Following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) triggered widespread condemnation for her inflammatory remarks on X (formerly Twitter). Instead of urging unity, Greene accused the left of inciting civil conflict.
After the Butler, Pennsylvania incident, Greene tweeted, “The left wants a civil war. They have been trying to start one for years. These people are sick and evil.”
She continued, “All of us on the right want peace, security, equal justice, freedom, and prosperity for ALL Americans. Trying times ahead. Hold fast to your faith and God.”
Critics swiftly responded, highlighting the shooter’s right-wing affiliations and criticizing Greene for exacerbating divisions during a national crisis.
“Trump was shot at by a registered republican, you goon! You don’t want peace. You’re vile. You called for Nancy Pelosi to be hanged! You’re awful,” One user wrote.
“AGAIN…The shooter was a REPUBLICAN!!! The threat is NOT from Democrats. It’s coming from inside your party,” another shot back.
“Your behavior and rhetoric is repulsive. I can’t wait for you to lose and go away. True colors show after this near tragedy. Sad and shameful,” replied Nick Gelso.

You’ve been calling for Civil War all along. None of us want that and neither should you. More deaths happened in the Civil War than any other war. Have you literally lost what mind you have left? A National Divorce is another one. How quickly you forget. When all along it was a… pic.twitter.com/FSZ9ylrKOQ

Who wants a civil war?? Not the left. You’re the party of violence. J6 ring a bell? How about the Heritage Foundation do they ring a bell with you?

Trump and MAGA are the most hateful, divisive and violent bunch in modern history! The saying, live by the sword, die by the sword, comes to mind.

Your behavior and rhetoric is repulsive. I can’t wait for you to lose and go away. True colors show after this near tragedy. Sad and shameful. You really do embarrass our country every time you speak or tweet. Gross.
