    Marjorie Taylor Greene is facing widespread calls to resign after she blamed Democrats for the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, describing them as the “party of pedophiles.” 

    Her comments came swiftly after the incident, labeling the situation a “battle” against what she calls the “party of pedophiles.”

    A gunman, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired at a Trump rally in rural Pennsylvania, striking the president’s ear just minutes into his speech. 

    This event triggered a flurry of reactions, with Greene quickly taking to social media to voice her contentious views.

    In her comments, Greene suggested a deliberate Democratic plot against Trump, stating, “Democrats wanted this to happen” and they have “wanted Trump gone for years and they’re prepared to do anything to make that happen.” 

    Her assertions have fueled further debate and controversy.

    Expanding on her earlier statements, Greene attacked the Democrats with even more fervor, calling the country’s polarized politics a “battle between GOOD and EVIL,” which she posted on X, formerly Twitter. 

    Her remarks have escalated tensions and drawn criticism for their divisive nature.

    Reactions to Greene’s comments about the shooting have been sharply negative, with critics like Omar Rivero of Occupy Democrats expressing dismay at her handling of the situation. 

    Rivero said, “Donald Trump almost got shot dead by a Republican gun nut wielding an AR-15 — and this is how you respond? You’re truly beyond deplorable.”

    Further complicating the narrative, it was revealed that although the gunman had previously donated to a progressive political action committee, he was registered as a Republican according to Pennsylvania voter data. 

    This detail has added a layer of complexity to the discussions around the shooting and Greene’s remarks.

    A former classmate, Max Smith, provided a different view of the gunman, describing him as a steadfast conservative during their school days. 

    He recalled, “The majority of the class were on the liberal side, but Tom, no matter what, always stood his ground on the conservative side.”

    Escalating Rhetoric and Response

    The dialogue surrounding Greene’s comments and the shooting incident has continued to intensify, with many calling for a reassessment of political rhetoric in the U.S. 

    In particular, Greene’s statements have been seen as exacerbating an already volatile political climate.
