Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) criticized Democrats for accusing her and other Republicans of idolizing former President Donald Trump, clarifying that her only savior is Jesus and accusing the radical left of hypocrisy for their support of George Floyd.
“Well, Dr. Fauci. I want to join my colleague from Florida and apologize that some of our colleagues in the United States House of Representatives seem to want to drag your name through the mud. They’re treating you, Dr. Fauci, like a convicted felon,” Raskin said before insinuating support for Trump without mentioning his name.

“Actually, you probably wish they were treating you like a convicted felon. They treat convicted felons with love and admiration. Some of them blindly worship convicted felons,” Raskin said of Trump supporters.
“Everything I said is correct. It’s how the American people feel. It’s what we know to be a fact…all the evidence has been proven true. We have Jamie Raskin in there accusing us of worshipping Trump — worshipping a ‘convicted felon,’” she said, using air quotes.
The reporter pointed out that Trump “is a convicted felon,” prompting Greene’s rebuttal.
“Well, yes, so was George Floyd, and everybody — and you all, too, the media — worshipped George Floyd. Democrats worshipped George Floyd. There were riots burning down the country over George Floyd, and Raskin is in there saying we worship him [Trump],” she said.
“Excuse me, let me correct you — and this is really important — I don’t worship — I worship God. God. And Jesus is my Savior. I don’t worship President Trump, and I’m really sick and tired of the antics I have to deal with constantly from the Democrats,” the congresswoman stated, explaining that it is unfair that Democrats can attack her character “all day long.”
“They’re responsible for the lockdowns, forced vaccinations, kids being forced to stay home, people committing suicides, and all the horrors that this country lived through during COVID,” she said, doubling down on what she said during the hearing.
“Fauci belongs in prison. He should be tried for mass murder. And he should be tried for crimes against humanity. That’s how I feel after that hearing. That’s how the American people feel,” she added.
I’m tired of Democrat antics claiming Republicans worship Donald Trump.
I worship God!

“You know what this committee should be doing? We should be recommending you to be prosecuted. We should be writing a criminal referral because you should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity,” she said at the end of her line of questioning. “You belong in prison, Dr. Fauci.”
