Marjorie Taylor Greene visited the Capitol and tried to get Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib to retake their oaths on the Bible

Republican congressional candidate and right-wing pundit Marjorie Taylor Greene is a bigot both on and offline.

In February 2019, she visited Capitol Hill -- her likely future place of employment -- and filmed herself unsuccessfully trying to interrogate Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). During the video, she falsely claimed that they're illegitimate members of Congress because they took their congressional oaths of office on the Quran and said she wanted to make them retake their oath on the Bible. She also said she wanted to tell them they “really should go back to the Middle East if they support Sharia.” In addition to being bigoted, her remarks are also ignorant as their oaths were legitimate and neither representative is from the Middle East.

The Southern Poverty Law Center previously reported on Greene and her visit in an August 16, 2019, article.

Greene is likely to become the first supporter of the violence-linked QAnon conspiracy theory in Congress next year after she won her primary runoff in a heavily Republican congressional district in Georgia. (Greene has disingenuously tried to distance herself from her prior support for QAnon.) She has the backing of key Republicans, including President Donald Trump and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
