She tried to force her own religion on somebody else:
"In February 2019, Greene walked through the halls of Congress with the stated intent of making Muslim representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, who had taken their oaths of office using Qurans, retake their oaths on Bibles, suggesting there was a law requiring it. There has never been such a law and Article VI of the Constitution states, "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.""
"Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a QAnon-supporting Republican who is known for pushing conspiracy theories and making racists comments, previously tried to force Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib to retake their congressional oaths on the Bible.
Video footage surfaced on Wednesday of Ms Greene walking through the halls of Congress prior to being elected as a Georgia representative.
In the footage, she was claiming that Ms Omar and Ms Tlaib were illegitimate Democratic representatives because they took their oaths of office on the Quran instead of the Bible.
“We’re going to explain about how you can’t swear in on the Quran,” Ms Greene said in the footage. “We’re going to have the Bible and ask them if they would swear in on the Bible … I think that’s important.”
Someone off-camera then told Ms Greene that she was “infringing” on the two representatives’ religion by asking them to take their oaths of office with the Bible instead of the Quran.
“It wasn’t a law yet … at the time they swore in. I think at the time they swore in it wasn’t passed, because it wouldn’t pass in a Republican-controlled ... “ Ms Greene said. “So they’re not really official, I don’t think.”
What she was insinuating in that video was that there was some law that required all members of Congress to be sworn in on the Bible. At the time of Ms Omar and Ms Tlaib’s ceremonies, Ms Greene claimed, there was no law allowing them to use a Quran over the Bible.
This position has been repeated in recent years by other fringe members of the Republican party, and it’s inaccurate.
There has never been a law in United States history that requires an elected official of the country to take the oath of office with a Bible or any other religious text. The United States Constitution actually states "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.” "
No Such Law

Bitch! Nikolas Cruz should have been in Chattahoochee before any of that happened.
Back in the day there were state mental institutions which Nikolas Cruz should have been in. He was kookoo for coco puffs.
Then there was the Obama policies and Scott Israel.. fucking douchebags all!
I place some of the blame on the State of Florida. The rest goes to Scott Israel with some bullshit Obama policies implemented locally.
I'm tellin' ya...back in the day, that boy would have been in Chattahoochee before he could have done any of that.
Things aren't exactly getting better in the US. No other countries ever closed their Mental institutions. Nope.
David Hogg is an opportunist POS that has no clue as to what's what. He ain't me.
Nikolas Cruz was mentally ill and should have been in a state institution before any of that happened.
All the signs were there and Broward County Sheriff's (Scott Israel) and The State of FL (HRS?)dropped the ball.
He's in a state institution now! Probably Raiford.
IMO, somebody like that should be hanged. Should have been in the Mental Hospital before, but now he should be hanged..by the neck until dead.

David Hogg is an opportunist POS. That's a fact. He's a floater, k?
Nikolas Cruz was Florida's problem, not Georgia's. I'm guessing you are somewhat mentally deficient.
I used to have a sock named Trumpet. Even he had more integrity than to change someone's quote. Poor form, that.
