MTG Calls Highland Park Mass Shooting A False Flag

July 6, 2022 Extremists, Republicans

Yahoo News reports:

Marjorie Taylor Greene suggested Tuesday night on Facebook that the 4th of July shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, was orchestrated by Democrats as part of an effort to convince Republicans to support gun control measures.

“Two shootings on July 4th, one in a rich, white neighborhood and another at a fireworks display,” she said, also referencing two police officers who were shot non-fatally in Philadelphia.

“It sounds like it’s designed to persuade Republicans to go along with more gun control. We didn’t see that happen at all the Pride parades in June, but as soon as we hit MAGA month, the month that we’re celebrating – loving our country – we have shootings on July 4th.”

#MarjorieTaylorGreene is actually suggesting that the #HighlandPark killings and another #July4th shooting were “false flag” operations to gin up GOP support for #guncontrol because they happened during “Maga Month” (apparently appropriating the entire month of July, cuz July 4). https://t.co/S0fvghSeMI
