The Washington Post reports:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) appeared to kick an unarmed demonstrator during a confrontation outside the Capitol on Thursday afternoon.
Videos posted to Twitter by Greene and the Gen Z activist group Voters of Tomorrow show Greene leaving a news conference while being questioned by activists about gun violence. As Greene approaches a crosswalk, she appears to kick one of the activists, who was walking in front of her.
“Excuse me,” Greene says while at first appearing to step on demonstrator Marianna Pecora’s foot. “Excuse me,” Greene says again, this time after appearing to intentionally draw back her foot and aim for Pecora’s leg. “Oh my God,” Pecora, 18, is seen saying in the videos.

I’m the Deputy Communications Director @VotersTomorrow and our team is in DC this week to lobby for youth rights.
All the members of Congress we’ve met with so far (both Rs and Ds) have been nothing but respectful — except for @RepMTG. She kicked me. pic.twitter.com/vDCc3svIEZ

These foolish cowards want the government to take away guns & the rights of parents to defend their children in schools.
You have to be an idiot to think gun control will create a utopian society where criminals disarm themselves and obey the law.
