Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene was accused of hypocrisy after she asked for the media to "respect our privacy" after her husband Perry filed for divorce on Wednesday, September 28.
Perry Greene said the marriage is “irretrievably broken,” according to court documents.
He has asked the Floyd County Superior Court to seal the divorce proceedings “because the parties’ significant privacy interest in sealing the records outweighs the public’s miniscule interest in access to said records.”
\u201cMarjorie Taylor Greene's husband, Perry, has filed for a divorce from the congresswoman. "The marriage between the Petitioner and the Respondent is irretrievably broken."\u201d— Charles Bethea (@Charles Bethea) 1664411639
After Perry Greene said in a statement he and his soon to be ex-wife "will continue to focus on our 3 incredible kids and their future endeavors and our friendship," Representative Greene asked “the media respect our privacy at this time."
However, Greene was criticized by people who pointed out she supported moves that reduce the privacy of American citizens, such as the recent Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade that imperils previously established precedent regarding reproductive healthcare decisions.
Others have pointed out Greene has not respected the privacy of survivors of the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
Perhaps most infamously, Greene has held a vendetta against gun control activist David Hogg, who became a national face for the movement after surviving the shooting.
The tension between Hogg and Greene came to a head after a video of Greene heckling Hogg went viral. Greene followed Hogg in the street and accused him of "using your lobby and the money behind it and the kids to try to take away my Second Amendment rights."
Hogg criticized Greene for reducing school shootings to conspiracies though he said he is not concerned with the remarks Greene made about him.
Instead, he called on her to apologize to “the real people that she offended, which are the families in Parkland and Las Vegas and Sandy Hook that have a permanently empty bedroom, that have a permanently empty place at the dinner table," which Greene has not done.

\u201cQAnon terrorist Marjorie Taylor Greene stalked a teenage parkland shooting survivor and harassed a Congresswoman in Congress known for having a transgender child with bigoted offensive attacks, so no, we will not respect her privacy during any time. She deserves no respect, ever.\u201d— Ricky Davila (@Ricky Davila) 1664422519
\u201cI\u2019ll respect Marjorie Taylor Greene\u2019s privacy surrounding her husband filing for divorce from her about as much as she respects the privacy of a woman\u2019s deeply personal medical and reproductive choices.\u201d— @\ud835\udd4a\ud835\udd66\ud835\udd5f\ud835\udd55\ud835\udd52\ud835\udd56_\ud835\udd3e\ud835\udd5a\ud835\udd63\ud835\udd5d (@@\ud835\udd4a\ud835\udd66\ud835\udd5f\ud835\udd55\ud835\udd52\ud835\udd56_\ud835\udd3e\ud835\udd5a\ud835\udd63\ud835\udd5d) 1664422544
\u201cMarjorie Taylor Greene wants the media to respect her privacy while she deals with her ending marriage. I hope the media gives her the same amount of respect she gave David Hogg when she filmed herself harassing & stalking him after he\u2019d witnessed the slaughtering of his peers.\u201d— Meredith Lee (@Meredith Lee) 1664428391
\u201cMarjorie Taylor Greene, who stalked Parkland shooting survivors, would like the media to respect her privacy during this difficult time.\u201d— \ud835\udc01\ud835\udc1e\ud835\udc24\ud835\udc2c (@\ud835\udc01\ud835\udc1e\ud835\udc24\ud835\udc2c) 1664415619
\u201cJust your reminder that as QAnon terrorist Marjorie Taylor Greene asks people to respect her privacy after her husband filed for divorce that she kicked and physically assaulted a teenage activist a couple of weeks ago, so no, she gets no respect, ever. She\u2019s disgusting.\u201d— Ricky Davila (@Ricky Davila) 1664458461
\u201cMarjorie Taylor Greene is asking for privacy after her husband filed for divorce\n\nIsn\u2019t this the same Greene who does NOT think her fellow women have a right to privacy with regard to our uteruses?\n\nThe same Greene who thinks rape & incest victims should be forced to give birth?\u201d— Lindy Li (@Lindy Li) 1664432154
