QAnon Rep. Dragged For Lie About Firearms Background Check Bill That Proves She Didn't Read It

Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is once again embroiled in controversy after telling a lie about a piece of legislation so blatant it proved she didn't even read it.

In a video on Twitter, Greene claimed that House Resolution 8, which addresses background checks for gun purchases, would create a "national gun registry."


The claim is a bald-faced lie, because the bill quite literally and explicitly states the opposite.

In her message to her followers, Greene was so dedicated to her craven lie she even called H.R. 8 "National Gun Registry."

The bill creates no such registry. Rather, it applies background checks to all gun purchases, including private sales and transfers. Polling has showed even most Republican voters support universal background checks for gun purchases.

Regardless, Greene, obviously reading from a prepared statement, openly lied to her followers about the bill.

"We all know that gun registration leads to gun confiscation. We need to stop that [bill] ASAP."

The bill explicitly forbids, word-for-word, a gun registry.

It reads:

"Nothing in this Act, or any amendment made by this Act, shall be construed to authorize the establishment, directly or indirectly, of a national firearms registry."

Greene also stoked baseless fears about another House bill which goes to a vote this week, H.R. 1446.

That bill grants the FBI additional time—up to one week, rather than the current standard three-days—to complete firearm background checks when needed. The bill aims to close the so-called "Charleston loophole," which allowed a White nationalist to acquire the guns with which he murdered 15 Black congregants of Charleston's Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in 2015.

According to Greene, the bill would make it impossible to purchase guns at all.

"[H.R. 1446] allows DC bureaucrats to stop you from being able to buy your firearm indefinitely."

The bill, of course, does no such thing.

It was clear Greene had not even read either bill, and on Twitter, her craven lying angered many.












Greene, an adherent of the QAnon conspiracy theory, is suspected by many to have been involved in the planning of the violent right-wing coup attempt at the Capitol on January 6 and has expressed support online for executing Democratic politicians. She was stripped of her committee assignments in the House in a bipartisan vote on February 4.

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
