Read our privacy policy 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. “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. The resurfaced video comes after a CNN KFile report revealed that Ms Greene has filled her social media feed with several extremist viewpoints in recent years before she was elected to office in November. In a January 2019 Facebook post, Ms Greene “liked” a comment advocating “a bullet to the head” for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, according to a screenshot shared by CNN.
