After Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) held a press conference on Friday, her colleague Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) offered some praise that seemed more sexual than political.
And its creeping a lot of people out.
Greene spoke to reporters outside the Capitol the day after the House of Representatives stripped her of her committee assignments , due to her history of embracing dangerous conspiracy theories and of thinly veiled threats of violence against lawmakers who are now her colleagues.
Of course, Im sorry for saying all those things that are wrong and offensive, and I sincerely mean that, she said. I think its good to say when weve done something wrong.
However, she refused to apologize for the 2019 incident where she followed and berated David Hogg who survived a mass shooting in Florida and is now a gun safety activist while carrying a firearm. Hogg was 18 or 19 at the time.

David Hogg was an adult when I talked to him, Greene said Friday, adding later, No, Im not sorry for telling him he shouldnt push for gun control.
You can see her comments below.
