A meal out on the town for the controversial lawmaker Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) turned into an “attack” on Monday night, as the Republican claimed that an “insane” woman accosted her at a restaurant.
Greene took to Twitter after the incident, sharing that the main reason for the attack was their differing political views.
“I was attacked in a restaurant tonight by an insane women and screamed at by her adult son,” Greene tweeted. “They had no respect for the restaurant or the staff or the other people dining or people like me who simply have different political views.”
Greene continued saying that she was at her table working with members of her staff when the woman and her son “turned into demons.”
“People used to respect others even if they had different views. But not anymore,” Greene said. “Our country is gone.”
There were no further details shared about the alleged attack, and Greene did not share if she called the local authorities. Her office has not responded to requests for comment from multiple news outlets.
The alleged attack comes weeks after Greene’s fellow congress member Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN) was assaulted inside the elevator of her Washington, D.C., apartment building.
Craig wasn’t severely injured in the attack, and it wasn’t politically motivated. The man responsible has also since been arrested.
However, the alleged attack on Greene does come a week after she suggested Republican and Democratic states have a “national divorce.”
“We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government,” Greene tweeted last week. “From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done.”
Since her comments, both Democrats and Republicans in Congress have ridiculed and criticized her for the idea, including Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT).
“I think Abraham Lincoln dealt with that kind of insanity,” Romney said last week, The Salt Lake Tribune reported. “We’re not going to divide the country. It’s united we stand and divided we fall.”
This also wasn’t the first time that Greene was the recipient of threats, as a New York man pleaded guilty to sending her several threatening voicemails in March 2021, saying he was going to “pay someone 500 bucks to take a baseball bat and crack your skull.”
