Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene Criticized For Racially-Charged Comments Towards Colleague
- A constituent called out Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for comparing Rep. Jamaal Bowman to Emmett Till's murderer during a town hall meeting.
- Greene claimed Bowman's "physical mannerisms are aggressive" and that she felt "threatened" by him after a confrontation on Capitol Hill.
- Many saw Greene's comments as racially charged and as putting a target on Bowman's back.
