MTG Suggesting Failed Assassination on Trump Was a Hoax
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene made outrageous comments by amplifying a social media post suggesting the July 13, 2024, Butler assassination attempt on President Trump was staged or a hoax.
She shared it as “extremely important,” questioned transparency on shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks, and implied suspicious behavior around the famous “Fight” photo. Greene later said she was not calling it a hoax but demanded answers.
The unfounded claims, lacking evidence and contradicting official investigations, highlighted her incompetence and tendency for baseless conspiracy theories repeatedly.
