Marjorie Taylor Greene defends boyfriend dressing in drag

After years of voicing her opinion on people who dressed in drag, Marjorie Taylor Greene is defending her boyfriend after a video emerged of him donning female attire and telling the world it felt good.

“I’m kicking the shoes off. I may keep the pantyhose on. It does feel kind of good, actually,” Greene's now-boyfriend Brian Glenn said to the camera as he sported a blonde wig and pink cardigan that accentuated his chest.

Greene took to Twitter to defend her partner, saying that Glenn, who was a morning news anchor in Dallas at the time the video was taken, had dressed as a woman on air as part of an upcoming theatre production.

“I’m literally lol’ing," Greene tweeted. "Brian dressed in drag for morning news in Dallas years ago reporting on an upcoming local theatre production and the morons over at Patriot Takes think this is an attack,” she tweeted.

“Brian loves the throwback and is reposting. The left is so stupid," Greene added, not realizing her own hypocrisy—though it wasn't the first time in recent memory she's tweeted something she probably should have kept to herself...

Earlier this month, Greene made headlines for her tone-deaf comments on Twitter about Texas's May 6th mall mass shooting being the result of drugs and evil forces. 

On May 6th, at least eight people were killed in yet another mass shooting in America when a 33-year-old gunman open fired at a suburban Texas mall according to CNN, a number that was later pushed to nine. 

The gunman was carrying an AR-15 assault-style rifle and another weapon but he was eventually shot and killed by a police officer who was at the mall for unrelated reasons, CNN added. 

Shortly after the news broke of the mass shooting, Greene took to Twitter to provide the world with her thoughts on the situation and to thank the officer who killed the gunman. 

“This is exactly what this monster deserves,” Greene posted to her Twitter account with a linked image of the dead shooter that Rolling Stone said was later removed by Twitter.

Greene thanked the officer who she said “ran into the line of fire to save others” and called his actions brave before moving on to blame everything but guns for the tragedy. 

“We pray for the victims and their families and an end to the mental illness, drugs, and evil forces that cause people to commit such horrors,” Greene wrote in her post. 

While Greene’s initial comments may have seemed somewhat measured, she made her situation a whole lot worse when by tweeting her solution for American mass shootings. 

For Greene, solving the problem of mass shootings in the U.S. comes down to providing more access to mental health hospitals and drug rehab facilities for those who need it. 

The big problem with her interpretation is that it didn't address the very real issue of gun policy in America nor the country’s ease of assessability problem fueling shootings.

Greene’s call to solve the country’s mental health crisis and drug problem was laudable,  but the rest of her comments showed that she was likely just repeating long-standing Republican conspiracy theories on depression, prescription drugs, and mass shootings.

“We need to study SSRI’s and other factors that cause mass shootings,” Greene wrote, something she’s posted about extensively in the wake of the Highland Park shooting.

At the time, Business Insider’s Alia Shoaib investigated the claim that antidepressants were related to mass shootings and spoke with experts that said there was little proof. 

"Blaming medications as a primary contributor to the spate of mass shootings simply isn't supported by evidence, and to me represents more of a political diversionary tactic than a real scientific theory," the Director of Lane County Behavioral Health David Rettew said according to Shoaib.

Rettew added that antidepressants had been studied in a variety of systematic and “randomized, double-blind controlled ways, and homicidal shootings just don't show up as a side-effect in these trials,” not that such insight would matter to Greene. 

Shortly after calling on the federal government to partner with states on mental health and drug rehab facilities, Greene posted what could only be interpreted as a racist diatribe calling out the Texas mall gunman's ethnicity and linking it to U.S. border policy. 

“9 people were murdered yesterday in Allen, TX by this man who appears Hispanic with what looks like a gang tattoo on his hand,” Greene wrote with images of the dead gunman. “Title 42 ends on Thursday and CBP says 700,000+ migrants are going to rush the border.”  Greene's message couldn't have been any clearer...
