Delivered A Syringe In My Mailbox': Marjorie Taylor Greene Discusses Speaking To FBI About Threats
Introduce the great Representative Marjorie Taylor-Burrin from Georgia.
Thank you for being here and I'm grateful to stand up here with my colleagues.
We've all joined together to denounce hate speech, political hate speech that has deadly
consequences.
A year ago, the world was outraged after they saw President Trump shot at the rally in Butler,
Pennsylvania.
And we still mourn the life of Cory Komprator and pray for his family as well as the other
victims that were shot.
However, this is just another type of violence that goes on and on and on, whether it's state
legislators in Minnesota, Governor Shapiro in Pennsylvania, or even me being one of the
biggest targets of death threats in Congress, as well as my colleagues standing here with
me.
I'll receive them.
This is a very serious situation and it happens in many ways.
It happens in the headlines.
It happens in news clips.
It happens in social media posts.
It happens in campaign literature and emails.
And it happens in rhetoric going across the aisle between Republicans and Democrats.
There is no place for political violence.
And the people that suffer the most are people like Cory Komprator and his family.
It's also a major strain on our Capitol Police.
If you talk to Capitol Police, I encourage you press to talk to them.
They are dealing with a massive amount of death threats for members of Congress, and
they have limited resources.
We would love to see their resources used here at the Capitol for visitors and safety
for everyone.
However, they are constantly having to investigate death threats that come for me and other members
of Congress.
Over the break, I spent time talking with the FBI about someone that delivered a syringe
in my mailbox and talked with them about other cases.
And there's been multiple people convicted for pleading guilty to planning to kill me.
But this goes across the aisle on both ways.
And I think I'm really grateful to be standing here with my colleagues that are saying enough
of this.
And I'd also, I can't go without saying that God saved President Trump's life in Butler,
Pennsylvania.
God saved him and he knows it and he says it frequently all the time.
And the American people know it.
And we're very grateful for that.
So with that, I'd like to introduce my other guests.
