Statements from Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, saying that Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should be killed over alleged "treason" have resurfaced online after the Democratic leader's husband was attacked by a man in San Francisco early Friday morning who broke into the couple's home. In one video that was posted on Twitter by CNN reporter Andrew Kaczynski in April that was shared online following Friday's attack, Greene stated before being elected to Congress in 2020: "[Pelosi's] a traitor to our country, she's guilty of treason. She took an oath to protect American citizens and uphold our laws and she gives aid and comfort to our enemies who illegally invade our land—that's what treason is." Greene was referring to Pelosi not supporting former President Donald Trump's border wall, according to CNN.
Greene added: "And by our law, representatives and senators can be kicked out and no longer serve in our government, and it's a crime punishable by death is what treason is. Nancy Pelosi is guilty of treason and we want her out of our government."

Oct 19, 2022: HuffPost: Nancy Pelosi Taunts Trump For Lack Of Courage On Jan. 6: 'He's All Talk'
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is opening up about her threat to punch then-President Donald Trump if he actually attempted to enter the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. “He wouldn’t have had to courage to come to the Hill,” she said on MSNBC on Tuesday. “He’s all talk.” In her new comments, Pelosi said she didn’t like to talk about Trump “because it’s really a tragedy for our country.” But, she was concerned about the big picture. “Our democracy is at stake when you define democracy as integrity of the vote,” she said. “They want to suppress the vote. They’ve been doing that for a long time. They want to nullify the results of an election. They’re even proposing that after an election, if they don’t like the results, they will change the rules that would have governed that election retroactively. So you have to recognize that they are undermining our democracy.” |

July 31, 2014: "Well, we all -- war is a deadly thing. And I have many Palestinians who live in my district and I am hearing them regularly about how their families are affected who live in the region. It's a terrible thing. But let me just say that any missile that comes from someplace has a return address. And if Israel is responding to that address, then that's a shame that the Palestinians are use -- are rumored to be using children and families as shields for their missiles.....Should we all try to, first of all, avoid conflict, the Hamas initiated this. So again, this has to be something where we try to have the two-state solution, that we have to support -- we have to support Abbas and his role as a leader there. We have to support Iron Dome to protect the Israelis from the missiles. We have to support the Palestinians and what they need. And we have to confer with the Qataris, who have told me over and over again that Hamas is a humanitarian organization, maybe they could use their influence to- Fox News' Megyn Kelly said that Nancy Pelosi seemed to suggest over the weekend that Hamas, which we recognize as a terrorist group, is actually out to do good. Kelly played only the end of CNN discussion - which made it look like Pelosi was agreeing with the Qataris. Kelly shouted in ginned up indignation.
Megyn: It is stunning! It’s not like some crazy fringe group here in America says Hamas is a terrorist organization. The State Department! And she’s out there saying that they’re a humanitarian group and when asked, …"Do you agree?" "Mmm-hmm" is the most she can muster. What just went on there? -Crooks and Liars
