"Greene said she had voted to denounce antisemitism many times previously, but that it had become an exercise that they force on Congress; she did not specify who she was referring when she said they. I simply got tired of it, Greene said about voting to denounce antisemitism. Stahl then asked her if there was no value in having Congress reaffirm its disgust with Jewish hate in the face of a growing problem."
"We don't have to get on our knees and say it over and over again Greene said. Get on our knees? Stahl interjected, while raising her eyebrows. Yes, we do not have to get on our knees, Greene reiterated. Stahl told her most members of Congress disagree with her. Well, most members of Congress take donations from AIPAC, and I don't, Greene said."
"The 51-year-old lawmaker has been mocked for years after she blamed Rothschild Inc. for starting California wildfires with space lasers. She recently told Bill Maher she did not know the Rothschild family was Jewish. Still, the phrase Jewish space lasers has become one of the go-to jokes tied to MTG. Her 60 Minutes interview included a few other notable moments, including when she claimed President Donald Trump directly fueled death threats against one of her sons."
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Congress does not need to repeatedly denounce antisemitism and said she had grown tired of voting on such measures. She noted she was the only Republican to call the War in Gaza a genocide and voted against the 2024 Antisemitism Awareness Act. Greene blamed an unnamed group for forcing the ritual of denouncements and rejected congressional reaffirmations as unnecessary. She asserted most members of Congress take donations from AIPAC and said she does not. The lawmaker reiterated past controversial claims about the Rothschilds and said President Trump’s rhetoric prompted death threats against one of her sons.
