Marjorie Taylor Greene Twitter Account Restricted Over Transphobic Response to Tennessee Shooting
After it was found that the Tennessee school shooter who shot up a school in Nashville and killed six people was transgender, Marjorie Taylor Greene and other Republicans took no time to link the violence to the shooter's gender identity.
The controversial Georgia Republican congresswoman repeatedly posted an image of a poster about a rally called "Trans Day of Vengeance" as a response to the shooting. However, this led to Twitter restricting her congressional account for seven days, according to The Hill.
The Nashville school shooting has left six people dead, three of whom were all children aged 9. The shooter, identified as a transgender man named Audrey Hale, 28, was killed in the incident.
Following the controversial MAGA Republican's transphobic tweets blaming the incident on the shooter being trans, Ella Irwin, Twitter's head of trust and safety, stated, "We do not support tweets that incite violence irrespective of who posts them. 'Vengeance' does not imply peaceful protest."
Twitter removed images of the poster as it may incite violence. It reportedly called on people to gather at the Supreme Court to "stop trans genocide." The main wording on the poster says "Trans Day of Vengeance."
"The people need to know about the threats they face from Antifa & trans-terrorism!!!" said Greene. This was when Twitter sent her a notification.
Marjorie Taylor Greene and JD Vance Spread Misinformation on Transgender People
Greene reportedly blamed the hormones trans people were taking for the violence, writing on Twitter, "How much hormones like testosterone and medications for mental illness was the transgender Nashville school shooter taking?" before adding, "Everyone can stop blaming guns now."
Another Republican lawmaker, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, echoed her sentiment, tweeting, "If you tell transgender people that they're being genocided, it is expected that some people will take violent means as a response."

"We recognize that when we're talking about White supremacists or any other ideological group. There's a broad recognition in this country that when you tell people that they're being violently destroyed, that sometimes people take violent measures in response," the senator said.
However, Business Insider pointed out that several studies have shown that there is no evidence to suggest that identifying as transgender leads to being violent. However, these studies do show that transgender people face disproportionate levels of violence by virtue of their identity.
Mom Interrupts Fox News After Tennessee School Shooting
Meanwhile, a few moments after the shooting happened, a woman who previously survived a different mass shooting interrupted a Fox News live report Monday to demand more gun control legislation.
"Aren't you guys tired of covering this? Aren't you guys tired of being here and having to cover all of these mass shootings?" she asked as a Fox News team was setting up. She revealed that she previously survived the Highland Park shooting that happened in Illinois earlier this year, according to the New Republic.
As she was asking Fox News, "How is this still happening?" the conservative network cut out of the shot as the woman discussed the lack of proper gun storage laws.
