Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says that she believes leftists have created an “incredibly hostile work environment” for her inside the Capitol.
“It’s a dangerous place to work,” Greene told the “Just the News, Not Noise”.
She said this a day after one of her posters was torn down outside her congressional office and thrown in the garbage because of the instruction of a House Democrat.
Greene said that all three police incidents involve Democrats who objected to her posters outside House Longworth Building congressional office that expressed her Christian beliefs. Specifically, the posters expressed that there are only two genders, male and female.
“They’re creating an incredibly hostile work environment,” Greene said.
“They’re creating a workplace environment for me, and they have the entire time, where I don’t feel safe. I’m threatened based on my gender, that I’m a woman, and they’re attacking my religion, my Christianity, my faith. And those are all protected things. And at the same time, no one is held accountable.”
Problems began for her when she began putting up her posters outside her office.
The Capitol Police eventually put surveillance cameras in the area and caught Timothy Hysom, the chief of staff to Democratic Rep. Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts, as the perpetrator.
Just The News reported:
Police requested an arrest warrant for Hysom, but the U.S. Attorney’s office in Washington D.C. declined in May, according to police records and interviews. Greene has filed a complaint against Hysom with the House Ethics Committee.
Last month, nine members of a television production crew for CBS comic Stephen Colbert were caught trespassing in the Longworth building late at night. At the time of their arrest on charges of unlawful entry, the crew members were filming skits poking fun at congressional Republicans in the vicinity of Greene’s office.
Police video footage showed the team appearing to try to hang a poster outside the Georgia Republican’s door while another filmed with his phone. Capitol Police say the nine Colbert staffers were warned repeatedly against trespassing before being arrested. Again, the U.S. Attorney’s office declined prosecution, a decision that Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger criticized as “unfortunate.”
Greene’s office had to require police interventions again when another poster was ripped down and thrown into the men’s bathroom.
According to a Republican aide on the House Administration Committee, Democrat Committee Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren’s staff ordered the removal of Greene’s poster showing Hysom’s photo.
“This is how the Democrats view regular Americans, Christians who share, and hold these beliefs,” Greene said.
“And this is the same way they would treat them, the way they’re treating me. And it’s absolutely appalling. And it’s a dangerous place to work.”
Just The News also shared:
Hysom did not return a request for comment, but Auchincloss’ spokesperson sent Just the News a statement confirming the defacing had occurred but insisting that treating it as a crime was “ridiculous.” The spokesman said Hysom considered Greene’s posters to contain “mean-spirited” and “bullying” messages so he affixed stickers with his own opinions on them.
