(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., slammed Gotham Democrat Mayor Eric Adams for reportedly inciting violence and attempting to muzzle her protest of the Trump arraignment on Tuesday, calling New York City “disgusting.”
“New York City is disgusting. And so is the political persecuting of President Trump by Alvin Bragg,” tweeted Taylor Greene on Tuesday.
“[Adams] threatened me and basically put out a dog whistle for violence against me,” Taylor Greene told Fox News’s Tucker Carlson in a Wednesday interview. “He endowed whistles and try to create a chaotic scene of violence and assault and that is against the law by the way.”
The powerhouse congresswoman traveled to New York City to protest what she labeled the “political persecution” of former President Donald J. Trump, where she faced a rowdy crowd of anti-Trump hecklers.
“The reason why they’re prosecuting –or should we say— persecuting Donald Trump, is for the crime of actually winning the 2016 presidential election,” Greene warned. “That is what they are having these hysterics over and they’ve never gotten over it.
Minutes before Greene’s arrival, the leftist NYC mayor warned pro-Trump demonstrators to “control” themselves, accusing Greene without evidence of spreading “misinformation and hate speech.”
“NYC is our home, not a playground for your misplaced anger,” Adams said in a press conference, citing no evidence of Trump-inspired violence.
“Mayor Adams described New York as ‘his home.’ How did his home look? Pretty neat and tidy?” asked Carlson in reference to Adams’ press conference. “His home is disgusting. I compared it to what I call ‘Gotham City.’”
Greene decried, “There is so much crime in the city I can’t comprehend how people live there. It was repulsive, it smells bad and I think it’s a very terrible place.”
Thank you to the @NYYRC and every single Trump supporter who showed up on Tuesday! https://t.co/NKRXdTSzk9
