"During a hearing in the US House on Tuesday, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene falsely claimed that an activist in Georgia murdered a state police officer earlier this year, in what the Republican lawmaker framed as part of a growing trend of deadly left-wing extremism in America. Ms Greene’s comments are inaccurate. In January, Georgia police shot and killed Teran, who was camping in an Atlanta-area forest to protest the construction of a controversial new police training facility dubbed “Cop City.” No police were killed in the encounter.
The Georgia case Rep Greene referenced is highly debated. A county autopsy performed last month found no evidence Teran fired on officers, noting the lack of customary gunpowder residue on Teran’s hands. No body camera footage of the deadly encounter exists, though police body camera footage from agents nearby captures officers speculating that the shooting may have been a friendly fire incident." As Amy Spitalnick of Human Rights First noted during the hearing, left-wing extremism is neither a major threat nor a deadly one, compared to other ideologies in the US - "Every single statistic makes clear that the vast majority of extremist violence is perpetrated by those motivated by white supremacist and other right-wing ideologies,” she testified"
Representative Greene made a brilliant move by claiming this Antifa guy shot and killed a cop even tho it isn't true... but it feels better to believe it happened and that is what leadership is all about...saying things we want to believe...and besides, if you know this isn't true, why are you so triggered unless you are on the side of Antifa? That is what makes this move so brilliant; because by totally making shit up; this puts the Dems in the position of correcting her by telling her no officer was actually killed. ...Essentially, the Dems are now on record defending Antifa - and now the rest of the public can clearly see that Dems are not just on the side of of Antifa, but also the KKK, BLM, the FBI and also the CIA; but against against law enforcement.
