 QAnon Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Parkland shooting survivor and gun control activist David Hogg was trained 'like a dog,' in a clip that surfaced Tuesday as Democrats are poised to remove her from committee assignments over controversial statements. 

'So he is very trained, he's like a dog, he's completely trained,' Greene said in an 2019 interview with Georgia Gun Owners executive director Patrick Parsons, who's now her chief of staff. 

The video, which remains on Facebook, was first unearthed by NBC News

On Wednesday, a video went viral that showed now Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (back left and right) following Parkland survivor and gun control activist David Hogg (left) around Capitol Hill's campus, chiding him for his support of gun control measures 


In it, Greene is speaking about following Hogg around on Capitol Hill, a clip that went viral last week in the aftermath of CNN breaking a story about how the Georgia Republican had indicated support for executing Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in Facebook posts. 

The original video shows Greene following Hogg on Capitol Hill, at one point calling him a 'coward,' and asking the school shooting victim if he realized his classmates wouldn't been killed if the school's guard had been armed. 

'Good guys with guns hurt bad guys with guns, they'll kill them, and it will reduce the number of deaths,' she noted.  

Describing the encounter to Parsons, Greene said Hogg 'does not talk.' 

'He only talks when he's scripted,' she said. 

Greene said Hogg was being followed around Capitol Hill with a 'gaggle of girls' and also female 'handlers' in their 20s and 30s.  

'Here they are, they are so naive and they are being so brainwashed into fighting to take away something that protects them as women,' she said of Hogg's female companions. 'I was heartbroken, literally heartbroken. I'm so thankful for my Second Amendment rights.' 

'They're fighting to get rid of the right to protect themselves from getting raped,' Greene continued in the 2019 interview. 

'I'm looking at this idiot, David Hogg, leading these girls who are clueless, absolutely clueless, into giving up the greatest thing that protects them,' the future congresswoman added. 

While Greene has expressed beliefs in a number of conspiracy theories, including QAnon, that a plane didn't hit the Pentagon on 9/11 and that California's Camp Fire was caused by space lasers, which she connected to the Rothschilds in an anti-Semitic dog whistle, Pelosi's biggest complaint was that the congresswoman expressed doubt that Parkland and Sandy Hook actually happened. 

Last week, Pelosi went on a tirade because Greene had been placed by Republican leadership on the House's Education committee after saying the massacres had been 'staged.' 


'What could they be thinking? Or is thinking too generous a word for what they might be doing. It's absolutely appalling and I think that the focus has to be on the Republican leadership of this House of Representatives for the disregard they have for the death of those children,' Pelosi said Thursday.  

Pelosi said top Republicans were willing to 'overlook' Greene's comments 'when she has mocked the killing of little children,' pointing specifically to the massacres at Sandy Hook Elementary and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the latter of which Hogg attended. 


Since video of Hogg and Greene's encounter went viral, the now 20-year-old gun control activist has also called for Greene to be stripped of her committee assignments. 

Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz introduced a resolution that would remove Greene from her committees and a vote is expected Wednesday. 

Only a majority, which Democrats have, would need to vote yea. 

That's an easier sell than a separate effort from Rep. Jimmy Gomez to have Greene expelled from Congress. 

As of Tuesday night, Gomez said he had 68 co-sponsors. 

Still, that legislation would need two-thirds of the House for passage.  

A handful of Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell have spoken out against Greene, but they remain a small fraction of GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
