Yeah, I looked it up too. More complex than I remember being taught.

If asked about the Norman Conquest Margie would probably opine about the 100 hour ground war blitz conducted by Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf In the Persian Gulf War.
Greene has said there are links between Hillary Clinton and pedophilia and human sacrifice[1] and, in 2017, speculated that the Pizzagate conspiracy theory is real.[6] Greene claimed Clinton murdered her political enemies in a revival of the "Clinton Kill List" conspiracy theory.[8] In one of her own videos, posted to YouTube in 2018, Greene suggested John F. Kennedy Jr.'s death in a plane crash in 1999 was a "Clinton murder" because he was a possible rival to her for a New York senate seat.[70]
A 2018 Facebook post showed Greene agreeing with a conspiracy theory known as Frazzledrip,[139] which asserts that there is a video of Hillary Clinton and her assistant Huma Abedin murdering a child in a satanic ritual and that Clinton later ordered a "hit" on a police officer to cover it up.[140][141][142] In response, Greene dismissed Media Matters' findings as the work of "Communists [sic] bloggers".[143]
Greene supported the debunked far-right QAnon conspiracy theory, saying in videos posted in 2017 on Facebook that the theories were "worth listening to".[7][134] She stated in a video, "There's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take this global cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles out, and I think we have the president to do it."[144]
According to her author biography page, Greene wrote 59 articles for the now-defunct conspiracy theory website American Truth Seekers, including one linking the Democratic Party to "Child Sex, Satanism, and the Occult".[8][6]
When Greene ran for the House of Representatives in 2020, she distanced herself from that conspiracy theory and said she had not referred to "Q" or QAnon during her campaign. She said she no longer had a connection with it and mentioned having found "misinformation".[
Antisemitism and "white genocide"
In 2018, Greene shared a video, With Open Gates: The Forced Collective Suicide of European Nations repeating the antisemitic white genocide conspiracy theory that "Zionist supremacists" are conspiring to flood Europe with migrants to replace the 'native' white populations.
The video, uncovered by Media Matters for America, said that those supporting refugees are using "immigrant pawns" to commit "the biggest genocide in human history". In sharing the video, Greene wrote that: "This is what the UN wants all over the world".[163] The white genocide conspiracy theory has been associated with white supremacy and espouses the unsubstantiated belief that white people, in a "Great Replacement", will eventually become a minority in Europe and North America due to declining white birth rates and high rates of immigration.
Greene has also falsely called George Soros, a Jewish businessman and Holocaust survivor, a Nazi.[164] She promoted the conspiracy theory that Soros' family collaborated with the Nazis in Hungary and is "trying to continue what was not finished".[114]
Camp Fire conspiracy theory
In January 2021, various media outlets reported that in November 2018, Greene's Facebook account shared a conspiracy theory about the deadly Camp Fire in California, suggesting that it could have been caused by "space solar generators" in a scheme involving California governor Jerry Brown, companies PG&E, Rothschild & Co and Solaren.[165][166][167]
The Rothschild family, a supposed "international cabal of Jewish bankers", has been the target of numerous antisemitic conspiracy theories since at least the 19th century.[168] Jewish groups such as the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and Anti-Defamation League criticized Greene's promotion of conspiracy theories tinged with antisemitic overtones[169] and commentators, elected officials, and others ridiculed it.[170] Fred Guttenberg criticized Greene, writing, "She denies that my daughter died in Parkland ... and yet, because my last name is Guttenberg, because I am Jewish, she thinks I shoot lasers at forests and start fires."[171]
In response, Solaren, a solar energy company, noted several fundamental problems with the conspiracy theory, including that its space-based solar power system did not beam power using the visible light part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and so could not be observed as the "blue beams of light" referenced by the conspiracy theory; that the system does not use lasers, and so could not have "laser beams"; that Solaren's power contract with PG&E ended in 2015; and that by 2021, Solaren had not in fact launched any solar power satellites into space at all, let alone had one in space in 2018.[172]
Responses within Congress
Democrats condemned Greene's incendiary statements and promotion of conspiracy theories. Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz introduced a motion to remove Greene from her committee assignments,[82][173] saying, "Greene's appalling behavior both before her election and during her term has helped fuel domestic terrorism, endangered lives of her colleagues and brought shame on the entire House of Representatives... Based on her actions and statements and her belligerent refusal to disavow them, she should not be permitted to participate in the important work of these two influential committees."[174] On February 1, 2021, House majority leader Steny Hoyer gave House minority leader Kevin McCarthy and other Republican House leaders an ultimatum: unless they stripped Greene of her committee seats within 72 hours, the Democrats would bring Wasserman Schultz's motion before the full House.[90][173] McCarthy has called some of Greene's comments "deeply disturbing".[175]
With Republican officials under mounting pressure to denounce Greene,[85] Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell issued a statement to The Hill in which he attacked "loony lies and conspiracy theories" as a "cancer for the Republican Party".[176]
The statement did not name Greene but reporting[174][177][178][179] described the statement as "unmistakably about"[180] and "clearly targeted" at Greene.[181] McConnell confirmed it the following day, referring to his comments on Greene and adding, "I think I adequately spoke out about how I feel."[182] His statement said that "Somebody who's suggested that perhaps no airplane hit the Pentagon on 9/11, that horrifying school shootings were pre-staged, and that the Clintons crashed JFK Jr.'s airplane is not living in reality.
This has nothing to do with the challenges facing American families or the robust debates on substance that can strengthen our party."[176] Greene tweeted in response, "[t]he real cancer for the Republican Party is weak Republicans who only know how to lose gracefully. This is why we are losing our country."[177][178] After McConnell's statement, several other Republican senators voiced criticisms of Greene.[183] Mitt Romney said that the Republican Party's "big tent is not large enough to both accommodate conservatives and kooks".[175]
Kevin Cramer said that he would have "a hard time supporting ... [Greene] being on the Education Committee" in the light of "her positions on the school shootings being staged", adding, "Real authority has moral authority."[183]
Both Florida senators condemned the idea that the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting might have not have been real, with Marco Rubio stating that anyone arguing it was a false flag is "either deranged or a sadist".[157][183] Greene used the criticism to set a new fundraising goal, saying that she needed to defend her seat.[182]
McCarthy met with Greene on February 2 and then held meetings with the House GOP Steering Committee,[184] which is responsible for committee assignments for Republican members of the House. No decision was made that day[183] but Greene was a major topic of discussion for the Republican Congressional Caucus meeting on February 3, along with the fate of Representative Liz Cheney after her vote in favor of Trump's second impeachment.[182] Greene retains Trump's support,[175] which presents McCarthy with a problem in managing the expectations of his party in dealing with the Cheney and Greene situations.[182]
As controversy grew about her previous comments, Greene removed her old social media posts,[185] and spoke before the House Republican Conference on February 3, 2021, to assert that her social media content did not reflect who she is. About half those in attendance rose and applauded after her comments.
That day, the Democratic-controlled Rules Committee passed Wasserman Schultz's motion to remove Greene from her committee assignments.[186] McCarthy indicated his conference would not act against Greene.[187][188]
Pelosi chastised McCarthy for acquiescing to Greene, referring to him as "McCarthy (Q-CA)".[189] The next day, February 4, the full House voted to remove Greene from her committee assignments.[17] The vote was 230 to 199, with 11 Republicans joining all Democrats.[190]
Responses outside Congress
The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and the Republican Jewish Coalition condemned Greene's statements.[85]
Greene's Twitter account was locked for 12 hours on January 17, 2021. A Twitter spokesperson said that Greene was sanctioned "for multiple violations of our civic integrity policy".[191] Twitter's action was based on a company policy it had used to remove thousands of QAnon-related accounts after the storming of the United States Capitol.[192]
Before the suspension, Greene's posts included false claims about voting fraud and statements blaming electoral officials in Georgia for their failure to act on such claims.[191][193][194][192] Upon returning to Twitter the next day, she criticized the company: "Contrary to how highly you think of yourself and your moral platitude, you are not the judge of humanity. God is."[195] She was again suspended from Twitter for 12 hours in the late evening of March 18, 2021, the ban expiring around midday the following day.[196] Twitter later said it was an error, and access to her account was restored.[197]
On February 9, 2021, Shaun Holmes, the father of a 10-year-old boy with Down syndrome, confronted Greene at a Whitfield County Republican Party meeting. Asked about her use of the word "retard" to refer to individuals with the syndrome, Greene said, "I guess it was a slang word. You can actually look it up in the dictionary", adding, "I do apologize for that being offensive to anyone."[198]
In a late January 2021 interview with far-right British political commentator Katie Hopkins, Greene said that she would "love to trade [Hopkins] for some of our white people here that have no appreciation for our country."[199]
In February 2021, CrossFit attempted to distance itself from Greene, who once owned an affiliated gym and is an avid proponent of CrossFit fitness regimens.[200] CrossFit spokesperson Andrew Weinstein told BuzzFeed News, "CrossFit supports respectful fact-based political dialogue to address our common challenges, and we strongly oppose the loathsome and dangerous lies attributed to Ms. Greene."[200]
