Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene recently took to social media to express her admiration for Slovakia's Prime Minister, Robert Fico, after he was the target of an assassination attempt. Fico's bold stance against the World Health Organization and mass COVID-19 vaccinations was lauded by Greene, who referred to the incident as a show of courage.
In a tweet that garnered attention, Greene mentioned that it was no surprise that Fico was attacked, given his confrontational stance on global health policies. The tweet was in response to a video where Fico emphasized his party's refusal to support empowering the WHO and raised concerns about the potential risks associated with widespread vaccination campaigns using experimental vaccines.
The reaction to Greene's tweet was polarized, with some social media users criticizing her for spreading conspiracy theories and others questioning the appropriateness of her "no wonder they shot him" comment. The incident shed light on the controversial statements made by Greene in the past and her reputation for endorsing unproven theories and challenging established health organizations.
The attempted assassination of Slovak PM Robert Fico in Handlova, which resulted in his hospitalization, raised concerns about political violence and the safety of public figures. In the aftermath of the shooting, a suspect was apprehended, prompting discussions about the motivations behind the attack and the overall security of political leaders. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's vocal support for Fico following the incident added another layer of complexity to the ongoing debate surrounding health policies and public figures' safety.
