Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims ‘Insane’ Woman Attacked Her in Restaurant

-

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said she was “attacked” by an “insane” woman while dining with her staff at a restaurant Monday night.

“I was attacked in a restaurant tonight by an insane woman and screamed at by her adult son,” Greene said in a tweet. “They had no respect for the restaurant or the staff or the other people dining or people like me who simply have different political views.”

She isn't alone. Threats against other lawmakers continue to surge…

The alleged altercation is the latest in a long line against lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, including Greene.

A vehicle carrying two North Carolina Republicans, including House Speaker Tim Moore, was rammed from behind several times last week.

In July, agents rearrested David Jakubonis for assaulting then-Congressman Lee Zeldin with a bladed weapon at a campaign rally. Jakubonis was initially released with bail in accordance with New York's soft-on- laws.

Greene did not provide the name of the restaurant. Her deputy chief of staff declined to as well, saying that it would instantly become a target.

“I was sitting at my table, working with my staff, and never even noticed these people until they turned into demons,” Greene said.

“People used to respect others even if they had different views. But not anymore,” she added. “Our country is gone.”

The Georgia lawmaker has yet to reveal any additional details about the attack.

Rep. Greene recently found herself back in the spotlight after calling for a “national divorce” following President Biden's surprise trip to Kyiv, Ukraine. (RELATED: DeSantis Says No ‘Blank Check' for Ukraine Without Strategic Objective)

“We need a national divorce,” the Congresswoman tweeted.

“We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat's traitorous America Last policies, we are done.”

The bombastic Congresswoman and staunch Trump supporter is no stranger to receiving threats while serving in .

According to The Hill, a New York man pleaded guilty earlier this month to sending Greene several threatening voicemails last March, in which he said he was going to cause her “physical harm” and threatened to “pay someone 500 bucks to take a baseball bat and crack your skull.”
