Far-right congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has posted a video in which she appears to kick a youth activist. 

The Republican shared a video on Twitter where she is seen being confronted by multiple gun control activists who are pressing her on the matter outside the Capitol in Washington.

She captioned the video: “These foolish cowards want the government to take away guns & the rights of parents to defend their children in schools.

“You have to be an idiot to think gun control will create a utopian society where criminals disarm themselves and obey the law.

“‘Gun-free’ zones kill people.”

She captioned the video: “These foolish cowards want the government to take away guns & the rights of parents to defend their children in schools.

“You have to be an idiot to think gun control will create a utopian society where criminals disarm themselves and obey the law.

“‘Gun-free’ zones kill people.”

In one part of the video, a young activist looks to block MTG’s path before the politician has the wise idea to kick her not once but twice. 

Firstly, probably not the best idea to kick a member of the public as an elected leader of the country.

Secondly, not the smartest move to then go and post about it on Twitter for the world to see.

At one point in the video, one of the protestors asks the Georgia Representative why she protects gun rights when children are being shot and killed.

She responds by telling the man to ‘move to another country where they take away your guns’.

Ah yes, a reasonable and sane response befitting of Ms. Greene. 

Soon after the video was posted, the protestor in question, Marianna Pecora, asked the question that the entire world was also wondering: “Did she literally just tweet out the video of her kicking me?”

Really throwing herself under the bus there.

Pecora is part of the Voters For Tomorrow group who were in Washington DC to lobby for youth rights. 

In the clip, Pecora appears to ask: “How does the second amendment prevent gun violence?"

To which MTG responds with a swift kick while bellowing out: “Excuse me, out of the way, excuse me.”

One of the congresswoman’s staff members appears to attempt to quickly clear up the mess and place the blame on Pecora.

He says: “You literally cannot do that. It’s against the law.”

So is physical assault mate. 

Executive member of Voters For Tomorrow, Santiago Mayer responded to the video: “You literally kicked a member of my team, a**hole.”

Mayer later confirmed on Twitter that the group were talking to their legal team about press charges. 

He tweeted: “To answer the most prevalent question about pressing charges: we're talking to our legal team and keeping our options open. 

“Love y'all.”
