Satirical quote attributed to Greene about Congress misconduct

The claim that Marjorie Taylor Greene said ‘Democrats would have a supermajority’ if Congress members had to resign for doing what Matt Gaetz is accused of is false. This claim originated as satire on social media and there are no reliable reports of Greene making such a statement. While Greene has insinuated that other members of Congress have had misconduct covered up, specifically regarding sexual harassment and assault claims, she did not make the specific claim about Democrats gaining a supermajority. The post in question appears to be “stolen satire” from a satirical account, misleading readers to believe it was legitimate news. The allegations against Rep. Matt Gaetz, which led to the House ethics committee conducting an investigation, ultimately resulted in Gaetz resigning from Congress to pursue an appointment and the report not being released. While Greene has been an ally of Gaetz in the House, the fabricated quote attributed to her was not something she actually said or implied in social media or reliable news reports. The post was debunked by fact-checkers from Lead Stories and Snopes, emphasizing the importance of verifying information before sharing it.
