MTG Threatens to Shoot Down Mystery Drones Herself

The lawmaker said she would be joined by all “red-blooded freedom-loving” Americans.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene offered a new solution to deal with the mysterious drones flying over New Jersey. “I’ll shoot the drones down myself along with every other red blooded freedom loving American,” Greene said on Truth Social Tuesday. “I’m going to tell you right now that if they try to tell us all to stay inside, stay home, shelter in place ‘FOR OUR SAFETY’ from the drones, there is no way in hell I will comply with that absolute bulls–t,” she added. Though the Georgia lawmaker is a known conspiracy theorist, the drones spotted flying over New Jersey and other East Coast states have sparked fear and confusion from residents. In response, several government agencies, including the FBI and the DoD, released a statement Tuesday saying that the drones do not pose a risk to the public and “include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars mistakenly reported as drones.”
