Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia recently downplayed the severity of COVID-19's impact on Georgia residents who are young and aren't obese. But Atlanta Journal Constitution reporter Tia Mitchell, this week, reminded the far-right Republican congresswoman that not everyone who is getting really sick with COVID-19 is older or overweight.
In Northwest Georgia, a five-year-old child named Wyatt Gary Gibsonbecame infected with COVID-19 before dying in a Chattanooga, Tennessee hospital on July 16, though these kinds of cases are rare. Miller asked Greene if she feels "any responsibility" for spreading false information about COVID-19, noting that "there are children" and "skinny people" who "have died of the coronavirus." And Greene, dismissive of the question, started laughing and told Mitchell, "Gee, you crack me up. You know what, I think people's responsibility is their own."
I was the reporter who asked this question after listening to Rep. Greene downplay the impact of COVID-19 on young people & those who aren't obese. I asked if she feels any responsibility to people in Georgia to protect them. She said the responsibility is their own.https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1417597370129215489\u00a0\u2026— Tia "Very Calm Sis" Mitchell (@Tia "Very Calm Sis" Mitchell) 1626818538

The people who voted for this _____ got what they deserve. My condolences to the people who got stuck Taylor-Greene because their candidate got fewer votes. I hope those who threw a vote away on her will do better next time.— Sharan Louise Harper (@Sharan Louise Harper) 1626822436
