Twitter CEO Elon Musk backed Majorie Taylor Greene and scolded Dem Rep Jamaal Bowman after the two Congressmembers engaged in a shouting match on Capitol Hill.
Greene (R-GA) said she felt “threatened” during an exchange with Bowman (D-NY) saying: “What concerns me about Jamaal Bowman is he has a history of aggression. Not just towards others, but towards me in particular, and I’m very concerned about it.”
Greene ripped Bowman for calling her a “white supremacist” saying: “I take great offense to that. That’s like calling a person of color the N-word, which should never happen.
“Calling me a white supremacist is equal to that, and that is wrong.
“I think there’s a lot of concern about Jamaal Bowman, and I am concerned about it.
“I feel threatened by him. He’s someone people should watch.”
Enter Elon Musk who defended Greene after she was attacked and mocked on Twitter:
“It should not be socially acceptable to call someone an [anything] supremacist, unless there is unequivocal evidence for such a claim
