Marjorie Taylor Greene shares post suggesting the Butler assassination attempt on Trump was a hoax

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene shared a social media post from a self-described Trump supporter questioning whether the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania was staged. Greene called the post 'extremely important' and questioned why Trump himself was not leading efforts to find the truth about shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks. The post alleged inconsistencies in Trump's behavior and Secret Service response as supposed evidence of a hoax.
