U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Sunday admitted to spreading a false report relating to allegations that Vice President Kamala Harris received the debate questions ahead of her face-off with ex-president Donald Trump.
Greene, who has recently reignited her war against House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), over the weekend regurgitated a talking point from right-wing conspiracy theorists about Harris receiving debate questions before the event where she is widely thought to have beaten the former president. Trump himself has pushed this theory, too.
Greene took it a step further, suggesting that a purported "whistleblower" who leaked the claim died in a car accident.

"The ABC whistleblower who claimed Kamala Harris was given debate questions ahead of the debate has died in a car crash according to news reports," Greene posted on social media. In fact, "news reports" did not say that. Instead, Greene linked to a Wordpress blog.
National security attorney Bradley P. Moss replied, "Please seek mental help."
Artist Art Candee said, "You need to be in a psych ward."
In a later post, Greene ultimately admitted the story was false.
"This story appears to be false and I’m glad to hear it," Greene said Sunday. "We need a serious investigation into the whistleblower’s report that Kamala Harris was given debate questions ahead of time from ABC!"
Greene did not delete her original post in which she shared the misinformation.
