Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Monday sent out over a dozen tweets in support of the Nation of Islam's stance against vaccines.
Greene began her 17-part tweetstorm by explaining that she had recently visited the D.C. Jail to visit people suspected of participating in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
According to Greene, detainees have two choices of religion: "Christain [sic] and Islam."
While she was at the jail, the lawmaker said that she obtained a newspaper distributed by the Nation of Islam, a political and religious organization with a history of anti-Semitism."
Greene argued that anti-vaccine conservatives have "common ground" with the Nation of Islam.
"But I also found out that the Nation of Islam sees the use and benefit of Ivermectin and is very angry that our media, Democrats, and Dr Fauci have attacked the drug and refuse to save people's lives by not promoting it and shunning the use of it," Greene wrote.
"The Nation of Islam is also strongly against the #COVID19 vaccines," she continued. "And the Nation of Islam is very against children being given the #COVID19 vaccines."
Greene added: "Louis Farrakhan says that forcing the vaccine is a 'declaration of war.'"
The Georgia Republican went on to point out that she is "strongly opposed to radical Islam."
"Learning how opposed the Nation of Islam is to the #COVID19 vaccines, & already knowing how many Christians oppose the vaccines, we MUST ensure that Religious Exemptions are allowed for Vaccine Mandates," she insisted. "All vaccine mandates must end & children shouldn't be vaxxed."
Greene ended her Twitter rant by pointing out that the Jan. 6 defendants were not in possession of the Nation of Islam materials.
"Most of them have Bibles and pray and do Bible study daily," she said. "J6 defendants are denied basic needs because they are unvaccinated."
"I'll be on @TuckerCarlson tonight to talk about our federal government's communist style political war against Americans," she revealed. "I'm committed to stopping it."

Children should NOT be taking covid vaccines, as all data shows they are hardly at risk. pic.twitter.com/qdRnwDR9RE

9. Propaganda Media you have a problem.
They call you out!
More common ground.
Read the words from the Minister of Student Ministries for the Nation of Islam.
“Millions of Americans who are rejecting this vaccine. The media creates a false narrative…"

11. I'm a Christian and am wholeheartedly thankful to be one. I'm filled with overflowing praise to God for all the he has done, does, and will do.I'm strongly opposed to radical Islam.
But I do believe in freedom of religion guaranteed to us by our Constitution.

14. I should add the Nation of Islam newspaper was not found in the Patriot Wing with the J6 defendants.Most of them have Bibles and pray and do Bible study daily.
I prayed with them while I was there.
Most of them are also unvaccinated & don't want the vaccine.
