Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Saturday defended her decision to speak at an event organized by alt-right figure Nick Fuentes, claiming she didn't know anything about him or his views when she decided to speak there on Friday.
The GOP lawmaker on Friday night made a surprise appearance at a far-right conference organized by Nick Fuentes, who is known for statements questioning the existence of the Holocaust, criticizing interracial marriage, and praising Jim Crow-era segregation.
"Well, hello canceled Americans," Greene said at the event, called the American First Political Action Conference, according to a video of her remarks.
She told attendees she was "thrilled to be here tonight and I'll tell you why, I think I need to talk to you about who I am, what I see as the future of our country, and the future for all of you."
(This is not the first time she has made an appearance for racist audience.)
