Marjorie Taylor Greene faces criticism after saying a stepmother is 'not a mother'
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is facing criticism after implying stepparents are not parents during a hearing with AFT President Randi Weingarten.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is facing criticism from her Democratic colleagues after telling a stepmother she's "not a mother".
The conversation unfolded as Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, spoke Wednesday before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. She was a witness during a hearing on school closures prompted by the spread of COVID-19.
Greene asked her during the hearing whether she is a mother, and Weingarten replied that she’s a “mother by marriage.”
The Georgia lawmaker called her “not a biological mother” and later told the union leader, “The problem is, people like you need to admit that you’re just a political activist, not a teacher, not a mother and not a medical doctor.”
