Conspiracy theorist and US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is firing back at Donald Trump’s harshest critics.

“We’re tired of being called Nazis and fascists,” Greene, R-Ga., said at Trump’s rally on the Georgia Tech campus in Atlanta. “Those are absolute lies and we’re not going to take it anymore.” Greene suggested that Trump supporters file a class-action lawsuit against the media and others who have circulated such labels about the former president and his supporters in the 2024 election.

When Trump visited the island after the deadly hurricane, he threw rolls of paper towels into a crowd of people. .

“Puerto Ricans deserve better,” Harris says on camera. “As president, I will always fight for you and your families and together we can chart a new path forward,” she adds.

Harris’ campaign says the ad will run on digital platforms in all battleground states, but will specifically target ZIP codes with high concentrations of Latino voters.

“There is a lot of religion out there. That’s nice. That’s pretty good. We like that,” said the former president after applause. The National Faith Advisory Board Summit takes place in Powder Springs, Georgia.

Republicans on Monday asked the US Supreme Court for an emergency order in Pennsylvania that could result in thousands of votes not being counted in this year’s election in the battleground state.
