Fact check: What did Marjorie Taylor Green say about transgender people deserving to be beaten into the ground?

Checked on September 17, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The analyses provided do not support the claim that Marjorie Taylor Greene said transgender people deserve to be beaten into the ground [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]. However, they do highlight her history of making anti-transgender comments and actions, including appearing in an anti-transgender rap video, tweeting that teaching children about LGBTQ+ identity is 'child abuse,' and putting up a sign that says 'There are TWO genders: MALE & FEMALE. Trust The Science!' [1] [2] [3]. Additionally, the analyses report on her attempts to block the Equality Act, her statement that 'biological women cannot compete against biological men,' and her introduction of a bill that would ban gender-affirming care for minors [2] [3] [4]. The sources also mention her transphobic remarks against Rep. Marie Newman's transgender daughter and her continued feud with Newman over the Equality Act and LGBTQ+ rights [7] [8].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

A key point missing from the original statement is the context of Marjorie Taylor Greene's actions and comments, which are consistently anti-transgender and often in response to LGBTQ+ advocacy or events [1] [2] [3]. Alternative viewpoints, such as the perspectives of LGBTQ+ individuals and organizations, are not presented in the analyses, which primarily focus on Greene's statements and actions [4] [5] [6]. Furthermore, the sources do not provide a comprehensive overview of the impact of Greene's comments and actions on the LGBTQ+ community, which could offer a more nuanced understanding of the situation [3] [7] [8]. It is also important to consider the potential consequences of spreading misinformation about Greene's statements, which could contribute to further polarization and harm to the LGBTQ+ community [6].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement appears to be misinformed or misleading, as none of the analyses support the claim that Marjorie Taylor Greene said transgender people deserve to be beaten into the ground [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]. This inaccuracy could be intentional or unintentional, but it has the potential to contribute to the spread of misinformation and further polarize the discussion around LGBTQ+ rights [6]. The sources provided do not indicate who benefits from this framing, but it is possible that individuals or groups opposed to LGBTQ+ rights could use such misinformation to further their own agendas [1] [2] [3]. On the other hand, LGBTQ+ advocacy groups may also be impacted by the spread of misinformation, as it could undermine their efforts to promote understanding and acceptance [3] [7] [8].
