WASHINGTON, D.C. — Firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) forcefully pushed back at Democratic attacks questioning former President Donald Trump's cognitive fitness.
After voting at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday afternoon, Greene told Raw Story she plans to watch the debate Tuesday night between Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump, but that she wasn't yet sure where. Even so, like millions of Americans, she'll be glued to the television.
“Should be interesting though. I wonder how it’s going to go?” Greene said. “I think it's very important. I think this is potentially what determines the election on November 5th, with a few other factors.”
When asked her thoughts on Democrats trying to flip the script on the GOP and questioning whether Trump has dementia and similar comments, Greene called the attacks "a complete lie."

"It's an absolute lie,” she said. “And I think it's outrageous for them to try to say that after they fully supported Joe Biden who clearly has dementia, and they hid it and they lied about it."
Greene added: "For them to try to say that about Trump, it's obvious to every member of the press that follows him around and he talks to every single day, and anybody at a rally that sees him speak, I mean, this man stands on stage and talks for an hour and a half, and it's — he does not have dementia. As a matter of fact, he's pretty sharp.”
Greene gave a more tempered answer when asked about Trump's remarks that he wants to prosecute voters, election workers and lawyers over the 2020 election.
“I haven't had those conversations with him,” Greene said.
