Marjorie Taylor Greene got swift rebuke after linking the shooting of Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico to a pandemic-based conspiracy theory.
The Georgia Republican shared an X post that claimed Fico was shot Wednesday in response to his alleged rejection of “the [World Health Organization's] proposed pandemic accord.”
He was shot several times after a cabinet meeting and is in serious but stable condition. His suspected shooter was apprehended.
Greene shared an X post from a user called “Concerned Citizen,” who describes themselves as a “conspiracy realist.”
"Slovakia REJECT The WHO proposed Pandemic Accord ‼️” they wrote, suggesting last week that Fico had made a speech in which he said he would.
"One study after another confirms the scandalous consequences of mass vaccination with experimental untested vaccines,” the account claimed Fico had said.
"Today he has been shot in public!!!! As of yet no motive for the attack has been given..."

It is unknown is Fico actually made this speech, but Greene commented: "This is great and courageous. No wonder they shot him. I pray he makes a full recovery."
Greene has long been a believer in the conspiracy theory that Covid vaccinations are a serious risk to health.
The WHO proposal is for an international agreement to fight against future pandemics to “safeguard our collective future.” Conspiracists in the U.S. have suggested it could threaten constitutional freedoms.
Responses to Greene came in fast. "Sick," said one.
