NBC News: “The mother of one of the victims of the 2018 Parkland school shooting, said she spoke to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., after the freshman lawmaker was hit with widespread backlash last week for outlandish comments she made on social media, including one suggesting the shooting was a ‘false flag.’ According to Linda Beigel Schulman, whose son, Scott Beigel, was killed in the attack, Greene said does not believe major school shootings from the past decade were either false flags or staged. But, Schulman said, Greene declined to join her to publicly disavow them alongside her on MSNBC.”

‘”It’s wrong, it’s just wrong,’ Schulman said during an interview with ‘Weekends with Alex Witt,’ when asked about her thoughts on Greene’s promoting conspiracies about prominent mass shootings. ‘She should not be telling lies,’ Schulman added. She said a congressman helped connect her with Greene, and they spoke over Zoom on Saturday. ‘When we started our conversation, I was totally upfront and told congresswoman Greene that I was going to be on MSNBC today,’ Schulman said. ‘My first question to congresswoman Greene was do you really believe that Parkland and Sandy Hook were false flags and staged?’ Schulman said. ‘That was a real important question to me. To this moment, I cannot fathom that somebody could say something like that. Her answer was unequivocally no, I do not.’ Schulman said that while she ‘very much wanted to’ trust Greene, she felt she couldn’t. ‘Unless she wants to get in front of the public and wants to right the wrong lies being espoused out there and wants to disavow the things that she said, no, I can’t believe it,’ Schulman said, adding, ‘Maybe inside of her she believes it, I don’t know. I have no idea. I’m not inside of her, but you can, words are very powerful, but actions speak louder than words.'”
