Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene posted a series of tweets Tuesday, including an image that's believed to be altered, to question the "dark" history of Robert Crimo, who is suspected of killing six people and injuring at least 38 more in Highland Park, Illinois. Crimo had posted a series of disturbing videos on the internet, and his online profiles were removed following the July 4 shooting. Greene criticized that move, arguing the best way to prevent a mass shooting is to understand the " dark and destructive path " that a suspect takes in life. Greene used the series of tweets to call into question Crimo's mental state and his potential use of drugs . She also posted a photo that showed Crimo holding a Bible in what appeared to be a jail cell. "Is he in jail or rehab or a psychiatric center in this photo? That's not his bedroom," Greene wrote . "22 yrs old and 5'11 and 120 lbs is not normal or healthy. What drugs or psychiatric drugs or both does he use?" … [Read more...] about Marjorie Taylor Greene uses altered photo of Robert Crimo to push theory
