Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Ex-Husband, Perry Greene, Apologizes For Harassing Muslim Women Praying While In A Tesla Cybertruck
The ex-husband of controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia), Perry Greene, has made a public apology after he attacked women with a slew of anti-Islamic insults.
Perry filed for divorce from the congresswoman after reports of multiple affairs on her part.
On March 31 in Alpharetta, Georgia, Perry subjected three Muslim women to a stream of insults while they were praying in a mall parking lot.
The three women in question, who have chosen to remain anonymous to protect their safety, took video evidence of Perry’s rant, which quickly went viral across the media. The footage shows Perry driving up to the women in a Tesla Cybertruck and demanding, “Where are you from? Where all y’all from?” Before he declares that they were worshipping a “false god,” saying, “Y’all wanna do all kinds of crazy s—.” Perry proceeded to follow the women as they walked towards the mall in an effort to get away from him.
One of the women shared, “It did feel very long in the moment. Like, it just wouldn’t stop…attack after attack, insult after insult. All of it was just out of pure hatred of us, which I don’t understand.”
Perry apologized for the scandal four days later, on April 4, outside the women’s place of worship in Johns Creek, Georgia.
He said at a press conference, “I came today just to meet with the young ladies that I was mean to and treated disrespectfully about their religion and about what they were doing…I just wanted them to know that I humbly apologize to them because no one should be treated that way, and that’s not the right way for us to treat anybody…Hopefully, they will find it in their hearts to forgive me.”
Perry will not face any charges, as the Alpharetta police declare that he did not technically commit a crime.
A police official said in a statement, “The comments made in the video circulating on the internet are disgusting and do not reflect the diversity and understanding that Alpharetta values.”
The statement continued, “However, in our community, all speech is protected – even the speech we may not agree with. After thoroughly watching the video, we have determined no crime was committed. And while we do not condone activity like this, absent any new information coming forward, our investigation is closed, and no criminal charges will be made.”
Perry’s own apology seemingly contests the police’s conclusion, as he asserted in his statement, “We shouldn’t allow that in our society.”
One of the women told KBTX 3 that Perry’s harassment only encouraged them to practice their religion. “This is our identity, this is our faith. No matter what anybody says to us, no matter what bigot wants to tell us that we have a false God, we will be firm on our feet, regardless of what anybody has said about us.”
