Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is calling for a full investigation into whether the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge was an accident.
Greene published, “There should be a serious investigation into the terrible tragedy on the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland. Was this an intentional attack or an accident? We pray for the victims, survivors and families 🙠”
A serious investigation has already been launched. The Minister of Transport, the Coast Guard, federal law enforcement agencies and transport security personnel are present on site.
If, through a serious investigation, Congressman Greene suggested a House Republican investigation, then that would absolutely not be possible because House Republicans have proven themselves to be unserious people.

There is no coverage. The merchant ship sent a distress signal and alerted officers that it was having mechanical problems. The distress signal allowed the bridge to be closed so that more people would not be injured. Terrorists do not let this be known in advance so that lives can be saved.
When an accident occurs or a catastrophe occurs, the nation needs serious responsible people
Representative Greene is not a serious person. Conspiracy theories don’t rule, and Greene is entering conspiracy theory territory with his post.
In Trump’s party, conspiracies pass for government, and questioning basic facts is another way to undermine trust in government.
