Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA) is calling for a full investigation into whether the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse was an accident.
Green published. “There needs to be a serious investigation into the terrible tragedy at the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland. Is this a deliberate attack or an accident? We are praying for the victims, survivors and families 🙔
A serious investigation has already begun. The Secretary of Transportation, the Coast Guard, federal law enforcement and transportation security officers are on the scene.
If, with a serious investigation, Rep. Green proposed a Republican investigation of the House of Representatives, it would not be possible at all, because the Republicans in the House of Representatives have shown themselves to be frivolous people.

There is no coverage. The cargo ship sent out a distress signal and alerted officials that it was experiencing mechanical problems. A distress signal allowed the bridge to be closed to prevent more people from getting hurt. Terrorists do not let people know in advance so that lives can be saved.
When an accident occurs or a disaster strikes, the nation needs serious people in charge
Rep. Green is not a serious man. Conspiracy theories don't rule, and Greene is venturing into conspiracy theory territory with his post.
In Trump's party, conspiracies pass for governing, and doubting basic facts is another way to undermine trust in government.
