Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she was attacked in a restaurant last night while she was working with her staff.
Greene says she was attacked ‘by an insane woman’ whose adult son also screamed at her.
I was attacked in a restaurant tonight by an insane women and screamed at by her adult son.
They had no respect for the restaurant or the staff or the other people dining or people like me who simply have different political views.
They are self righteous, insane, and… https://t.co/cJWLIAKiyp

The full tweet from MTG reads:
I was attacked in a restaurant tonight by an insane women and screamed at by her adult son.
They had no respect for the restaurant or the staff or the other people dining or people like me who simply have different political views.
They are self righteous, insane, and completely out of control.
I was sitting at my table, working with my staff, and never even noticed these people until they turned into demons.
People used to respect others even if they had different views.
But not anymore.
Our country is gone.
NBC News has a little more on what happened via a statement from Greene’s deputy chief of staff:
In a statement to NBC News, Nick Dyer, Greene’s deputy chief of staff, said that staff were working on preparation for committee hearings when the incident occurred.
After a woman finished dinner, she came over to their table and “introduced herself politely at first” before she “started berating” Greene, he said, adding that the woman’s adult son began “screaming expletives at the top of his lungs” and came closer to the table.
“I had to get in between him and the table because I had no clue what he’d do,” Dyer said, adding that the son continued screaming while his mother “continued to berate” Greene.
Dyer said restaurant staff eventually demanded that the woman and her son leave. They “apologized” and moved the staff to a more private table.” Police were not called, according to Dyer.
Dyer did not specify the restaurant where the incident occurred.
It’s a shame when someone like Greene can’t eat their dinner privately with their staff without someone attacking them like this.
We’ve seen this happened to other politicians like Ted Cruz and it’s always disgusting.
