Greene, a Georgia Republican, warned about what she views as threats to children and conservative values during a discussion on her show MTG Live, which was posted to Rumble on Thursday. During the discussion, the congresswoman explained one reason she worries for children is because some are raised by “fake” parents.
“Children are in the greatest danger in America today because traditional family values are being destroyed—the idea that mom and dad together, not fake mom and fake dad, but the biological mom and biological dad, can raise their children together and do what’s right for their children,” she said.
Many critics took her remarks as a slight against adoptive parents, who step in to raise children whose “biological” parents give them up for adoption.
Her remarks come as abortion-rights are being rolled back in large swaths of the country, with many Republicans pointing to adoption as an alternative for women who would otherwise seek an abortion.
“The adoption pushers call adoptive parents ‘fake.’ It’s all lies from them,” tweeted attorney Janet Johnson.
