Marjorie Taylor Greene appears to kick activist in confrontation

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Thursday posted a video on social media in which she appears to kick a Gen Z activist.

The video, which has now been viewed over a million times, shows activists from group Voters of Tomorrow confronting Greene about gun reform as she's leaving a news conference, The Washington Post reports. At one point, activist Marianna Pecora walks in front of Greene, prompting the lawmaker to seemingly kick at Percora's feet (though neither pair of feet was visible in the video). Pecora then immediately says, "Oh my god," and moves to the side.
