Marjorie Taylor Greene appears to kick teenage gun control activist

Far-right Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has posted footage to Twitter in which she appears to kick an 18-year-old activist pressing her on gun control outside the Capitol in Washington.

The activist, Marianna Pecora, indicated she could press charges.

The encounter, in which Pecora and others asked about gun control in light of recent mass shootings in the US, happened as the Georgia congresswoman left the Capitol on Thursday. Greene has championed gun rights.

Pecora is deputy communications director for the group Voters of Tomorrow.

Pecora then protests and Greene waves her off.

Greene has initiated other public confrontations, including harassing the gun control campaigner David Hogg, also 18 at the time, and the New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, incidents that achieved online infamy of their own.
