Marjorie Taylor Greene didn’t author this X post about incest. This is fake

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has a reputation as a staunch anti-abortion advocate, but claims are wrong that she posted on X that she opposes abortion exceptions for incest because she was the product of such a relationship. 

“I AM AN UNAPOLOGETIC PRO-LIFE CHRISTIAN AND I AM AGAINST ABORTION NO MATTER WHAT,” read what looked like a screenshot of an Oct. 4, 2021, X post from Greene’s @mtgreenee account. “Even if the baby is a product of incest, she is still a precious gift from God! Heck, I know one such example who grew up to be a controversial congresswoman from Georgia.” 

A Threads post sharing this image was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads.)

A spokesperson for Greene told PolitiFact the post is fake.

No such post appears on Greene’s X account. We found no evidence, such as credible news reports, that Greene posted and deleted this from X, either. 

Searching the account for mentions of incest, we found one post from September 2021: “Fewer than 1% of all abortions take place because of rape and incest. With the amazing ultrasound and 3D imaging to see the beautiful growth of a human being in the womb, we are without excuse to continue abortions. The abortion lie must end.” 

The image in the Threads post includes text next to the date that says: “r/totallyrealtweets.” That refers to a Reddit forum dedicated to fake X posts. 

We rate claims this is an authentic X post Pants on Fire!
