The husband of outspoken Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., filed for divorce Wednesday after 27 years of marriage, according to the pair’s hometown paper, the Rome News-Tribune.
Perry Greene reportedly said that their union is “irretrievably broken” and filed a motion to seal his filing, which he said contains sensitive information.
Greene has made headlines regularly since taking office in 2021, largely for her sensational attacks on other lawmakers including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who has called her colleague “deeply unwell.”
Bizarre social media claims and videos made before Greene came to power also show Greene engaging in odd behavior such as harassing school shooting survivors she blamed for supporting gun safety legislation.
She had also suggested space lasers owned by a prominent Jewish banking family may have been responsible for wildfires in California. While Greene has since walked back those conspiracy theories, she insisted during a February interview that the 2020 election was rigged, though she confessed, “I don’t know how.”
The 48-year-old conservative said in a statement to the Rome News-Tribune that “marriage is a wonderful thing and I’m a firm believer in it,” adding that she was proud to have raised three children with her husband. Greene’s husband also said in a statement that the congresswoman had been an “amazing mom” to their children.
Greene — who posted video on Facebook seeming to show her shooting hogs from a helicopter — also asked in her statement that “the media respect our privacy at this time.”
“Infowars” host Alex Jones has encouraged Greene to seek the United States presidency.
“It’s not something I don’t consider,” she said in July.
A Connecticut jury met for a third week Thursday to determine how much Jones will pay to families of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, which he said was a hoax.
