Greene later apologized and said toxic policies were very bad for the country.
“I would like to humbly say that I regret participating in toxic politics. It’s very bad for our country and it’s been something that I’ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated; we, I’m solely responsible for myself and my own words and actions, and I’m committed and I’ve been working hard on that lately to get the knives down on politics,” he said.

Bash pointed out specific examples, such as “Facebook post removed from 2020, Holding a gun next to the Squad, encouraging people to attack socialists, liking a tweet from someone calling for the execution of Nancy Pelosi and former President Obama.”
“I raised this issue in 2021, and of course I never want to harm anyone or cause anything bad, so it was addressed then as well. And I stand by my words. I said it then and I stand by my words today. I think America needs to come together and end all the toxic, dangerous rhetoric and division. And I’m leading that way by my example. And I hope President Trump can do the same,” Greene said.
