That didn't sit well with Catholic League, who said her comments were "anti-Catholic" and "beyond pale." Greene, however, wasn't backing down, insisting her words were misunderstood. She's also faced backlash over her views on LGBTQ+ rights. Remember when she sold T-shirts mocking mpox outbreak? People were not amused, especially since it was serious public health issue with 58 deaths in U.S. at that time.

We'll have wait and see how chips fall.
