Marjorie Taylor Greene called heckler a “disgrace to gay people.” It didn’t turn out as she planned.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was heckled by a gay man while arriving at the Republican presidential debate in Wisconsin yesterday, and she had some choice words for him.

“This guy says ‘be gay and fund abortion,'” she tweeted along with video of her being heckled. The heckler can be seen wearing sunglasses and a T-shirt that reads “be gay fund abortion,” and he’s holding a sign that says the same thing. He can be heard calling her a disgrace, homophobic, and transphobic, among other things. He asked why she hates trans people.

“He’s a disgrace to gay people,” she wrote.

On Twitter, many people thought Greene was not quite the best person to be calling others a disgrace.
