BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. (WCIV) — One of the loudest voices in Congress visited the Lowcountry this weekend.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) was the keynote speaker at the Berkeley County Republican Women’s Annual Spring Tea in Nexton Sunday.
Greene wasn’t the only lawmaker in town, with South Carolina Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette also making an appearance in the Lowcountry.
“Honored to be with the strongest MAGA woman in Congress today,” Evette wrote in a post on X.
Addressing the Berkeley County crowd, Greene spoke about her Protect Children’s Innocence Act, which would prohibit gender affirming care for minors and classify charges for doctors found to have conducted gender affirming care as felonies.
The bill, H.R. 1399, was referred to the Subcommittee on Health by the Committee on Ways and Means in December, with Rep. Jeff Duncan (SC-03) and William Timmons (SC-04) listed as Palmetto State cosponsors.
The Congressional Equality Caucus said Greene’s bill would “throw parents and doctors in jail” as House Republicans work to “implement Project 2025’s assault on LGBTQI+ Americans’ rights.”
