In the disturbing video, the rookie congresswoman from Georgia said: "Hey, friends. I've got a question for you.

"How do you get avid gun owners and people that support the Second Amendment to give up their guns and go along with anti-gun legislation?

"Maybe you accomplish that by performing a mass shooting into a crowd that is very likely to be conservative, very likely to vote Republican, very likely to be Trump supporters, very likely to be pro-Second Amendment, very likely to own guns?

"You make them scared, you make them victims, and you change their mindset, and then possibly, you can pass anti-gun legislation.

"Is that what happened in Las Vegas? Is that why a country music festival was targeted?

"Are they trying to terrorize our mindset and change our minds on the Second Amendment?"

She added: "I don't believe Stephen Paddock was a lone wolf. I don't believe that he pulled this off all by himself, and I know most of you don't, either.

"I am really wondering if there a bigger motive there and does it have to do with the Second Amendment?"

Greene, a pro-Trump election fraud conspiracy theorist, was referring to the attack in Las Vegas on October 1, 2017 which killed dozens and injured more than 527 during a music festival.

Shocking footage showed terrified revellers fleeing the country music festival held on the famous strip during the worst mass shooting in US history.

Shooter Stephen Paddock unleashed a deadly hail of bullets from the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay Hotel while the Route 91 Harvest Festival was taking place.

Police found at least 42 firearms in the 64-year-old's hotel room and believed he had been staying there since September 28.

Photos showed two smashed windows in the hotel where the Paddock fired from with his arsenal of automatic weapons.

Paddock, from Mesquite, Nevada, was identified by cops as the shooter.

He was found dead by police as they stormed the hotel room.

In 2019, Greene accused the FBI of lying about the shooting, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

She has since distanced herself from the conspiracy theory and said she was "satisfied with the results of the investigation, and that they did not show a second shooter, accomplice, or even a motive".

The latest video has capped days of angry criticism of the new congresswoman, who is the first member of Congress to openly endorse the QAnon extremist ideology.
