Greene at white nationalist conference

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) speaks to a reporter after a news conference outside U.S. Supreme Court on July 27, 2021 in Washington, DC.

On Friday night, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene attended a white nationalist conference in Orlando, Florida, which she came to her own defense about on Saturday saying she was there to "talk to the audience."

Greene doubled down on her defense, which was part of a statement given in a recorded interview to CBS News correspondent Robert Costa, saying she does not personally know Nick Fuentes, the white nationalist leader who organized the event in question, held on Friday night at the Orlando World Center Marriott.
