  • The event hosted by Nick Fuentes was attended by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

  • The Anti-Defamation League says that Fuentes is a well-known white supremacist pundit.

  • She said she didn't know anything about him or his views before she showed up.

On Saturday, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defended her decision to speak at an event organized by alt-right figure Nick Fuentes, claiming she didn't know anything about him or his views when she decided to speak there on Friday.

The GOP lawmaker made a surprise appearance at a far-right conference organized by Nick Fuentes, who is known for statements questioning the existence of the Holocaust, and praising Jim Crow-era segregation.

According to a video of her remarks, she said hello to canceled Americans at the American First Political Action Conference.

She told attendees that she was excited to be here and that she needed to talk to them about who she is, what she sees as the future of the country, and the future for all of them.

In a video posted by Robert Costa, she defended her appearance at CPAC.

I have to get to the airport, but I am glad to talk to you about it. I have never heard him speak. I have never watched a video. I don't know what his views are, so I don't align with anything that may be controversial.

She went to the event to address his large following.

She said that she wanted to talk about America First policies and what is important for our country going forward.

She pivoted, saying she rebuked the actions of Russian President Putin in his unprovoked attack on Ukraine and criticized President Joe Biden, calling him weak and blaming the unrest in Ukraine on his leadership.

The reporter asked if she endorsed his views.

The conservative lawmaker said he didn't know what his views were.

The reporter said that he was a white nationalist.

As Insider previously reported, the Anti-Defamation League had deemed him a white supremacist.

Green said on Saturday that he did not endorse those views. I have talked to many different people. I spoke to Democratic union workers this week. I spoke at CPAC. I talked to some of his people.

She said it wasn't an alignment. She said before she left that it was to talk about getting everyone together to save the country.
