Greene’s wild claim was based on an incident in North Dakota last month. “An 18-year-old boy was run down by a Democrat driver who confessed to killing the teenager simply because he was a Republican,” she claimed.
Shannon Brandt, 41, was charged last week with murdering 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson in the city of McHenry on Sunday, Sept. 18, after a street dance held at a local bar. Court documents show that Brandt initially fled the scene but subsequently called a 911 operator and claimed that Ellingson was part of a “Republican extremist group,” adding that the teenager was calling on others to come “get” Brandt.
However, investigators who interviewed witnesses say there’s no indication there was a political argument before Brandt allegedly ran over Ellingson, according to local TV station KFYR. North Dakota Highway Patrol Capt. Bryan Niewind told Fox News Digital that there was “no evidence” suggesting that the teenager was part of a “Republican extremist group” or that the incident involved politics.
