ama: days after the mass shooting an lbd to q light -- nightclub in colorado. dan: time newsroom. reporter: this isn't the first time they have clashed with each other on twitter. this time seems to be especially bad. despite the homophobic hate, he doesn't plan to stop fighting for what he believes in. marjorie taylor greene calling out california state senator scott wiener in a tweet sent out tuesday. green called weiner a communist groomer. weiner responding to abc7news iphone. >> i get death threats. it's pretty bad. she's an atrocious human being. reporter: the word groomer has homophobic and trans phobic undertones. in recent times, it has regained popularity among proponents of far right conspiracy theories like qanon. >> it used to have a specific meaning but it no longer has that meaning. it is being used now primarily to attack lgbtq people and basically say that we are pedophiles. reporter: she called for the passing of her protect children's innocence act. the bill would make it a felony to perform gender affirming care on a minor. >> unfortunately, what we
