ATLANTA (WANF/Gray News) – The man who was caught on camera verbally harassing a group of Muslim women at a Georgia shopping center has apologized.

The man was identified as Perry Greene, the ex-husband of Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a far-right Republican known for her unwavering support of President Donald Trump.

He apologized at a news conference Friday afternoon.

“I just wanted them to know that I humbly apologize to them because nobody should be treated that way, and that’s not the right way for us to treat anybody with any differences,” Perry Greene said after attending a prayer event with Muslim leaders. “Hopefully they’ll find it in their hearts to forgive me.”

The group of Muslim women said that on Sunday, they put a prayer rug in an empty parking space at the Avalon shopping mall in Alpharetta, Georgia. They were trying to pray before going to the shopping center to enjoy Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan.

That’s when Perry Greene first walked by and threw curse words at them, they said.

Greene then got into his Tesla Cybertruck and continued his tirade, which is when the women started recording. He told them to go back to their country multiple times — even though all the women were born and raised in Georgia — and said they were worshipping a false God.

“It did feel very long in the moment. Like, it just wouldn’t stop. Attack after attack, insult after insult,” one of the women told WANF on Tuesday. “All of it was just out of pure hate and his disgust of us, which I don’t understand.”

In a statement, Alpharetta police called the man’s comments “disgusting” but said he didn’t commit a crime and won’t face charges.

WANF and the Gray D.C. Bureau reached out to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s office for comment, but did not hear back.
