Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) went after Dr. Anthony Fauci during a weekend political event, vowing to do everything she can to “lock him up” for “crimes against humanity.”

Speaking to a conservative audience in Dallas on Saturday at Turning Point USA’s People Convention, the Georgia lawmaker blamed President Joe Biden, Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Fauci over Covid-19 lockdown measures designed to curb the virus.

Greene then appeared to suggest the U.S. government designed the virus in a lab in Wuhan, China before turning her attention towards Fauci, who during the pandemic served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

After suggesting he committed “crimes against humanity” the pro-MAGA crowd began chanting “lock him up!” with Greene eventually responding, “If I have anything to do with it, we will lock him up.”

GREENE: I was in Washington, D.C., and I’ll never forget when the Biden administration and Nancy Pelosi, as speaker of the House, brought in nearly 30,000 National Guardsmen and turned our Capitol complex into a military base. And you weren’t allowed in there. The American people weren’t allowed in there. And then they proceeded to shut down the country over Covid. They masked schoolchildren. They shut down schools. They closed beaches. They silenced your speech. They kicked you out social media. They attacked the very core of our freedoms, all for a virus that they made in a lab in Wuhan, China. And yes, Doctor Anthony Fauci should be tried for crimes against humanity.

CROWD: Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!

GREENE: Well, I can assure you, if I have anything to do with it, we will lock him up! He belongs in prison!
