Now that it’s becoming clear she may be disqualified from the November midterm ballot and also face criminal charges for her part in the January 6 Capitol insurrection, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is lashing out and even going so far as to threaten some female Democrats who just so happen to be black.
During an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show Monday evening, Greene whined about a legal challenge filed which would keep her from holding elected office under a clause found in the 14th Amendment which says no person is allowed to be a member of Congress who “shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
Carlson began the interview with the Georgia Republican by remarking:
“They are just trying to take their opponents off the ballot. They are attacking democracy.”
That was all Greene needed to go off on a rant:
“They look down on them because they voted for me and sent me to Washington to fight for the things that most Americans care about, like secure borders, stopping abortion, protecting our Second Amendment, stopping the out-of-control spending in Washington, stop funding never-ending foreign wars.”
She then proceeded to lay out a vast conspiracy that she claims has been launched against her:
“Now the progressives, the people that donate, the dark money groups, the 501(c)(3)s and the foundations, they have hired some attorneys from New York who hate the people in my district and don’t believe they should have the right to elect who they want to send to Washington, which is me.”
Greene added:
“Now they have filed a lawsuit because they are trying to rip my name off the ballot and steal my district’s ability to re-elect me and send me back to Congress.”
Yes, because you encouraged and supported an insurrection against the U.S. government! That’s a disqualifying act!
But it was what Greene said next that certainly sounds like a direct threat to some top Democrats:
“If you can challenge any representative’s candidacy or an elected officeholder, I bet you we could round up some Republican voters who didn’t like Kamala Harris funding rioters, criminal rioters out of jail or Ilhan Omar or Cori Bush or Maxine Waters inciting riots. I think there is another way to play this game.”
Greene doesn’t deserve to hold office. She gave up that right by being part of a coup attempt. And if he can be proven that she broke any federal laws, she should also be prosecuted and sent to prison.
