Marjorie Taylor Greene’s BS Jan. 6 Claims Get Destroyed In Brutal Fact Check Of Her New Book

According to a new book from controversial Georgia Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is getting her pilloried by reviewers for her fact-free claims that Democrats acted like cowards during the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.

In the book, entitled MTG, Greene writes that House Democrats were “hysterical” during the attack. She adds:

“Several of the Republican congressmen said, ‘We’re going to stay right here and defend the House chamber.’ As they began barricading the door with furniture, I noticed not one Democrat was willing to stay to defend the chamber.”

But as Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) told The Guardian, Greene’s recollection of the events is complete bullshit. Crow says the book is “patently false” and “doesn’t exist in the same reality as the rest of us.”

The Guardian also reports that Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ), concurred with Crow.

In an oral history of January 6 by Business Insider, Raúl Grijalva, of Arizona, said: “You also saw members doing their part to facilitate our evacuation – Seth Moulton [of Massachusetts, a marines veteran], Ruben Gallego, and four or five others … who assumed a role of helping us to get out of there and working with the Capitol police to make sure that we were all safe.”

Gallego, also of Arizona and a former marine, told the same site: “Eventually what I did was I jumped up on a table and started giving instructions to people about how to open up the gas mask. We start seeing the doors being barricaded with furniture. We start hearing the noise of people – the insurrectionists – pounding on doors. Especially in the gallery.”

Greene ridicules some House Democrats for being too old and out of shape to defend themselves or others as rioters began attacking the Capitol and calling for the death of then-Vice President Mike Pence.

“I saw that it was a problem that so many of our representatives were older and physically unable to run. How do you get them to safety when they cannot move quickly because of age, physical ailments, or lack of physical fitness?”

“Oh, and many were hysterical, with the plastic bags over their heads in fear of teargas and the little electric fans running so they couldn’t hear, either. Just imagine Jerry Nadler trying to run for safety!”

Hysterical? Sounds more like how Greene reacts whenever someone dares to criticize her lord and savior, Donald Trump.
