Capitol Insurrection Congress January 6 WTF?!

MT Greene Says If She’d Organized Jan. 6 The Rioters Would Have Been ‘Armed’ – ‘We Would Have Won’

If the Justice Department is looking for someone to bring in for questioning about the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, they don’t need to look any further than Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who told a group of New York Republicans on Saturday that she would have made sure the rioters were “armed” and the domestic terrorists “would have won.”

Speaking to the New York Young Republican Club, Mediaite reports, Greene sounded like she might be ready to help stage another attack on the nation’s Capitol building.

Her speech largely consisted of blasting the Biden administration, calling the government “corrupt,” and re-affirming her opposition to supporting Ukraine’s defense against Russia. Her remarks eventually arrived at the subject of January 6th, where she scoffed at the past accusations that she gave Capitol tours to Donald Trump’s supporters before they wound up laying siege to the building.

“Then Jan. 6 happened. And next thing you know, I organized the whole thing, along with Steve Bannon,” Greene said. “I will tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, it would’ve been armed.”

In the past, Greene has said she stands allied with those who tried to overturn the government on Jan. 6, bragging that “I am one of those people. That’s exactly who I am.”

She later tried to walk back those comments, but considering what she said Saturday, is there any doubt that Greene feels a deep kinship with domestic terrorists and right-wing militias who are still plotting to overtake the country by force?

Dear Attorney General Garland: Please send Marjorie Taylor Greene a subpoena to testify before the grand jury looking into Jan. 6. It sounds like she has information that might be of great interest and that might also incriminate her and others in the Republican Party.
