Marjorie Taylor Greene: “I Was A Victim Of The January 6 Riot Just As Much As Any Other Member Of Congress” – Deadline


“I Was A Victim Of The January 6 Riot Just As Much As Any Other Member Of Congress” – Deadline

During a televised debate on Sunday night, Democratic candidate Marcus Flowers accused Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of people at least partially responsible for the January 6, 2021, fight on the U.S. Capitol, citing as evidence Greene’s false and oft-repeated stance that the 2020 campaign was stolen from former President Donald Trump.

“You cannot accuse me of insurrection. I was a victim of the January 6 riot as any new member of Congress,” Taylor Greene said. “That was the third day I had on the job. I had nothing to do with what been there that day, and I will not have you accuse me of that. That is corrupt of you to do. You are lying about me, and you will not defame my Describe in that manner.”

Flowers then sought to make his display by directly asking Greene a question.

“Did Joe Biden win the [2020] campaign, Congresswoman Greene?”

Greene replied, “Joe Biden is the President of the United Conditions, Marcus.”

“Absolutely,” he responded. “But you pushed a big lie that said he did not win the campaign. And you drove those people over the Capitol on January 6 with your lie.”

Greene attempted to interrupt the challenger, and when he stopped speaking, she continued voicing disproven campaign claims, ending with, “My husband has proof of it.”

You can see the exchange below.

Greene was indeed with the Members of Congress racing through the hallways of the Capitol on January 6 trying to avoid the mob set that was set on confronting elected officials trying to certify the 2020 campaign, according toThe New York Times. However, the paper also points out that on January 5, 2021, Greene labelled the planned gathering the next day on Newsmax as “our 1776 moment.”
