former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene Tuesday to pay tribute to the rioters who attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Green wrote on At one point, one of them took a hand-painted piece of American flag paper, walked up to the second floor, held it high, and they asked me if I could sing the national anthem with them. Their melodious singing combined their deep sadness with their unwavering patriotic belief, and it was a sound I will never forget.”
She continued:
It’s not even the same recording that you’ve all heard that night, and it’s sold because that night was their darkest hour and day.
Your government can destroy you. It will ruin your life.
America should never have a two-tiered justice system where one group of political protesters are freed while another group is suppressed as an example of never rising up against the government.
Instead, it is your right to hold your government accountable to you, the American people.
Rioters — some of whom threatened the life of then-Vice President Mike Pence and Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi —March on the Capitol at the direction of the President Donald Trumpwho falsely claimed that the 2020 presidential election was rigged.
Greene has embarked on a friendly media tour amid her recent falling out with Trump, promoting the lies that have sent Trump supporters to jail and, as she puts it, busting them.
“Georgia leaders did nothing to stop President Trump’s election from being stolen, and now, they’ve changed nothing, they’ve done nothing. Now look at our two Senate seats in Georgia,” Greene said in a video shared on X five years ago today. “Today, I will fight against a stolen election. We cannot allow this to happen — and I will fight for the people’s votes.”
