Ardently pro-Trump Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said over the weekend that if she and Steve Bannon had organized the January 6 riot at the Capitol, it would have accomplished what they wanted.
“I’ll just tell you something: if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, would have been armed,” Greene told the New York Young Republican Club.
In making the comment, Greene was referencing accusations that she and other congressmen gave “reconnaissance tours” to Jan. 6 protesters in the days preceding the riot.
The White House bashed Greene for the comment, saying they are “against our fundamental values as a country.”
“This violent rhetoric is a slap in the face to the Capitol Police, the DC Metropolitan Police, the National Guard, and the families who lost loved ones as a result of the attack on the Capitol,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said. “All leaders have a responsibility to condemn these dangerous, abhorrent remarks and stand up for our Constitution and the rule of law.”

Instead of making stupid comments, you should have heard her whole speech.
Jersey Jew don’t be so quick to defend her – she’s the one who claimed that Jews have space lasers up in orbit.
She’s right. The accusations that she and some other congressmen were involved in planning and organizing the riot are ridiculous; as she said, if she — or anyone — were going to do something like that she’d make sure the rioters were armed, and they would have achieved their objectives. The fact that they were unarmed and never had any hope of achieving anything is proof that they were not organized by anyone, or at least not by anyone with any sense, and certainly not by her or any other congressman.
5TResident, no she didn’t claim that, or anything like it. Don’t tell lies. Of course there are space lasers in orbit, and some of them are probably owned by Jews, but she didn’t claim that.
