Controversial Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia on Friday defended her comments ahead of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol while testifying under oath as part of a challenge to her reelection by voters and a supporting legal group, who are seeking to knock her off the ballot for her role prior to the riot.

Greene's appearance in an Atlanta court Friday made her the first GOP member of Congress to testify publicly about Jan. 6, even as a Democratic-led committee back in Washington, D.C., has spent months investigating the attack.

Greene was in front of an administrative law judge because a handful of voters in her district, represented by a nonprofit called Free Speech For People, say Greene should be disqualified because they allege she encouraged and supported the rioters who stormed the Capitol.

While on the witness stand, the congresswoman reiterated baseless claims about election fraud, and repeatedly said that her charged rhetoric ahead of Jan. 6 referred to challenging the electoral count, not a call for violence.

The left shows you who they are afraid of.

It is called lawfare and is the most favorite weapon in CWII by leftist democrats.

This is what modern day warfare looks like, folks.

She [MTG] points out that 1776 is on the state seal hanging in the courtroom.

Judge laughs.

“While on the witness stand, the congresswoman reiterated baseless claims about election fraud,”

Baseless my ass! 300,000 untraceable ballots in Fulton county alone!

Baseless…

“... a handful of voters in her district, represented by a nonprofit called Free Speech For People, say Greene should be disqualified ...”

Only leftists can’t see the irony in the name of the nonprofit.

One cannot be an insurrectionist when there hasn’t been an insurrection.
Time wasting, mud slinging Democrat trash.

And the judge is a raving leftist per chance?

I don’t agree that we need to find some proxy in Democrat districts to do the same thing.

I prefer the MTG counter sue the people making the charges with defamation. She should seek extreme punitive damages as a cautionary tale for other would be claimants.

And in that process she should seek all documents demonstrating coordination between out of state parties and the plaintiffs formulating the conspiracy to defame MTG. She can then seek a federal private action RICO complaint against the out of state groups coordinating this nonsense.

To me, that is a much more sound remedy than playing “hold my beer” against the lawfare groups.

Good question. Why did the judge allow this nonsense?

Repeatedly and comprehensively dox the people behind this harassment and the nonsense will stop.

Fighting their fraudulent lawsuit could cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars.

That’s money I won’t be able to use to get my message out to the voters in my district. And I’m worried even if I’m successful in stopping their charade, I won’t have enough to ensure victory at the ballot box.

I’m not going to lie – the D.C. Cabal and their minions have got me over a barrel. That’s why I desperately need your help today to ensure I can defend my right to be on the ballot AND then win the November election. Can you chip in $50, $100, or $500 to help me fend off this new attack?

It should worry you how hard they are trying to keep America First Conservatives like me off the ballot. These Leftists know we’re making a difference in Congress, and it frightens them.

Other states have blocked this type of ridiculous lawsuit, but I’m the Left’s number one target, so I have to keep fighting

If January 6th really was an “insurrection” as the Marxist Snowflakes are claiming it was, it is the first patriotic act to take place in America since April 19th, 1775. (Snowflakes, look it up). IMHO.
