Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, defending herself against an attempt to remove her from the November ballot, declared that she was a “victim” and not a supporter of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Testifying at an administrative hearing where a group of voters is trying to boot her from the ballot for allegedly helping incite an insurrection against the U.S. government, Ms. Greene said she never encouraged violence and objected to accusations that she fueled the unrest.
The Georgia Republican forcefully asserted that she, as a lawmaker at the Capitol, was a victim of the pro-Trump mob.
“I was in the House chamber when it happened. I had to be evacuated to safety. We were held for hours in a secret location protected by Capitol police [and] military members for hours until they cleared the Capitol. Yes, I was a victim of the riot that day,” Mrs. Greene said.
Friday’s hearing proceeded after a federal judge ruled this week that Mrs. Greene failed to persuade her the challenge was unconstitutional and should be thrown out.
Ron Fein, the legal director of Free People for Free Speech which is representing the voters, opened his remarks by comparing Jan. 6 to the Civil War, arguing that Mrs. Greene should be disqualified from running in violation of the 14th amendment.
Under the Civil War-era 14th amendment, an elected official who participates in an insurrection against the government can be barred from running for office.

You aren’t going to use your dictionary are you? Fine. That’s okay.
The left cannot tolerate dissenters running for office or even expressing an opposing viewpoint. Completely totalitarian. It’s their tactics that must be resisted continuously.
Me, too
We can count on one hand who the honest people in DC are.
All three are there for the same reasons - ego trip, headlines, Twitter followers, etc. Nothing else.
Agreed, he just is smarter/wittier.
I agree with you on MTG. She is a reactionary that doesn’t think things through. No one should be surprised when she falls into leftist traps. I do hope she ends up doing more good than harm to restoring America, do think she is a good person.
Would that include taking bribes from our enemies?
In November when the House and Senate are retaken it is up to the citizens of this country to make sure their DAs bring charges against EVERY Democrat elected Representative and Senator in every state to disqualify them from their next re-election attempt. Why? They participated in and encouraged an ‘insurrection’ called the Fraud Election of 2020.
You are endeavoring to make an argument.
Elaborate that argument as you are completely out to lunch arguing mere semantics.
The Chicom Business Partner Cheap Labor Importing Republicans don’t like the Marjorie Taylor-Greene Madison Cawthorn Lauren Boebert Thomas Massie Republicans in the House.
This is war the GOP Establishment wants us hating Vladimir Putin so they can keep kissing Chicom hiney.
There is no innate ‘intelligence’ necessity to know what is right, stand by that and to work for the betterment of one’s own country, frankly. Honesty, hard work, tell-no-lies.
She's charged with supporting an insurrection which, under the terms of the 14th Amendment, makes her ineligible to hold office. But since nobody has been charged with insurrection over January 6th it's hard to know what they're talking about.
A bridge too far, fuzzylogic.
"Yes, I was a victim of the riot that day,” Mrs. Greene said.
Not all attempts to encourage one's political representative, demonstrations, protests or even riots constitute an insurrection.
Have a nice weekend.
Yea, she’s not smart like McConnell, Graham, McCarthy, Blunt and the rest of them.
But this is for you...
And here you are sitting bravely behind your keyboard.
Let me enjoy my lunch while you argue with yourself. Thank you.
And we have a slue of people like DeSantis to choose from, oh wait, no we don't.

Same as you, made up name and all.
I’ve been busy with Q building Jew lasers.
