Marjorie Taylor Greene says she ‘would have won’ Jan. 6 Capitol riot [Video]
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene made an inflammatory comment while delivering a speech at a Young Republican gala on Saturday in New York City.
- Greene told the audience that if she and Steve Bannon had organized the January 6 Capitol attack, “we would have won.”
- “Not to mention, we would’ve been armed,” the congresswoman added.
GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene suggested the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack would have been a success if she and Steve Bannon organized it.
“I want to tell you something. If Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, we would’ve been armed,” the Georgia congresswoman said of the Jan. 6 attack while speaking at a gala for the New York Young Republicans Club.
The guest list of the annual gala included a range of high-profile right-wingers, including Rudy Giuliani and Bannon, both former Trump advisers, and Donald Trump Jr., who reportedly spoke after Greene. Members of the white nationalist website VDARE, right-wing propaganda group Project Veritas and far-right political operative Jack Posobeic were also at the event.
Republican speakers repeatedly voiced anti-democratic and authoritarian ideology, which received loud cheers from audience members, SPLC reported.
Several newly elected Republican lawmakers were reportedly present, including New York’s George Santos, Georgia’s Mike Collins and Florida’s Cory Mills.
Last year, Rolling Stone reported that Greene and other far-right members of Congress participated in planning both Trump’s efforts to overturn his election loss and the Jan. 6 events that turned violent, according to people who organized the pro-Trump rallies in Washington, D.C., that preceded the Capitol attack.
Among her other talking points at the event, Greene also reiterated her opposition to aid for Ukraine, bragging about her refusal to vote in favor of a “single penny.” She also questioned the provision of Secret Service protection to progressive Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The firebrand called on the incoming House GOP majority to support more of her proposals, including a ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youths under 18, which she dubiously equated to “genital mutilation.”
Greene has also been a loud advocate for people jailed over their roles in the deadly attack on the Capitol, referring to them as “political prisoners.” Nearly 900 individuals have been arrested in connection to the breach, including over 275 who were charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement.

It is a crime to merely peacefully protest against a marxist coup that wants to destroy the USA.

I see that this article is written by a democrat rag, US News. Not sure I agree with her comment about being armed at the Jan. 6 event but I really like her outspoken attitude.
