Marjorie Taylor Greene Uses Declaration Of Independence To Defend Capitol Rioters

Marjorie Taylor Greene is still trying to defend the Capitol Rioters, and her rationale is becoming less and less coherent. This week, Greene claimed that the rioters were just regular old rioters, but then added that the Declaration of Independence says we should overthrow tyrants. It isn't clear what "tyrants" the rioters were trying to overthrow, especially considering that they were trying to reinstall a tyrant as President. Farron Cousins discusses this latest word salad from Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Republican representative Marjorie Taylor green is back out there once again this week, folks trying to defend the Capitol rioters. I mean, after all those are her people. And so this week she tweeted out as she didn't tweet it out. I'm sorry. She told Steve Bannon during an interview. Let me just read it. January 6th was just a riot at the Capitol. And if you think about what our declaration of independence says, it says to overthrow tyrants. Okay. So now, now here's the thing about your, your little statement right there to Steve Bannon. Um, you went beyond, you went beyond just defending them. Okay. You're not just trying to downplay it. Although you tried by saying he's just a riot at the Capitol, right? I mean, come on. What's a little rioting between friends, right? No, no, no. You went further than that.

You didn't just justify it. You, you, you seem to have endorsed it there. If you think about what our declaration of independence says, it says to overthrow, Tyron's your giving these people permission to overthrow what you perceive to be a tyrant who is a tyrant, by the way, who was the tire in at the time? Because on January 6th, the president of the United States was Donald Trump Biden hadn't even been confirmed yet with the, uh, you know, certification of the electoral process, electoral college process, uh, by both chambers of Congress. So who was the tyrant? They were overthrowing.

The other question is, what the hell does this even mean? Do you truly believe that Joe Biden was not the duly elected president of the United States? Do you believe that it was tyrannical that we held an election in 2020? What exactly are you getting at here, Marjorie? I mean, we already know based on the rolling stone bomb show from earlier this week that you allegedly were coordinating with the organizers of that rally. And if you're trying to build a defense for yourself, you're doing a poor job going out there, justifying defending what these rioters did that day. And of course, trying to downplay, it was just a riot. Just a riot riot in itself is bad. You never want just a riot. I go, how were things say, ah, just a riot. You know, your typical Monday is right. No, this is an insane statement by a woman who clearly does not have the brain capacity and the mental faculties to

Be serving as a duly elected representative for the United States of America. She is a danger. She is a threat and she not only condones what these individuals did that day, hell she downright supports it at this point. That's what I think. That's what this statement means to me. You were okay with them over throwing the government. You, you admit as much in your statement there. That's how I'm reading it. If you look at the declaration of independence, it says it's okayed over through Tyrus. There were no tyrants Marjorie, except for the one that, you know, basically sent those people down to the Capitol. Donald Trump, there's your tyrant, but they weren't there to overthrow him. They were there to overthrow the duly elected president of the United States and prevent the electoral process from being able to finish. That's what they were doing. They were the tyrants, they are the fascists. They are the ones who wanted to install a dictator here in the United States, undoing everything that this country was founded upon. And you Marjorie Taylor green clearly support that.
