Marjorie Taylor Greene Admits She Was Terrified Of 'Antifa' Rioters On January 6th

Marjorie Taylor Greene has finally admitted that she was scared for her life on January 6th because of the actions of the Capitol Rioters. But she wasn't afraid of anything real - she told Donald Trump, Jr. that she was scared of all of the "Antifa" rioters that were there, even though that is just a figment of her imagination. Her claims fly in the face of both reality and the court cases that have brought these rioters to justice, as Farron Cousins explains.

During a recent interview with Donald Trump Jr. On his triggered podcast, I guess it's called Republican Lawmaker, Marjorie Taylor Greene explained for the first time why she was so terrified for her life. During the Capitol Riot on January 6th, 2021, Marjorie Taylor Green, like so many other members of Congress, was afraid that something horrible was going to happen to her because of those rioters. But before I play you the clip, it's important to keep in mind that Marjorie Taylor Green's not talking about the actual rioters, Marjorie Taylor Greene, was afraid of something that she completely invented in her own brain. So here she is on Donald Trump Jr's podcast, explaining to the world why she's afraid of her own imagination. Take a look.

I was also scared because no one could tell me that those were Trump supporters. I fully believe that they were Antifa, BLM rioters, the same ones that we saw cause over $2 billion in damage in, in American cities across the country the previous year. And, um, I was actually scared and luckily there was another member of Congress, I'm not gonna name 'em right now, let people read it in the book. That that helped me a lot. And I'm also very thankful he was armed that day because I really believe in good guys with guns.

So she was afraid of the Black Lives Matter protestors and the Antifa protestors that, that were part of that crowd. And, and as we all know, they were not part of that crowd. So she was afraid of something that she created in her own brain. She created a scenario like as there's total chaos in the house, she makes up her own scenario and then gets terrified by that scenario, only to later be comforted, as she says by this mystery law man who took her in and told her, shh, everything will be okay. Right Now, what's interesting to me here is that Marjorie Taylor Greene has spent two and a half years telling us that the people arrested for participating in the Capitol Riot are in fact political prisoners, that they're being persecuted for their political beliefs. But here she is now telling us that those Capitol rioters were actually Antifa and Black Lives Matter.

So is she telling us that Antifa and Black Lives Matter folks, they're actually political prisoners. They're the ones being persecuted for their political beliefs. 'cause you see, both of those statements cannot be held, uh, in somebody's head. At the same time, it can't be that this whole thing was staged and that these people are political prisoners. Now, I know a lot of you may be thinking, but Faron, not all of them were Antifa or BLM, you know, those are just the people who instigated it and ran off. And then the Capitol rioters, the Trump supporters, they're the ones who got egged on to do it by these people. Sure, sure. I, I guess that would make sense if we didn't have the social media posts from a lot of these convicted capitol rioters, where they clearly stated they're gonna go to the Capitol and they're gonna cause hell.

So there goes that part of your little conspiracy theory. Again, in the days leading up to January 6th, 2021, I was doing segments on it, warning about it, because the posts were out there in the open. There were news articles talking about the post that these Trump supporters were gonna go to the Capitol and be violent. The FBI had received plenty of warning that these people were gonna go to the Capitol and be violent. That wasn't Antifa, that wasn't Black Lives Matter. That wasn't any liberal or leftist group. That was the Trump people making plans ahead of time to go to the Capitol and do this. That's not a conspiracy theory. That's what actually happened. And it's very well documented. So Marjorie Taylor Greene goes out there, she lies about this. She makes stuff up because she knows how bad it is, what these people did. And she knows that she has to defend them. 'cause hell, I have to imagine a lot of her supporters are currently behind bars.
