I don’t think so.” “It goes against our fundamental values as a country for a Member of Congress to wish that the carnage of January 6th had been even worse, and to boast that she would have succeeded in an armed insurrection against the United States government,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement to CNN.

Greene, who entered the US House as a newly elected representative from Georgia last year, said: “January 6 happened, and next thing you know, I organized the whole thing, along with Steve Bannon here.

She became the first member of Congress to testify about her alleged connection to the Capitol riots as part of a lawsuit in Georgia that sought to remove her from the midterm ballot on grounds that she had a hand in the insurrection. Among other evidence, the plaintiffs in the case, which included a coalition of Georgia voters and the government-watchdog nonprofit Free Speech for People, pointed to a Facebook video she posted in the days before January 6 encouraging people to come to Washington as she and other Republican members of Congress prepared to reject the results of the 2020 presidential election. Greene said in her testimony she does not support violence and often claimed she didn’t know or didn’t recall the answers to other questions. Greene said she regularly receives death threats she claims are a result of a smear campaign against her by Democrats and the media. [Marjorie Taylor Greene ‘Doesn’t Recall’ Any Role In Jan.

It's the only one that the Freedom Caucasians really care about—the one they're going to use for all their performance pieces in the House and in all the video they're going to provide to Fox News, One America, and Newsmax. It's the one they're going to use to try and convince the country that the January 6 insurrectionists are political prisoners, a couple hundred Nelson Mandelas in camo and funny hats. How she was allowed to leave the room unencumbered by manacles is a mystery that is going to confound future historians. From The Hill: The real value in following the story is the very clear look we're getting at how the inmates are going to run the asylum, no matter who is putatively in charge.

There was violent rhetoric and disreputable company at a Young Republicans event in New York City. Sadly, this is the absolute state of the new right.

We’re talking about prominent names in the world of politics and journalism. In the courtroom. “America’s Mayor” Rudy Giuliani was at the gala. Once upon a time, talk of fighting in the streets was off limits. This was also the Young Republicans, once the anodyne home of Alex P. In the media. The important thing to realize is that, by definition, this was not a fringe right-wing conclave, it was a mainstream Republican gala that took place in Manhattan—not the Michigan militia trading posts on 4chan.

The House voted to kick Greene off committees in February 2021 as a rebuke for the new congresswoman’s endorsement of conspiracy theories and violence against Democratic politicians. “The side of the officers and the Constitution, or the side of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump?” 6 select committee and a frequent critic of McCarthy, said of McCarthy and House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (N.Y.).

It’s an approach they clearly think will help their party in the elections to come. “I simply think that Kevin McCarthy and the Republican conference need to decide which side of the insurrection they’re on,” Rep. Five Republicans have said or strongly signaled that they will not vote for McCarthy in January, leaving him little room for more defections.

Charting the GOP's drift from "legitimate political discourse" to using Jan. 6, 2021, as a punchline.

But to make the case that it wasn’t worth probing, of course, they had to imply that it wasn’t that big a deal. But also consider the substance of the quip.

After all the violence and chaos of the last week, it is important to remember that we’re still here to deliver a better future for all Americans. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) took the House floor a week later to say President Donald Trump bore “responsibility” — and even that he should be censured. The resolution invited those who believed this attack on the seat of government wasn’t that bad, or even that it was justified — that is, a significant portion of the GOP — to go right on believing that. “Of all the days here, last Wednesday was the worst day I’ve ever seen in Congress,” McCarthy said. And it was little mystery why: Republicans had spent the past year downplaying the events of that day and trying to rewrite a story that didn’t reflect particularly well on the party. “Not to mention, it would’ve been armed.” Not to mention, it would’ve been armed.”
