Marjorie Taylor Greene faces backlash, claims to be a victim of the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot
On January 6, 2021 a riot and violent attack took place at the United States capitol, followed by a huge mob of Trump supporters. U.S. representative for Georgia’s 14th congressional district, Marjorie Taylor Greene, has come under fire for her appearance on showing her supportment towards former president Donald J. Trump and falsely claiming the 2020 presidential election was rigged, without having any real proof to back her up.
In the past, Marjorie Taylor Greene has shown and has made it clear where she stands. During the time she was running, Greene’s rhetoric beliefs shows her contribution to QAnon and right-wing political violence, denying the reality of how the plane that hit the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001 did happen, and the 2017 Vegas mass shooting, as well as a video that recently resurfaced on the internet of her confronting a survivor of the 2018 Florida Parkland shooting.
Greene is known to be a very controversial individual in the Representative party. Greene is also a huge conspiracy theorist with many thoughts and ideas. Many which include QAnon, a conspiracy theory that consists of a secret cabal of cannabalistic pedophiles who were scheming against former president Donald Trump.
She then tries to hide the fact on what she said in the past in a video she took on November 26, 2017. She wants the public to ignore it like it never happened. It did not age well. She claimed that she has no idea on who Q but somehow is considered a patriot. She proceeds to question “If these things are true, why hasn’t the mainstream media reported it?” Simple. None of it is true and it never was.
Not too long ago, a video of Greene resurfaced the web. She was confronting a man named David Hogg, who is a survivor from the 2018 Parkland shooting, and started harrasing him by asking multiple questions and making him feel uncomfortable. One question which included asking him, “Why aren’t you supporting red flag gun laws that protect our second amendment rights? And why are you using kids as a barrier.”
Trying to make a name for herself, Greene thought it would be a great idea to suggest and mention how the high school massacre was a planned event to try and kill as many kids as possible.
The morning of the United States Capitol riot, the hashtag #FightForTrump began trending in the United States. It was started by no other than Marjorie Taylor Greene, in honor of showing her all her support towards Trump and objecting how she refuses to validate the sham of the electoral votes for president Joe Biden. She “knows” that former president Donald Trump did win the 2020 presidential election, and keeps demanding a recount because president Joe Biden did not actually win and claims that the entire election was rigged.
After the event on January 6, 2021 took place, Greene started to claim how she was a victim that day. The huge angry mob of Trump supporters were attacking her, which led to her confusion and made her question, “If the #Jan6 organizers were Trump supporters, then why did they attack us while we were objecting to electoral college votes for Joe Biden? The attack RUINED our objection that we spent weeks preparing for, which devastated our efforts on behalf of Trump and his voters.”
This makes sense as to why the attackers went for both Greene and Trump. Misspreading information and falsey accusing. Not only does she claim to be a victim, but also mentions how Trump is a victim, simply because of the hate he recieves.
Following the storming of the U.S. Capitol, Greene is now being called for resignation, once again. Democrats have been trying to have her removed from the House for quite a while now. There have been several reports of her stating her unveiled endorsements on both political violence and extremism, and how she makes different assumptions on things that are far from being verifiable.
With everything that has occurred so far this year, not even two months into the new year, Marjorie Taylor Greene has been a standpoint for several events. Greene’s rhetoric beliefs and everything she supports and has supported in the past have caused many problems with other individuals, due to the fact she rubs it in other’s faces and is very immature on how to bring up a certain subject or topic in a proper way. All the backlash Greene has been facing should now seem like a wake up call to do what is right.
