Marjorie Taylor Greene's Whataboutism On January 6

By Frances Langum — May 18, 2021

Joy Ann Reid is right - Marjorie Taylor Greene is the absolute worst.

Representative Greene has been stripped of her committee assignments, but not stripped of her right to blab nonsense on the (mostly empty) floor of the House of Representatives.

This morning she "stood up" to speak out against a commission to investigate the January 6 MAGA insurrection riot. And while whining that the MAGA rioters "are being abused"...

The word is "prosecuted."

...she engaged in full whataboutism concerning Black Lives Matter "riots" from the Summer of 2020.

She's absurd. And she is the true "leader" of the Republican Party.

Did she give "tours" of the Capitol the week prior? Who removed the panic buttons from Ayanna Pressley's office?

A commission might find that out. Oopsie.

These fine, upstanding citizens are being abused? 😳 pic.twitter.com/trCdQVAAr9

Hey, @mtgreenee, that's what happens when you attempt to violently overthrow the government, threaten the lives of U.S. government officials and destroy our democracy. It's called "CONSEQUENCES" of one's behavior. People died. Police officers were attacked and seriously injured.

I have seen the G.O.P.'s future.

And it's more frightening than whatever Marjorie Taylor Greene is afraid of.#GQP #marjorietraitorgreene https://t.co/ayWRpb09ck
