QAnon Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Monday fumed after a Rolling Stone report linked her to the planning of the January 6th "Stop the Steal" rally in Washington, D.C that preceded the Capitol riot.

In an interview with the Daily Caller, Greene railed against Rolling Stone for not naming their sources, even though using anonymous sources is a common practice in journalism.

"They're talking about their sources and sources and quoting sources, but not giving names, so that just reminds me of the whole Russian collusion lie, and the type of language that Adam Schiff uses when he's talking about sources," Greene fumed. "The whole thing is their same playbook. Make up a story, publish it, then all the other outlets rinse and repeat."

Although the report claimed Greene was involved in planning the demonstration ahead of the riot, it did not claim that she knew of or advocated for pro-Trump demonstrators planning to violently storm the Capitol building.

1. Oh well

It's part of being in the public eye. Bad press is better than no press . . . unless you are hiding something.

2. emptyG...

[msongs]

3. Make up a story, publish it.. that's the entire repub right wing fascist nazi method nt

[NewJeffCT]

4. Since she idolizes Trump

how about we just tell her that "many people" were telling that to Rolling Stone.

5. It's a good day when Margie is having

a big mad about anything at all.

6. Rec for "emptyG"

10. Me too!

7. They are not anonymous sources.They are just not named the reporter and the editor know who they are

They always get away with saying anonymous sources like somebody called in on the phone assumed name or something. they have no idea how journalism works. Probably because good journalism has been so scarce lately

Brilliant

9. Were you there or not?

If you weren't you would have said. You went to meetings in the Willard. Admission by omission.

You can claim you weren't planning a Coup, but what were you planning? The rally?

Marjorie, please.

12. There was a post on DU that showed the 1/5 videos of a person who may be linked to planting

the bombs...and that person shares MTG's walking gait / arm swinging that was quite striking. Would not shock me if she was not only a planner, but an actual participant.

16. If that is true, I sure hope she gets nailed for it.

I could easily imagine her doing that--very easily. Just please, let her be caught and convicted if that's the case.

[rickyhall]

15. But naming sources often makes them disappear.

[ShazzieB]

17. Exactly!

People who don't understand why sources aren't always named don't understand journalism. Period.

[OAITW r.2.0]

18. When your only argument is intimidation, that's the way you have to roll.

Doubt she even realizes the irony of her comment.

[DemUnleashed]

19. What...

What is she complaining about anonymous sources for?? Her hero, TFG, talks about anonymous sources all the time! As an example, anonymous sources say Obama was not born in the US!

20. Well Marge what is Qanon?

You follow and believe that anonymous conspiracy bullshit.
