Marjorie Taylor Greene Pushes Wild Claim 'Honey Pots' Were Used to Make Jan. 6 Rioters 'Commit Crime

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) made a wild suggestion that “honey pots” may have been used to entrap Jan. 6 participants.

The claim came from the Congresswoman’s Rumble podcast MTG Battleground on Wednesday, where she talked about having viewed portions of the Jan. 6 tapes.

“We have brave FBI whistleblowers and other whistleblowers that are coming forward and informing our committees about this information,” Greene said.

“You see, this should never happen. The federal government should never be weaponized against the people and set up honeypots and traps to draw people in and actually take part in making these people commit crimes and then framing the people to set up a narrative against a president,” Greene added.

So... Yeah... She has no clue what a honeypot is, she really is that stupid. The take away for us to know that no matter how stupid a thing she says... Something stupider will be said by her shortly.

and so is the Little Mermaid. Both of which, BTW, are woke socialists.

I dunno, MTG seems to be getting weirder every day. I think the House voting on the debt deal must have greatly unsettled her.

Imagine being duped by someone you trust into travelling all the way to DC and participating in a riot. Wait, what's this?

The plaintiff's lawyers also played a January 2021 Facebook video in which Greene said, "You can't allow it to just transfer power peacefully like Joe Biden wants and allow him to become our president. Because he did not win this election. It's being stolen."

In the same video, Greene encouraged people to come to Washington as she and other members of Congress prepared to object to the certification of the election results.

“Honeypots” in their defense at trial. I would think that would have been a compelling defense especially if thousands of them all could have used that same defense.

They've gone from "It was all ANTIFA!!" to "they were just tourists" and now to "you MADE us attack the capitol!!!" I gotta admire their pig-headed stubbornness in consistently denying a simple, but inconvenient reality and replacing it with one script after another from The Three Stooges blooper reels.
