Marjorie Traitor Greene calls on 'patriots' to help prove Jan. 6 conspiracy theory

In a rant posted to X on Monday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) doubled down on her previous demands to release all the security footage from the Capitol during the January 6 attack — this time suggesting it could help "patriots" prove a conspiracy theory that federal agents were planted in the crowd to incite the violence.

"I called for releasing the tapes and stopped doing so when it was explained to me that groups like sedition hunters would use facial recognition software to go after more vulnerable people," wrote Greene.

"After seeing the horrific inhumane treatment of pretrial J6 defendants in the DC jail in 2021 and being one of the few members of congress that is against the persecution of J6’ers, I was afraid the DOJ would unjustly target more people."

However, she continued, those who sympathize with the accused and convicted rioters should turn the tables – and use facial recognition software themselves to unveil government employees she said encouraged the insurrection.

wouldn't they be federal agents of the Trump administration?

And if they were Biden people, why would they be trying to reverse an election they won?

I've long wanted to ask my RWNJ brother-in-law these two questions, since I know he believes this conspiracy theory. But I haven't done it so far, because, wow, he's really, really off the deep end and we try not to set him off when we're with him.

I choose not to cast asparagus on Margie but, I think, no proof on my part, that she sounds guilty. She must know these libtard prosecutors are fucking serious. She must have heard the really good Americans have a really good long game. Huh Girl?
