Marjorie Taylor Greene Says MAGA Would've Won on Jan. 6 if She Organized It
Source: Newsweek via MSN
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, suggested that the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot would have succeeded if she was in charge.
Greene was among the high-profile guests to attend and speak at an event hosted by the New York Young Republican Club in New York City on Saturday evening. Others in attendance included former President Donald Trump's son Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani, and commentator Jack Posobiec.
During her address at the event, Greene touched on the Capitol riot, a subject she has been consistently outspoken on, and said that rioters would have been successful had she and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon been in charge of them, according to the New York Post.
"I want to tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won," the congresswoman said. "Not to mention, we would've been armed."

She'd have been all too proud to have taken down the Constitution, its democratic values, and she would have made sure more people died.... even the VP.

It sure sounds treasonous to me, but apparently she is so clueless, she doesn't realize how incriminating her words are.

She would have taken Congress hostage?

Just think of all the losers who did not ask her for more help.

Are there any MAGA winners who give MTG credit for their win?
