Showing Original Post only (View all)CNN: Marjorie Taylor Greene's new 'endorsement of violence' could land her in front of a grand jury [View all]
Reacting to a video clip of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) boasting that she and former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon would have done a better job leading the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jane 6th, two CNN analysts stated she should be compelled to testify before a grand jury looking into the insurrection.
In a video released over the weekend, a smirking Taylor Greene can be seen telling a laughing crowd, " Then Jan. 6 happened. And next thing you know, I organized the whole thing, along with Steve Bannon here. And I will tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, it wouldve been armed."
See thats the whole joke, isnt it. They say that whole thing was planned and Im like, are you kidding me? A bunch of conservatives, second amendment supporters, went in the Capitol without guns, and they think that we organized that? she then added.
According to CNN's John Avlon, her comments should send up red flags for investigators looking into the lead-up and aftermath of the Capitol riot that forced lawmakers to flee for their lives.
"What this congresswoman is saying is they were insufficiently armed, she was playing to the crowd but what she is saying is without accountability, failed insurrections are just practice," he told the "CNN This Morning" hosts.
I've said for a while her mouth will get her in trouble. I just hope it is sooner than later.

She's one dirty politician. Not the dirtiest, but definitely in the top five.

Sounds to me like she's inviting an arrest... Incitement to riot among other possibilities.
