Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene suggested the insurrection on the U.S. Capitol would have been successful if she’d been running the show. “I want to tell you something. If Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, we would’ve been armed,” she said of the Jan. 6, 2021, attempt by supporters of then-President Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 election, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center and the New York Post.
In other words, according to the GOP lawmaker, the problem with the insurrectionist rioters was that they weren’t properly organized — or fully armed. The rhetoric was striking, though it wasn’t altogether surprising. Indeed, Greene’s rhetoric related to political violence has been a staple of her young career.
