In a video posted to social media months before announcing her congressional candidacy, Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene called on supporters to "flood the Capitol Building" in a protest against "tyrannical" leaders, telling them that Democratic lawmakers "should fear us" and that "we should feel like we will" use violence "if we have to."

"All of us together, when we rise up, we can end all of this. We can end it," Greene said in the 90-minute rant, which was posted in February 2019 and unearthed on Sunday by Twitter user @zedster. "We can do it peacefully. We can. I hope we don't have to do it the other way. I hope not. But we should feel like we will if we have to. Because we are the American people."

Greene, an adherent of the QAnon fantasy movement whose internet posts about conspiracy theories had by that time already attracted a following, posted the video to recruit attendees for a Feb. 23, 2019, "Fund the Wall" march in Washington. At the time, the Southern Poverty Law Center described the event as Greene's "brainchild," citing national support from right-wing militia group American Defence Force. (It also featured members of Cowboys for Trump, including group leader Couy Griffin, who was recently arrested for his role in the Jan. 6 riots.)

In the video, Greene invoked a sprawling battle that pit "Americans" against an "out-of-control, tyrannical, insane" federal government, declaring that the latter's leaders should be "cowering in fear."

1. Hang this around her neck like an albatross. She is just as responsible for the violence

as any of those who actively participated in the attempted coup.

2. Yep, "out-of-control, tyrannical, insane" Federal government is what we had, that is why the voters

threw Trump out.

3. "Batshit crazy" doesn't say the half of it for this gal...

4. History is not going to be kind to her.

She has made her bed and shat in it.

5. Making statements that incite violence like this, will define her always.

And further, she was sure that there would be ..."No Consequences Ever" for making these statements.
And Marjorie Taylor Greene will learn her lesson well.
May she rot in hell.

6. Smoking gun. One among many, I suspect, including the one Trump is holding.
