WATCH: Marjorie Taylor Greene throws tantrum over Constitution's ban on insurgents running for Congress

By Bob Brigham
Published March 26, 2022

Controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) lashed out over a lawsuit challenging her eligibility to run for office following her efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

"A lawsuit filed on behalf of a group of Georgia voters on Thursday seeks to bar Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from running for re-election over her support for rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol last year," MSNBC's Ja'han Jones reported. "The complaint resembles a lawsuit filed against Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) in January, which also cited the 14th Amendment’s language prohibiting people who have 'engaged in insurrection or rebellion' from serving in Congress."

Greene lashed out at the constitutional eligibility requirement.

In any event, she needs to be ejected from the House and not get re-elected.
