After denying she promoted the January 6 insurrection, Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said she'll vote against a bill intended to combat domestic terrorist groups.
The firebrand Georgia representative said on Twitter Tuesday that she would be voting against the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2022 due to concerns of government overreach. Greene announced her opposition to the bill days after she testified under oath over her alleged role in seeking to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
The legislation is intended to better equip federal law enforcement agencies to address the growing domestic extremism and authorizes domestic terrorism offices in the Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
"We need to ensure those tasked with protecting our communities have the resources necessary to preemptively identify and thwart extremist violence wherever the threat appears, including from racially/ethnically motivated violent extremists and white supremacist groups," Illinois U.S. Representative Brad Schneider, the bill's Democratic sponsor, said in a statement this month.
