Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims She Was A Victim Of January 6 Insurrection

On Sunday, Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene engaged in a general election debate against Democratic opponent Marcus Flowers. Greene, who has called Kwanzaa a “fake religion,” made transphobic remarks and used social media to spread misinformation about Covid-19, is running for a second term as Congresswoman.


The Atlanta Press Club’s Loudermilk-Young Debate began with Flowers addressing Greene’s support of the January 6 insurrection and those jailed in pretrial detention after arrests for assaulting police and other violent crimes during the incident.

The moderator, Karyn Greer, tried to move on but Greene insisted on talking. And cue the white women tears:

“You cannot accuse me of insurrection. I was a victim of the January 6 riots as any other member of Congress,” Greene stated. “That was the third day I had on the job, I had nothing to do with what happened there that day, and I will not have you accuse me of that. That is wrong of you to do, you are lying about me and you will not defame my character in that manner.”

And therein lies the MAGA mindset, white victimhood.

I'm a 65-year-old white male, supposedly Trump's prime demographic. I fucking despise the guy.

I've had some good things and bad things in my life. When the bad things happen you try to learn from your mistakes instead of blaming others.

If you are a bomber, and your bomb goes off before you can get away, then the bomber is as much a victim as those people that he killed.

And the courts are in the process of getting to the bottom of it and hopefully prosecuting the orange headed buffoon for encouraging it and committing it.
