Close ally of Marjorie Taylor Greene among those in Capitol mob
Source: CNN
(CNN)A close ally of Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene took part in the January 6 mob at the Capitol and said he was among those who eventually made their way into the building.
Greene, a freshman congresswoman with a history of promoting dangerous and violent conspiracies and comments, encouraged the big lie that the election was stolen from former President Donald Trump by voting to object to the election certification and fanned the flames of the insurrection by telling her supporters to "fight for Trump."
In tweets after the Capitol insurrection, Greene falsely suggested that those who had broken into the Capitol were not Republicans and instead falsely implied so-called "Antifa" dressed as Trump supporters were to blame.
In fact, Anthony Aguero, a conservative livestreamer, activist and associate of Greene, said on video following the January 6 assault on the Capitol that he had been among those who entered and attacked those who falsely claimed it was done by "Antifa."
"We were all there. It was not Antifa and it was not BLM. It was Trump supporters that did that yesterday. I'm the first to admit it, being one myself," said Aguero in a video posted on January 7.

She makes our government and country look like complete idiots in the eyes of the world.
Investigate her and throw her the fuck out of congress on her ass. Now.
There needs to be zero tolerance for her and those like her.

(6,193 posts)I get the feeling they are insulted to have anyone "dis" their effort by claiming it was antifa or BLM.
I'm all in for them owning up to their attack on the capitol. They can brag about it in prison for all I care, as long as they pay the price for what they did.
The more that are jailed the better.
