Related: About this forumMarjorie Taylor Greene Panics After Accidentally Admitting She's 'One Of' The Capitol Rioters
During an interview many months ago, Marjorie Taylor Greene talked about how "lonely" she felt during and after the Capitol Riot, and expressed her sympathies towards the individuals that were being arrested. When pressed by the interviewer about sounding like she was one of them, she proudly responded "I AM one of them," and then clumsily tried to walk those comments back. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

This past week, New York Times reporter Robert Draper pointed out that a long time ago, it was after the capital riot. But, but a long time ago, Marjorie Taylor Green actually sat down and did an interview with a British white nationalist reporter by the name of Katie Hopkins, where green accidentally compared herself and said she was one of the capital rioters before, of course, having to very quickly and hastily walk back. That ridiculous comment here is the exchange that took place in that interview from many, many months ago. Um, Marjorie Taylor Green said it was extremely lonely in there watching basically the certification of the electoral college votes for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, even though we know the election was stolen and the Democrats were working so hard on it. But Republicans too, there were Republicans also. So Hopkins said, it's almost as if you're one of them, you're almost like one of those who could have been at the rally, to which Marjorie Taylor Green responded.
I am one of those people. That's exactly who I am. And then I think she had the oh crap moment in her head, and then she said, I, I'm not one of those people that attacked the capital Yesterday. I completely condemned that. I completely condemn attacking law enforcement. I support our police officers, and I thank them for the cur for their courage yesterday in keeping us safe. I, I know there were bad actors involved and investigations are underway and it's Antifa. Um, to date, by the way, there has been no Antifa identified individuals that have been arrested as part of the Capital riot crowd, even though more than a thousand people have been arrested. And they're pretty much all mega freaks. I am one of those people though, Marjorie Taylor Green says I am one of them. Well, I'm not, I'm not like one of them, one of them.
But you know, uh, you, we know what you, me, Listen, when I read this story, the reason I chose to talk about it is because something dawned on me that I had literally never thought about before. I don't know why I hadn't thought of it, but I didn't. Until now, if Marjorie Taylor Green had not been in Congress, had she not been an elected official, she sure would've been one of those people storming the capital. Think about that. Okay? Think about how different her track in life would've been, had those idiots in Georgia, and I'm sorry, but if you voted for her, you're an idiot. Not put her in Congress. She would've been up there in the capital. She'd have been arrested because we've seen the videos of her since before she came to office. She's a nut. She wanted to go and, you know, harass AOC through the little mail
Slot on her door. We've all seen that video, which was long before she was an elected official. Green would've been one of those people. She'd have been one of those extremists. Hell, she may have been hand in hand with zip tie guy. Maybe she would've had on a big horned helmet and taken her turn, you know, playing with the speaker's gavel. Maybe she would've been the one putting her feet up on Nancy Pelosi's desk, stealing her laptop. She would've been there, but instead she was in Congress like she was there. So no matter which way, you know, life could have gone for her. Marjorie Taylor Green was basically destined to be in the capital building on January 6th, 2021. It just so happens that she got to be there as a lawmaker instead of as a potential criminal.

smearing shit on the walls of the Capitol building, because that's totally something she would have done.

Trying to say I'm on your side, you good thing insurrectionists that you are, while trying to avoid the implication she isn't a law-and-order mainstream type of political creature.

From the Loeffler texts, MTG seems pretty involved
