MTG 'splains how she and Bannon would have organized the J6 attack...

“I want to tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, we would’ve been armed,” Greene told a group of New York Republicans over the weekend," said the New York Post.

The comments come after a lawsuit protesting Greene's candidacy citing a provision in the U.S. Constitution that bans officials of Congress who attempted an insurrection from ever serving in office.

"The evidence in this matter is insufficient to establish that Rep. Greene ... 'engaged in insurrection or rebellion' under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution," Judge Charles Beaudrot wrote in his May 2022 ruling. "Therefore, the Court holds that Respondent is qualified to be a candidate for Representative for Georgia's 14th Congressional District."

16. It's not just MTG -- Lauren Boebert is part of the problem, too...

From Wikipedia:

(Early in her entry to Congress), January 5, Boebert refused a bag check after she set off the newly installed Capitol Hill metal detectors, and entered the Capitol. She did the same on January 6, refusing to stop for a wand check after she set off the metal detector. Boebert called the metal detectors "just another political stunt by Speaker Pelosi".[135][136]

A New York Times profile of Boebert characterized her actions as "a made-for-Twitter moment that delighted the far right." The article said that although she had only been in Congress for a few days, she had "already arranged several episodes that showcased her brand of far-right defiance as a conspiracy theorist" and that she "represents an incoming faction of the party for whom breaking the rules—and gaining notoriety for doing it—is exactly the point."[116]

Democrats, fearing the guns might do harm while in Congress chambers and partly in response to Boebert's conspicuous carry of a firearm, proposed legislation, which is being considered in Congress as of February 2022, to ban guns from Capitol grounds altogether.[137]

Boebert had a rough childhood, it seems (FYI). Again, according to Wikipedia: She was born in Florida. When she was 12 her family settled in Rifle, CO. Her family depended on welfare as she was growing up. She dropped out of high school in her senior year to have a baby. She earned a GED in 2021, a month before her first election primary.

is that they can inspire looney tunes to take up arms and do the real killing and maiming on their behalf.

Her irresponsible comments must be condemned by all sides in the harshest possible terms.
