Jamie Raskin slams Marjorie Taylor Greene's remarks about 'winning' armed insurrection

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) on Monday criticized Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for boasting over the weekend that she would have "won" an armed insurrection if she'd been the organizer of the January 6 Capitol riots.

Writing on Twitter, Raskin shredded Green for her statement, which he said was inappropriate even if she were really just making a joke about it.

"If you and Bannon organized the violent insurrection against our government on 1/6 you’d be going to jail with everyone else convicted of seditious conspiracy and conspiracy to interfere with a federal proceeding," he wrote. "These are crimes, not stupid laugh lines."

Raskin is a member of the January 6 House Select Committee, which is due to release a report next week that is widely expected to make criminal referrals to the United States Department of Justice regarding potential crimes committed not only by Trump, but also allies such as attorney John Eastman, the author of the infamous "coup memo" that outlined how Vice President Mike Pence could unilaterally reject certified election results.

1. I doubt

That she could organize much if anything.. She probably has someone decide what to eat and what to wear, then help her get dressed.If brains were gun powder she doesn't have enough to blow her nose

6. She doesn't have enough brain power

To blow up a gnat.

2. Raskin is the best!

Can you imagine a REAL debate on the issues, or anything else for that matter, between Raskin and 'three toes'?

3. Looks like that 1/6 report is coming out at the perfect time,

just before everyone gathers for Christmas. It'll be discussed by family and friends who find the results shocking. We won't be shocked by it on DU, but it will be a big surprise to a lot of people. I predict RW relatives won't have much to say at gatherings this year.

7. Oh, they'll still have something to say

Something as stupid as it is dishonest. The rw thug media will make sure to give them something new to scream over.

They're consistent that way.

Wonder if they'll recycle the war on xmas again...?

4. Marjorie Taylor Green is done, finished, rejected and is now "total history."

She is another one who thinks she can say anything and get away with it. She will learn the lesson the hard way.

The "Puke Party" will find a way to get rid of her. This statement over the weekend is beyond .."Stupid."
When you say something like this, it takes the powers that be, time to organize and get rid of you. But that will
happen in my opinion. As Raskin said, "These are crimes, not stupid laugh lines."

...Green hasn't got a clue. But she will learn about the phrase, "You need to keep your F**king Mouth Shut."
...Much too late for Green to learn, but maybe some other "Puke Congressperson" will learn about that phrase.......

Note: I said..."Maybe" .....

5. Why doesn't Kevin McCarthy tell her to STFU? Why don't any of them?

They're all afraid of her because she'll tweet anything. She'll say anything in front of a camera and a microphone.

She's just a loose cannon, and she'll probably say the wrong thing and bring them all down.
