Batshit Crazy Marjorie Taylor Greene Tells Steve Bannon Declaration Of Independence Justifies Jan. 6 Attack

The QAnon-supporting lawmaker, Marjorie Taylor Greene, told Steve Bannon on an appearance on the War Room podcast: “If you think about what our Declaration of Independence says, it says to overthrow tyrants,” Greene said in defense of the attack. “There is a clear difference between Jan. 6 and the Marxist, Communist revolution, the Antifa, BLM, Democrat ground troops waged on the American people.

HuffPo: It was unclear what specific event or events involved “Democrat ground troops” and a “Marxist, Communist revolution,” but Greene said they constituted an attack on innocent Americans, whereas the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection was “just a riot at the Capitol.”
Greene and other right-wing figures have adopted conspiracy theories about the nationwide racial justice protests that followed the police killing of George Floyd to attack Democrats and justify right-wing violence.
She also told Bannon that the “lies of Blue Anon” and “the Democrat media” would “do anything to cause someone like me to be killed, or someone like you, Steve, to be killed” because of the “Democrat lies about us and about January 6th.”
“They’re the real problem in this country,” she added.
The lawmaker then claimed this so-called “Blue Anon” was telling lies about Republicans and “innocent people that were at the Capitol on Jan. 6.”
