Oh lord: MTG wants to be on Jan. 6 Commission

https://www.thedailybeast.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-wants-to-be-on-jan-6-commission-after-consistently-downplaying-it

In a bizarre interview with CNN’s Jim Acosta, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Saturday appeared unable to answer basic questions about her claims regarding the Jan. 6 Capitol riots—while simultaneously saying she wants to serve on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s select committee to investigate the attempted insurrection.

That's like Al Capone being seated on the jury at his tax evasion trial.
