Marjorie Taylor Greene grows hostile in testimony over re-election eligibility

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

ATLANTA — U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was hostile during testimony Friday in a hearing on her eligibility to run for re-election, saying she did not remember liking and making various social media posts surrounding the attack on the U.S. Capitol last year and accusing an opposing lawyer of speculating and twisting her words.

Voters in the Georgia congresswoman’s district have said Ms. Greene helped facilitate the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection that disrupted certification of President Joe Biden’s victory, making her ineligible for re-election under a rarely cited section of the 14th Amendment dealing with “insurrection or rebellion.”

But Ms. Greene — who, the day before the Capitol riot, proclaimed on TV that this is “our 1776 moment” — testified that she has never endorsed violence.

Ms. Greene is set to appear on the Republican ballot for Georgia’s May 24 primary and has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump. The administrative law judge overseeing the hearing is not the ultimate decider of Ms. Greene’s candidacy since he must present his findings to Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who then must determine whether Ms. Greene is qualified.

1. Sadly this will likely not succeed.

2. Probably not

But let's just see how it plays out. Does the plain language in the 14th Amendment hold sway, or will the Republicans conjure some bogus "It only applies to the Civil War, even though that section doesn't say that specifically."

3. Except the times she called for killing prominent Democrats.

Excerpt…

In one post, from January 2019, Greene liked a comment that said "a bullet to the head would be quicker" to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In other posts, Greene liked comments about executing FBI agents who, in her eyes, were part of the "deep state" working against Trump.

In one Facebook post from April 2018, Greene wrote conspiratorially about the Iran Deal, one of former President Barack Obama's signature foreign policy achievements. A commenter asked Greene, "Now do we get to hang them ?? Meaning H & O ???," referring to Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Greene replied, "Stage is being set. Players are being put in place. We must be patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges would let them off."

Other than that, not much.
