ep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Sunday claimed she’s one of the victims of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol carried out by supporters of Donald Trump attempting to overturn the election results.
But on Sunday, she took offense when Democratic challenger Marcus Flowers accused her of “participation” in the events of Jan. 6.
“You cannot accuse me of insurrection,” she said. “I was a victim of the January 6 riot just as much as any other member of Congress, that was the third day I had on the job, I had nothing to do with what happened there that day, and I will not have you accuse me of that.
