Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene(R-Ga.) said if she and Steve Bannon had organized the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, the insurrectionists would have been “armed” and would have succeeded in their attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
“I want to tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, we would’ve been armed,” Greene said during her speech at an event hosted by the New York Young Republican Club in New York City on Saturday evening, according to the New York Post.
“See that’s the whole joke, isn’t it. They say that whole thing was planned and I’m like, are you kidding me? A bunch of conservatives, second amendment supporters, went in the Capitol without guns, and they think that we organized that?” Greene added.
Supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 to stop the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory in the November 2020 presidential election.
Some rioters targeted members of Congress and others were seen on video chanting “hang Mike Pence” after learning that then-Vice President Pence would not intervene to stop the certification of President Biden’s electoral victory.
