Marjorie Taylor Greene grows hostile in testimony over re-election eligibility [View all]
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 congresswomans district have said Ms. Greene helped facilitate the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection that disrupted certification of President Joe Bidens 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 Georgias 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. Greenes candidacy since he must present his findings to Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who then must determine whether Ms. Greene is qualified.
