Marjorie Greene Can Run For Re-Election Despite Planning Jan. 6th Insurrection

Read more HERE:

"A judge ruled on Friday that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is qualified for reelection despite a lawsuit arguing that she should be "constitutionally disqualified from congressional office" because of her role in the Jan. 6 riot, AP reports.

Why it matters: Greene, one of the faces of the Republican party and a staunch Trump supporter, was questioned in court about the insurrection. She repeated the unfounded claim that fraud led to Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, AP writes.

But Greene also testified that she did not know about plans to violently disrupt Congress' proceedings as they certified electoral votes.

What they're saying: "This decision betrays the fundamental purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause and gives a pass to political violence as a tool for disrupting and overturning free and fair elections," Free Speech for People, who represented the Georgia voters in the lawsuit, said in a statement."

It would be SHOCKING if any politician was EVER held accountable, responsible for anything. Its Murca after all.

[haruhisuzumiya]

This is gonna look bad on the judge when the Jan 6th committee find out that MTG collaborated with the insurgents

[HostileRespite]

File another lawsuit challenging her ability to hold public office based on her apparent severe memory loss as demonstrated by her answers in court.

[asregdor]

We knew it all along . That judge was beyond biased . After lying on the stand over and over it still meant NOTHING !

[AnthonyMcqueen]

Laws mean NOTHING in this country when your rich.

[susanc]

This was a total waste of time and money!!! I call BS on the judge.

[Smoovepimp]

I think the case needs to be recalled & the judge who oversaw this case needs be reprimanded for allowing this mockery of justice ⚖️ & possibly He/or She needs to be investigated for bribery from either the G.O.P, Trump, FSB, or KGB(Putin) to see if He/or She was threatened or bribed by these organizations.

[danlovek]

How much was that judge paid? No wonder public is not believing the law anymore 🤔😡

[MrDbi]

Must have been a republican judge...she was guilty as sin

[daniellanctot]

Proof (yet again) that the system doesn’t work.

[patrickcope]

The judge should be disbarred and jailed.

[amehayami]

Told ya that will happen. There is no accountability in this country unless you're poor and/ or a minority.

[rolandvarduhn]

America sucks at all levels these days....esp. the justice system.

[leahsodyssey]

Don’t vote for her again. I want MTG out of our government!

[mcgman]

You have to be charged with a crime in a court for the 14th amendment to be relevant. Charging someone in the court of public opinion is called politics, not the law.

[danamansutti]

Bunch of BS! It is not over yet. VOTE HER OUT!!!!

[TheLastLineLive]

Gonna guess that judge was Trump appointed.

[matthews]

Of course nothing happened. And now just like her hero, she will be empowered to do more egregious acts and hate speech.

[jdsharp]

Ok, she can run, but she'll never be able to hide...

[shadowjudge]

I hope Raffensperger denies Marjorie Greene
