Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene testified in an Atlanta court in defense of her comments promoting the January 6th insurrection in the days leading up to the riots as voters have petitioned to remove her from future ballots for reelection. Greene repeatedly said that her violently charged rhetoric was not a call to action for Trump supporters, but rather a call to look into baseless claims of election and voter fraud. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, and Jessica Burbank discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET.

“Controversial Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia on Friday defended her comments ahead of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol while testifying under oath as part of a challenge to her reelection by voters and a supporting legal group, who are seeking to knock her off the ballot for her role prior to the riot.
Greene’s appearance in an Atlanta court Friday made her the first GOP member of Congress to testify publicly about Jan. 6, even as a Democratic-led committee back in Washington, D.C., has spent months investigating the attack.
Greene was in front of an administrative law judge because a handful of voters in her district, represented by a nonprofit called Free Speech For People, say Greene should be disqualified because they allege she encouraged and supported the rioters who stormed the Capitol.
While on the witness stand, the congresswoman reiterated baseless claims about election fraud, and repeatedly said that her charged rhetoric ahead of Jan. 6 referred to challenging the electoral count, not a call for violence.”
