The far right-wing firebrand said critics should “learn how sarcasm works” after she was hit with a torrent of criticism for her seemingly dead-serious remarks at a New York Republican fundraiser over the weekend.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Monday she was only joking when she boasted that extremists would have been armed and would have “won” the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol if she had led the attempted insurrection.
Greene, a high-profile apologist for the Jan. 6 attack, showed no signs of being sarcastic or joking when she declared she had no role in organizing the storming of the Capitol by thousands of extremist supporters of former President Donald Trump. “I will tell you something: If Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, it would’ve been armed,”“A bunch of conservative Second Amendment supporters went into the Capitol without guns?” she said. “I don’t think so.”
