The video below was reported in late June. We wanted to highlight an earlier report for one reason. Tomorrow, the investigations into the attempted coup begin. During this video, Jake Tapper asked Marjorie Taylor Greene if she had evidence that the FBI or Antifa helped instigate the riot. She couldn’t answer. Instead, she only said that she didn’t cause or take part in the riot. Given that she’s giving a press conference tomorrow to distract from the beginning of the investigation, we believed it worthy to review why it might be that Marjorie doesn’t want people paying attention to the investigation.

Jim Acosta has been on a tear for the last two months, bravely setting forth reality with clearer language than that which we’re used to. He has especially gone after Fox News and the bullsh*t factory. There has never been a more important time. A part of the country that is dying, MAGA or not.

But simply talking on the television only goes so far. He cannot make people listen (he can have the viewer listen), and he cannot interview the people who need to be confronted with real questions demanding real answers. So, Acosta being Acosta, went out and found someone who needs to be asked something that cannot be dodged and see what is said. To that end, he went after the Congressperson who most easily delivers disinformation, the one that was suspended on Twitter briefly.

He went after Marjorie Taylor Greene and her answers are very interesting:

IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE HEAT…
Acosta: Where’s the proof that the FBI was involved? Where’s the proof that Antifa was involved? Don’t you owe it to people to produce that proof?
Majorie Taylor Greene: I don’t owe it. I didn’t cause the riot. pic.twitter.com/OtGJL8hzy3 01

No one brought up whether or not she caused the riots, the discussion was about whether she needed to prove her statements about the FBI or Antifa, so what an odd reaction to say that she isn’t in need of proof because “I didn’t cause the riots.”

She was caught in a situation where she had no proof, she couldn’t cite any proof, and so she was trapped. But her attempt to get out of the trap could easily mean something more than just denying the original question. She added, “I didn’t cause the riots.”

Now, if someone didn’t play any role whatsoever in the riots, is that person going to add that little clause? Or does that someone sound like they are trying to push back over something that seems to hit a little close to home?

We don’t have proof. We do not have proof that she “caused” the riots. We DO have proof that she helped plan January 6th because she told us. We have posted this over and over again, and we do it because we don’t want it forgotten:

Here's video of Marjorie Taylor Greene at the White House in late Dec 2020 saying she had a "great planning session for our January 6th objection. We aren't going to let this election be stolen by Joe Biden and the Democrats. President Trump won by a landslide." Expel Greene now. pic.twitter.com/oogwe20Z8K

“I didn’t cause the riots.” And yet she says she helped plan them. Who better than to blame someone else.
