Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) appeared to defend the leader of the Proud Boys militia group after the Justice Department (DOJ) announced it is seeking a 33-year sentence for his role in planning the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Enrique Tarrio was found guilty of seditious conspiracy in May, the most serious charge brought against anyone related to the riots. A 33-year sentence is the longest requested and would be the longest handed down in the Capitol riot cases, if accepted by a judge.
“You know who the Justice Department is not seeking 33 years in prison for?” Greene said on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday. “Antifa/BLM violent rioters who burned, looted, destroyed $2 billion in property in George Floyd riots. And Hunter Biden and Joe Biden for taking criminal bribes selling political influence and favors.”
A little OT: why is it that you have 435 representatives and we always hear about like five of them for the last couple of years?
That’s what American politics have become. Be as loud and obnoxious as you possible can while spewing the stupidest and/or most divisive one-liners you can muster and everyone’s all over it.
They are the loudest.
If you stay quiet, nobody notices for years that you’ve been taking bribes.
See: Clarence Thomas, who rarely speaks up in court.
There’s a reason one of her nicknames is “screamy”
