Like every member of Congress, Marjorie Taylor Greene swears an oath to uphold the United States Constitution and she will do so again when the 118th Congress is sworn in on January 3rd.
But her oath will be meaningless. As you probably know by now while addressing Young Republicans in New York City over the weekend, Greene said regarding January 6th, “I want to tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, we would’ve been armed.”
For her part, Greene claimed she was being sarcastic. Well, somehow I doubt New York Young Republican President Gavin Wax was being sarcastic when he declared, “We want to cross the Rubicon. We want total war. We must be prepared to do battle in every arena. In the media. In the courtroom. At the ballot box. And in the streets."
If Marjorie Taylor Greene believes she can overthrow the United States government she is more than welcome to try. But if she does she cannot be a member of Congress. Because you cannot take an oath to uphold the Constitution and then lead an armed mob to terminate it, to borrow a word from defeated, former President Trump.
Marjorie Taylor Greene can uphold the Constitution or lead an insurrection, but she cannot do both.
