Fox News has uncovered yet another example of the left’s hypocrisy when it comes to free speech. This time, the White House is attacking Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene for exercising her First Amendment rights.
In a speech to the New York Young Republicans Club gala, Rep. Greene joked about being falsely accused of organizing the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. “Then Jan. 6 happened, and next thing you know, I organized the whole thing, along with Steve Bannon here,” Rep. Greene said. “And I will tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won.” The White House quickly condemned her “violent rhetoric” and called it a “slap in the face” to law enforcement.
But Rep. Greene is not backing down. In an exclusive interview with Fox News, she defended her comments as “sarcasm” and said she will “never allow the White House, Democrats, or the media to continue to accuse me of something I had nothing to do with.
” She also revealed that she has been the target of violent threats and even had arrests made for threats against her life. “Every day, I receive violent threats against my life simply because Democrats and the media have lied and smeared my character for the past two years,” Rep. Greene said.
Despite the left’s attempt to silence her, Rep. Greene remains a strong supporter of the Second Amendment and will continue to defend it. “I will never back down from my support of the Second Amendment,” she said. “And I will never allow the White House, Democrats, or the media to continue to accuse me of something I had nothing to do with.”
It’s clear that the left will stop at nothing to silence conservative voices and undermine the Second Amendment. But Rep. Greene and other passionate Republican voters will not be silenced. We must continue to support our Constitution and the rule of law against the left’s attempts to undermine them.
