ATLANTA — Georgia Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene gave fiery testimony on the witness stand Friday to fight a legal challenge filed by a group of her constituents who want her banned from seeking office over the role she may have played in last year’s attack on the U.S. Capitol.
In a series of testy exchanges, Greene responded to questions posed by an attorney for the challengers saying she didn’t remember her remarks about a rally before the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. She disputed video clips and news articles documenting her statements, dismissing them as manipulated by the “biased” media.
And though she acknowledged she promoted the rally that day supporting Donald Trump’s false claims of election fraud, she said she never encouraged — or participated in — the riot that sought to block the formal vote to certify Joe Biden’s victory.
