ATLANTA — Georgia Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene took the witness stand Friday to push back against a legal challenge filed by a group of her constituents who want her banned from seeking office over her role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
In a series of testy exchanges over the course of several hours, Greene dodged many of the questions posed by an attorney for challengers, sometimes saying she didn’t remember her remarks or interactions in the run-up to the deadly pro-Donald Trump mob.
But she insisted throughout the proceeding that while she promoted the pro-Trump “Stop the Steal” rally, she never encouraged — or participated in — the violent riot that sought to block the formal vote to certify Joe Biden’s victory.
