On Monday, CNN's Andrew Kaczynski and Em Steck exposed a key false claim made by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., in Friday's civil hearing on her eligibility to run for re-election — specifically, about her relationship with a man who participated in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
"Speaking at her hearing, Greene called Anthony Aguero, who CNN's KFile previously reported cheered on and justified the Capitol break-in, 'a distant friend,' and someone whom she had not spent much time with," said the report. "Greene said she was unaware Aguero called Greene one of his closest friends."
