In one text, she told Meadows that other Congress members were telling her that “the only way to save our Republic is for Trump to call Marshall law … They stole this election. The hearing was presented with text messages between Greene and Trump’s White House chief of staff Mark Meadows less than two weeks after January 6.
In April, she was forced to testify about her actions in the run-up to the Capitol insurrection in a court hearing in Georgia in which opponents attempted to bar her from Congress. The congresswoman has a long track record of controversial statements, including racist comments and expressions of support for the far-right conspiracy theory QAnon. Greene’s speech was recorded, and parts of it were posted on Twitter by Patriot Takes, which monitors far-right extremism. Among the attendees were the founders of Vdare, a white nationalist website that opposes immigration. The audience – which included Bannon, Donald Trump Jr, and prominent figures on the far right – met Greene’s incendiary remarks with cheers and whoops of affirmation. She went on: “See that’s the whole joke, isn’t it? They say that whole thing was planned and I’m like, are you kidding me? A bunch of conservatives, second amendment supporters, went in the Capitol without guns, and they think that we organized that? I don’t think so.”
And I will tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Greene, who entered the US House as a newly elected representative from Georgia last year, said: “January 6 happened, and next thing you know, I organized the whole thing, along with Steve Bannon here.
