Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga. ) has never been one to hold back, and when a columnist confronted her in the Capitol with a terrible problem about J6ers, Greene actually let her have it.

The flaming but largely peaceful change happened when Greene was asked if January 6 accused who received clemency may be visiting the Capitol for tour or meetings. Greene dismantled the reporter’s rely on the subject with her brand bluntness and no-nonsense strategy.
“Is this all you’re truly talking about? Is the J6ers that have been pardoned? ” Greene shot up, disappointed with the line of questioning. When the writer confirmed, Greene wasted no time pointing out the double normal. “Okay. Are you going to talk about the Biden community that got pardoned? No? ” she pressed, highlighting the striking lack of attention or even moderate interest in President Biden’s activities.

And she’s never bad. Although Biden issued hundreds of works of mercy, including the death words of baby rapists and murderers, and therefore gave proactive pardons to his allies and community, the media turned a blind eye to that to make a stink about J6 political prisoners, many of whom have been held in deplorable conditions without test.
As the exchange heated up, Greene dug in further and called out the pardons of violent criminals under Biden’s watch. “ What about the rapes? Rapists and killers and murderers that Joe Biden pardoned? There are tons of them. Is that a focus at all? ” she asked pointedly. The reporter, predictably, tried to steer the conversation back to January 6, to which Greene dismissed the obsession outright: “Everybody outside of here is sick and f***ing tired of it. I’m serious. And so Joe Biden pardons all these murderers and rapists and disgusting people, and then everybody up here has got their panties in a wad because J6ers got pardoned. ”

Greene did n’t just stop there. She took aim at the media’s hypocrisy, contrasting the treatment of the January 6 defendants with the lack of accountability for leftist rioters. “Go do a story on all the Antifa/BLM people that never served time. Over 95 % of them. Seriously think about that, ” she challenged. “And go do a story on these cities that BLM burned to the ground and they never built back. They raised all that money on ActBlue and they never built those communities back. ”
When the reporter claimed it was a “fair question” given Greene’s outspoken nature, the congresswoman did n’t hold back in her criticism of the media. “You people never gave me a fair shot to begin with. And you — All these assumptions and all these headlines and all these lies, ” she said. “ Why don’t you do a story on what people care about? People care about the border, the economy, energy. They’re sick and tired of the foreign wars. They’re tired of the hypocrisy up here, and they hate the media right now. ”

“I’m so sick of you people and all this crap. I really am, ” she said, wrapping up the exchange with a scathing rebuke of what she sees as the press’s misplaced focus and bias.
