Marjorie Taylor Greene will likely remain on the ballot. Many Democrats argued that she should not be on the ballot because she “engaged in insurrection.”
CNN argues that Greene is a “conspiracy theory-peddling” republican who engaged in violent insurrection against the United States government. Georgia State Judge Charles Beaudrot said otherwise and CNN was not happy.
The judge concluded that there was “no persuasive evidence” that Greene had taken direct actions to help the insurrectionists — such as “physical efforts, contribution of personal services or capital, issuance of directives or marching orders, transmissions of intelligence, or even statements of encouragement.” Her militant rhetoric about the election wasn’t enough to link her to the attack.
State Judge Charles Beaudrot said the following in his report which you can find here. “challengers have produced insufficient evidence to show that Rep. Greene ‘engaged’ in that insurrection after she took the oath of office on January 3, 2021.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene has been very outspoken about the chaos of the 2020 election. You remember, the “most safe and secure election in US history” when several key states overhauled their voting systems right before the election. Critics claimed that Greene contributed to the riot by demanding investigations. The prosecutors argued that she “voluntarily aided and engaged in an insurrection to obstruct the peaceful transfer of presidential power.”
Beaudrot’s recommendation is not the end of the story. It only needs Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s signature. While his decision can be appealed by the courts, it is likely the Republican Secretary of State will approve. This is particularly likely because Raffensperger has also been outspoken about stopping voter fraud and securing elections in Georgia following the shady 2020 election.
Luckily, democrats will have to try a little harder next time.
Keep going. Doing a good job.
You go girl!
Hooray for MTG! Show the Dems what losers they are! You go girl!!!!!
That thing in GA is a utter waste of oxygen. She is, like your dear leader, a bloviating moron.
That will trounce the Democrats in 2022 an 2024,because your party has the most braindead politicians I have ever seen in my at least 50+ yr voting.
The Socialist Liberal Left will never stop trying to censor and deny conservatives from succeeding, we need to fight doubly hard to resist their corruption.
First there was no insurrection. Second the incursion at the Crapitol was not a coup or a revolt, it was simply a protest that got out of hand with few bad actors stirring up some bad apples. MTG is true patriot that saw an injustice and a corrupt election that needed to be challenged and that is what she encouraged a challenge to a corrupt election.
The judge ruled correctly in allowing the people to decide if MTG returns to congress not a few democrats who fear her.
NOTHING is more fun then pissing off a liberal! Go Marjorie!
Well then Schumer won’t be able to run either after he stood on the steps of congress and personaly threatened Supreme court justices and the insurrection that has insued
