Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is the latest Republican to try and put distance between the GOP, Donald Trump, and the 6 January riot at the US Capitol they inspired.
Asked by CNN’s Jim Acosta about recently released videos showing new angles on the mob attack at the Capitol, Rep Greene was evasive about admitting the crowd was largely Trump supporters, easily identifiable in their MAGA regalia.
“The American taxpayers pay for everything here right,” she said. “They pay for the building. They pay for the cameras. They pay for the staff. They pay my salary. They pay for everything. This is the type of video they deserve to see publicly.”

Sorry, I missed that there was a riot by this decade's standards. By any time prior, wouldn't call it a riot either but your mileage may vary. However, with CNN reporters standing in front of an actual riot including arson and physical assault reporting it as "a mostly peaceful demonstration," there is absolutely zero credibility left for anyone calling what happened in DC a riot, much less insurrection.
