Rep. Greene falsely implies Capitol rioters weren’t Trump supporters. House GOP leaders are mostly silent.

February 9, 2021

According to the House’s top-ranking Republican, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) emerged from the imbroglio over her past embrace of conspiracy theories and misinformation regretful and committed to holding herself to the “higher standard” her position demands.

But less than a week after her social media activity prompted House Democrats to strip Greene of her two committee assignments, she took to Twitter on Tuesday morning and spread another false claim, implying that those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 were not supporters of President Donald Trump.
