Georgia Democrats are trying to throw Marjorie Taylor Greene off of the ballot as a result of her actions on 1/6/2021.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican running for reelection, is the latest lawmaker to face a candidacy challenge over her actions before the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
The challenge was filed by the same coalition of constitutional scholars and liberal activists who unsuccessfully tried to block Rep. Madison Cawthorn from the GOP primary ballot in North Carolina.
The new challenge against Greene, which was filed this week with the Georgia secretary of state, could potentially force Greene to testify under oath about the Capitol riot. An official from the secretary of state's office confirmed to CNN that the challenge was filed on Thursday and said an administrative judge will be assigned, according to state law, to "evaluate the merits of the allegations."
In their legal challenge, the groups zeroed in on many of Greene's comments before January 6, 2021. In one video, she explicitly said she opposed the transfer of power from then-President Donald Trump to then-President-elect Joe Biden because Biden "did not win this election" and is "guilty of treason."
"She was involved in either planning the attack on January 6, or alternatively the planning of the pre-attack demonstration and/or march on the Capitol with knowledge that it was substantially likely to lead to the attack, and otherwise voluntarily aided the insurrection," the challengers wrote in a 42-page filing, citing Greene's social media posts and news reports about her alleged meetings with January 6 rally organizers.
A spokesman for Greene previously said that on January 6, 2021, she was solely focused on objecting to Biden's electoral votes on the House floor and "had nothing to do with planning of any protest."
This will fail just like it did in NC.
NC had a more liberal court than GA and it still failed miserably (as was obvious from the start).
They're just grifting at this point.
