Marjorie Taylor Greene's Insurrection Links Bar Her Reelection, Interest Group Says

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING A public interest group is formally seeking to block far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from seeking reelection, arguing her links to the Capitol insurrection make her ineligible to serve in Congress. The complaint, filed Thursday by the nonpartisan advocacy group Free Speech For People, asks the Georgia secretary of state to disqualify the extremist first-term representative from reelection under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist disqualification clause.” Greene has staunchly defended the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and notoriously called fellow supporters of then-President Donald Trump to “our 1776 moment” in an interview the day before, the complaint notes. She “voluntarily aided and engaged in insurrection to obstruct the peaceful transfer of presidential power,” the complaint argues, which makes her “ineligible” to serve in the House of Representatives. The 14th Amendment states that no person may hold political office who has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” or “given aid or comfort” to the nation’s enemies.
