John,
The theme of this Worst Behavior Watch is revisionism. We’ve
seen a lot of Republicans recently try to change their stories or
alter the facts around the January 6th insurrection.
Let’s start with Marjorie Taylor Greene. In a hearing to determine
whether she had engaged in insurrection, she claimed that she
couldn’t recall discussing the events of January 6th with other
members, and that she didn’t remember making claims calling
her colleagues “traitors” or inciting violence against them.
Greene’s testimony was full of smirks, “I don’t recall”s, and
impromptu corrections of statements she was shown making just
seconds earlier on previous videos posted to her social media
accounts. Anyone who was watching could tell she wasn’t taking
the proceedings seriously and was tying herself in knots trying to
justify her past statements.
We can’t let Marjorie Taylor Greene and her growing cadre of
Trumpists take over the House. Rush a $5 donation now to help
stop her >>

Yesterday, CNN reporter Jim Acosta approached Greene outside
the Capitol and asked her to explain her text message to Mark
Meadows in which she brought up “Marshall law.” Greene tried to
simultaneously claim that (1) she didn’t even know if she had sent
that text message, and also that (2) the text message was perfectly
crafted to exculpate her. What?
Then there’s Kevin McCarthy. Leaked audio of Republican
leadership calls prove that McCarthy wanted Trump to resign in the
aftermath of the January 6th insurrection. Not only that, but he said
that some Republican members of Congress were to blame for
helping incite the violence.
But in the 15 months since, McCarthy has abandoned his initial
position and embraced Trumpism, launching attacks at the January 6th
Committee for trying to determine the truth about the insurrection –
something in which McCarthy no longer seems to be interested.
When the Capitol was under attack, both sides were afraid. But now that
the dust has cleared, one side is still trembling, cowering and bending to
Trump’s will, lest the next mob be sent after them personally.
If Kevin McCarthy gets the Speaker’s gavel, he’ll use his power to cover
up the truth and heap praise on Donald Trump. That’s about as
un-American as it gets. Will you make a donation to battle the
revisionism and defend the Democratic majority so we can learn the truth?
