[ [link removed] ]Sign now: Expel Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from Congress!

Dear MoveOn member,

Over the weekend, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene stated that if she and Steve
Bannon had been in charge of the January 6 coup, they would have "won,"
and they would have been armed.^1

Greene's comments, along with the event's host calling for "total war"
against progressives, are a chilling reflection of the MAGA agenda and the
grave threat this movement poses to our country. We originally launched
this petition in 2021 calling for Greene to be expelled from Congress, and
once again, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's rhetoric and harmful comments
prove that she is a threat to our country and freedoms.

Expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from Congress. There is no place in
Congress for her racism, Islamophobia, antisemitism, conspiracy theories,
and attacks against survivors of gun violence.

Greene's comments were purportedly meant to demonstrate that she had no
role in planning the insurrection. But the evidence suggests otherwise.
Greene's constituents sued to keep her off of the 2022 ballot under the
14th Amendment's disqualification from public office of anyone who swore
an oath to the United States before engaging in insurrection against it.^2
While a judge ruled that she could stay on the ballot, he also
acknowledged that her violent rhetoric fed into the event. She also may
have perjured herself during that trial, hiding text messages she'd sent
Trump's chief of staff urging Trump to declare martial law as a means to
hold onto power against the will of voters.^3

In the wake of the violent January 6 insurrection, Greene went so far over
the line espousing QAnon conspiracy theories that House Minority Leader
Kevin McCarthy was forced to make the rare act of removing her from GOP
committee assignments.^4 But now that the GOP is headed to a razor-thin
majority in the House, he's reportedly been kowtowing to Greene to secure
her support for his bid to remain the top House Republican.^5 So, instead
of being punished for her increasingly violent rhetoric, the most powerful
Republicans in Congress are expected to reward her loyalty.

From January 6 to the recent attack on Paul Pelosi and targeted mass
shootings across the country, we've seen how this dangerous rhetoric can
actually inspire violence. But enough is enough. We can't allow
politicians who continue to spread hate to stay in power.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name and demand accountability now!

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's conduct is not just inappropriate for
someone in her position—it puts her colleagues and our politics in danger.
Kevin McCarthy has the power to act. We must demand that Greene and all
other MAGA Republicans be held accountable, and reject the move to
normalize their harmful language.

Thanks for all you do.
