1. One of the biggest holes in the lie about J6 being a planned insurrection is that all the people there were unarmed.
Anyone with half a brain knows that gun owners only leave their firearms at home when they don’t feel the need to carry a gun or are obeying the law.

Full thread: “If a group of elected officials, who support the second amendment, actually organized an insurrection with the people who own guns, then they would have brought guns to the so called ‘planned insurrection.’ There was no planning and we ALL denounced the riot. The real issue is that the Capitol was left unprotected by those in charge of protecting it. Denying President Trump’s pre-J6 requests of bringing in the National Guard put everyone in danger. And the bad actors incited the riot. The American people aren’t buying the lies.”
So there are several things wrong with this. The first is that Greene feels the need to say she was not involved in planning the riot. The second is that she seems to want it both ways: Trump wanted the National Guard there but “those in charge” rebuffed him, like Donald wanted to prevent the riot from happening. He didn’t. Third, for months Greene has been saying all sorts of shit about the treatment of the few dozen Capitol rioters being held at a DC jail – that they’re being abused by guards, subjected to Critical Race Theory re-education, treated worse than the war on terror prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, so on and so forth – but now they’re “bad actors” too.
