MTG Shills Her New Book On Notorious QAnon Podcast

The Daily Beast reports:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) went on a notorious QAnon-aligned show Wednesday to promote her new book, despite her 2021 claim to have disavowed the loony far-right conspiracy shortly after she was elected to Congress. Greene appeared to be aware of her target audience as she spoke on the X22 Report—a show whose wild conspiracy theorizing has reportedly been linked to an act of real-world violence—telling listeners that her book detailed her visits with jailed Capitol insurrectionists and how she objected to Joe Biden’s Electoral College votes.

Media Matters has the transcript:



I want to hold Nancy Pelosi accountable. She was speaker of the House. I wrote a whole chapter on January 6 in my book, and I tell where I was and everything that happened. And it’s important to understand that Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the House is responsible for the security of the Capitol.

Not the president, not anyone else, but the speaker of the House. And Nancy Pelosi, I believe she caused it that day. I believe she allowed it to happen, and I believe she had a purpose and an intention in doing that.

And that was to stop our objection against Joe Biden’s Electoral College votes that I worked very hard on, along with Matt Gaetz and many others. We were very prepared that day, and I think the Democrats were terrified of it.

And then we’ve got provocateurs, we know. We aren’t sure exactly who they are, whether they’re contractors or federal agents or part of law enforcement. We don’t know.

Maybe they’re a foreign country. Maybe they’re a foreign group. We don’t exactly know, but we are pretty — we are sure they were in there because there’s so much evidence and a lot of fingers are pointing at the FBI. We need subpoena power on that. And so I’ve called on Speaker Johnson to form this committee.
