Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Monday that she was only being sarcastic when she said that, if she and Steve Bannon had organized the Jan. 6 protest at the Capitol “we would’ve been armed” and “we would have won,” a remark that was condemned by the White House as “violent” and a “slap in the face” of law enforcement.

Greene said in a statement on Dec. 12 that her comments were meant in jest and were “making fun of Joe Biden and the Democrats, who have continuously made me a political target since January 6th.”
