The secretary of state then has to request a hearing before an administrative law judge. Once he submits findings, Raffensperger will be tasked with deciding the eligibility of Greene, a Trump loyalist, as he faces a tough primary challenge from a Trump-endorsed candidate. But Ron Fein, a lawyer for the voters who filed the challenge, said Greene took an oath and then broke it by engaging in an insurrection. Bopp said that Greene was engaging in protected political speech. The challenge to Greene’s eligibility to run for reelection was filed by five voters who live in her district, and the procedure for such a challenge is outlined in Georgia law. The group filed similar challenges on behalf of voters in Arizona, where a judge on Friday ruled to keep three Republicans on the ballot, and in North Carolina against Republican U.S. Rep. Madison Cawthorn, who spoke at the rally that preceded the riot. At the time of the riot, Greene was in a dark hallway at the Capitol urging people via social media to be safe and remain calm, he said. “They want to deny the right to vote to the thousands of people living in the 14th District of Georgia by removing Greene from the ballot,” he said. Celli played a clip of an interview Greene did Jan. 5, 2021, in which she said this is “our 1776 moment.” When Celli asked if she was aware some Trump supporters used that reference as a call to violence, Greene said that wasn’t her intention and that she was talking about her plans to object to the certification of electoral votes. When asked about the fact that her Facebook account had, in 2019, “liked” a post calling for Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to be shot in the head, Greene said she had no memory of that and said someone else could have been responsible. Greene has repeatedly denied aiding or engaging in an insurrection and has filed a lawsuit alleging that the law the voters are using to challenge her eligibility is itself unconstitutional. ATLANTA — U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was hostile during testimony Friday in a hearing on her eligibility to run for reelection, saying she did not remember liking and making various social media posts surrounding the attack on the U.S. Capitol last year and accusing an opposing lawyer of using chopped videos and twisting her words.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's four answers, under oath, that invite scrutiny (The Washington Post)

One was early in the hearing, when Greene was asked whether she thought House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was a “traitor to the country.” Greene actually ...

But she declined to rule out the possibility that she had done so personally. In response to that CNN story, her office suggested staffers were to blame for that and similar posts, which formed the basis for Democrats removing Greene from her congressional committees last year. But Trump had promoted the demonstrations repeatedly for more than two weeks, and Greene recorded a video urging people to protest in Washington, suggesting “ a million or more people” might show up. Even if the hearing did add much new evidence on incitement, it’s not totally clear that would meet the 14th Amendment’s requirement. This wasn’t the only time that Greene declined to own up to her past statements. But we finally have something to review, from a congressional leader of the “Stop the Steal” movement. Two organizers of one of the rallies have said they were in touch with all three members (and more) on planning, though Greene’s office issued a firm denial at the time. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is unlikely to be disqualified from the 2022 ballot, and a hearing on that subject Friday probably didn’t change this. It would seem to be the kind of thing you’d easily recall happening or not. Lastly, Greene was asked about a somewhat old issue — but this time under oath. That was, apparently, not memorable.) “Oh wait, no, hold on now,” Greene said.
