Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) is being dragged into a new row set off by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) as Democrats seek to tie the would-be GOP Speaker to the firebrand lawmaker\u2019s remarks that Jan. 6 rioters would have been armed if she had been their organizer.<\/p>\n<p>Greene has emerged as a key conservative ally to McCarthy as he seeks to win a floor vote to become the Speaker of the House when Republicans take over the majority in January.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>That\u2019s linked McCarthy, who in the fall gave Greene a prominent seat at a Pittsburgh event to lay out the policy goals of a new GOP majority, much more closely to one of the most conservative and controversial House allies of former President Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Democrats on Monday wasted no time in tying McCarthy close to Greene after a midterm election that, while delivering a House majority to the GOP, saw the party as a whole underperform as various pro-Trump candidates faltered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMarjorie Taylor Greene just said if she organized January 6 \u2018it would have been armed.\u2019 This is who Kevin McCarthy wants to give power to if he becomes speaker of the House,\u201d the Democratic National Committee wrote on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI simply think that Kevin McCarthy and the Republican conference need to decide which side of the insurrection they\u2019re on,\u201d Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), a member of the House Jan. 6 select committee, told The Hill. \u201cThe side of the officers and the Constitution, or the side of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Greene\u2019s remarks came during a gala on Saturday for the New York Young Republicans Club, where she hit back at claims that she and former Trump adviser Stephen Bannon planned the Jan. 6, 2021, event.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen Jan. 6 h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ens and next thing you know I organized the whole thing, along with Steve Bannon here. And I want to tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, it would\u2019ve been armed,\u201d Greene said.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cSee that\u2019s the whole joke, isn\u2019t it? They say that whole thing was planned and I\u2019m like, are you kidding me? A bunch of conservatives, Second Amendment supporters, went in the Capitol without guns, and they think that we organized that? I don\u2019t think so,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>The congresswoman tried to soften her remarks on Monday, arguing that they were \u201csarcasm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe White House needs to learn how sarcasm works,\u201d Greene said in response to criticism from the White House and others. \u201cMy comments were making fun of Joe Biden and the Democrats, who have continuously made me a political target since January 6.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The controversy comes just weeks before McCarthy will go to the floor to try to pull together a majority vote of those lawmakers present to elect him Speaker.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy has struggled to shore up support among Republicans amid opposition from some conservatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Republicans will likely hold a narrow 222-212 majority at the start of the next Congress. Five Republicans have said or strongly signaled that they will not vote for McCarthy in January, leaving him little room for more defections.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Greene has been a consistent source of support for McCarthy, repeatedly saying in public that Republicans would be making a mistake if they do not support him in the floor vote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Georgia Republican came out in favor of McCarthy even before he won the GOP nomination for the post last month, arguing that any challenge to the California Republican would be a \u201cbad strategy,\u201d citing the razor-thin margin in the House.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That now complicates any effort by McCarthy to criticize or rein in Greene, while allowing Democrats to go on offense in linking the two together. It\u2019s an approach they clearly think will help their party in the elections to come.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThreatening violence against Congress and our democracy itself is unacceptable. After we removed Greene from her committees for violent threats against our colleagues, Kevin McCarthy promised to reward and empower her,\u201d Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) wrote on Twitter Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The House voted to kick Greene off committees in February 2021 as a rebuke for the new congresswoman\u2019s endorsement of conspiracy theories and violence against Democratic politicians. McCarthy has pledged to return those assignments to Greene.<\/p>\n<p>The congresswoman told The New York Times Magazine for a profile published in October that in order for McCarthy to \u201cplease the base,\u201d he would have to give her \u201ca lot of power and a lot of leeway,\u201d warning that if he does not, \u201cthey\u2019re going to be very unhappy about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis support for MTG signals that the GOP welcomes violence,\u201d Beyer added on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates criticized Greene\u2019s comments as \u201ca slap in the face to the Capitol Police, the DC Metropolitan Police, the National Guard, and the families who lost loved ones as a result of the attack on the Capitol.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt goes against our fundamental values as a country for a Member of Congress to wish that the carnage of January 6th had been even worse, and to boast that she would have succeeded in an armed insurrection against the United States government,\u201d he said on Monday morning.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>In a separate tweet, Bates tied the remarks to McCarthy, juxtaposing Greene\u2019s comments with McCarthy\u2019s pledge to award the congresswoman her committee assignments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve known for a long time that Marjorie Taylor Greene is the real power behind the new majority,\u201d Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.) told The Hill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are trying to stay quiet until the leadership vote,\u201d Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), one of two Republicans on the Jan. 6 select committee and a frequent critic of McCarthy, said of McCarthy and House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (N.Y.).\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
