'Shame on you!' Marjorie Taylor Greene melts down about being called 'insurrectionist'
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) became angry and shouted at reporters on Tuesday over suggestions that Donald Trump and other Republicans were insurrectionists.
Greene spoke at a press conference where Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) introduced a resolution declaring that Trump was not an insurrectionist. The former president has faced ballot challenges based on a 14th Amendment prohibition on insurrectionists serving in the federal government.
"Not one single person has been charged with insurrection," Greene insisted. "Yet Democrats and dishonest people in the media every single day accuse President Trump of waging an insurrection."

"And accuse many of us of waging an insurrection, and you're doing nothing but lying and selling the lies of the Democrats, all for campaigns and elections, shame on every single person that has done that, shame on you!" she exclaimed. "You need to tell the truth. You have the freedom of press, one of the greatest rights in this entire world. And anyone that puts the word insurrectionist calls President Trump an insurrectionist, and calls any of us an insurrectionist is a liar."
According to Greene, the media should also label left-wing protests as insurrections.
"And you do not deserve the power that you possess, shame on you, shame on you!" she continued. "And then when Joe Biden was inaugurated, and this entire Capitol complex was surrounded with 30,000 National Guard troops, none of you stood there and called that an insurrection. No, you all stayed silent."
