Marjorie Taylor Greene Tries to Stay on Georgia Ballot Wendell Husebø
27 Apr 2022
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) defended herself Friday against an administrative complaint that alleges she incited a January 6 “insurrection” and therefore should be barred from the ballot.
“I only believe in peaceful demonstration,” Greene said. “I do not support violence.”
In early April, a far-left group, Free Speech For People, filed an administrative complaint with Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Greene then brought suit in Northern District of Georgia to dismiss the complaint, but an Obama-appointed judge ruled Greene’s suit did not belong in federal court.
The administrative complaint claims Greene cannot run for reelection because of her alleged involvement in the January 6 “insurrection,” as the media dubbed the incident. The complaint cites a Civil War-related provision in the U.S. Constitution known as the “Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause.”
“Plaintiff alleges that the provision of the Challenge Statute ‘triggering a government investigation based only upon a Challenger’s belief’ — here, that Plaintiff engaged in an insurrection — violates Plaintiff’s First Amendment right to run for political office,” the court proceeding stated.
