'Resign!' Marjorie Taylor Greene triggered by Mike Johnson’s release of Jan. 6 tapes

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) lashed out at Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) after he agreed to release tapes from the riot of Jan. 6, 2021.

Defenders of those charged on Jan. 6 have long believed that the Capitol tapes would show the incident was a protest instead of a riot.

However, Greene was unmoved by Johnson's gesture.

"You FULLY FUNDED the DOJ that is prosecuting J6 defendants and President Trump!!!" she exclaimed in a post on X (formerly Twitter). You could have defunded these political prosecutions in your omnibus, fired U.S. attorney Matthew Graves, fired Jack Smith, and demanded an end to this."

"You could pass my bill the Matthew Perna Act that would allow J6 defendants to move their trials out of DC where they can NEVER receive a fair trial. By the way, that includes Pres Trump!" Greene added. "Stop lying and pandering to these poor people."

"Resign!"

Johnson said he was fulfilling a promise he made when he became Speaker.

"Before @SpeakerJohnson was chosen in October 2023, January 6th video footage was only available on a limited basis, to be viewed in person in House Office Buildings," the House Oversight Committee said in a statement. "At Speaker Johnson’s direction, and with his dedication to transparency, we have now released more than 20 thousand hours of USCP CCTV footage online for the American public."

Greene has threatened to file a motion to vacate the chair if Johnson refuses to resign.
