Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) tore into her fellow Republicans after former President Donald Trump’s guilty verdict, protesting they “would just quote the constitution” while being “marched to the firing squad.”
After Trump was found guilty of all 34 counts in the New York hush money trial on Thursday, self-proclaimed “J6 conspiracy theorist” Julie Kelly wrote, “Republicans stood silent for 3 years as Biden’s DOJ/FBI investigated, raided, charged, prosecuted and incarcerated 1,400+ Trump supporters for Jan 6. They not only tacitly endorsed it but funded it.”
She continued, “Of course this unprecedented conviction of Donald Trump would be the natural result. Today’s verdict is as much an indictment of GOP weakness and cowardice as it is the lawless Marxist tendencies of the Democrats.”
Greene endorsed Kelly’s post, adding, “I agree with every single word here. Republicans have done NOTHING to stop the Democrats from destroying our justice system and our freedoms.”
The congresswoman protested, “Many Republicans would just quote the constitution as they are marched to the firing squad. When good men do nothing, evil prevails.”

All twelve members of the jury unanimously found Trump guilty of falsifying business records to cover up a 2016 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels on Thursday.
Following the verdict, Trump maintained his innocence and claimed, “This was a disgrace, this was a rigged trial… Our whole country is being rigged right now. This is being done by the Biden Administration in order to hurt or wound a political opponent.”
