Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene faced a blunt reminder of her controversies as she stood with Steve Bannon, who began his prison term for defying a congressional subpoena.
A sign reading “Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body” loomed behind Greene as she appeared on Real America’s Voice, referencing a scathing remark made by Rep. Jasmine Crockett during a fiery exchange on the house floor.
Monday marked Bannon’s submission to a four-month prison stint for his role in the January 6th investigation, despite multiple failed appeals to postpone his sentence.
Outside the facility, a modest gathering of supporters, including Greene, assembled as Bannon took the plunge into prison life.
Greene lambasted the justice system’s handling of January 6th defendants.
“There are thousands of people going into jail, they’re in prison, they are spending years in prison. Some of them did nothing wrong, they just walked in the Capitol and walked out,” Greene said.
Amidst Greene’s impassioned discourse, a protester interjected with the offending sign, prompting security to swiftly remove them while Greene continued her rant
Greene also took aim at federal prosecutor Jack Smith, accusing him of partisan overreach in pursuing former President Donald Trump for alleged election meddling.
Meanwhile, Bannon proclaimed, “I am proud to go to prison,” labeling the DOJ under Garland as corrupt.
“Until we stop ‘em, they’re not gonna stop,” Bannon said. “The way you stop em is say ‘Hey if you’re going to send me to prison it’s not going to matter if we take this fight and take it up to the next level, OK?’”
