Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is being mocked for claiming that while there are “lots” of security cameras protecting the U.S. Capitol you “can’t see” the video of the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.
During an appearance on Right Side Broadcasting, the Q-Anon-aligned Republican claimed that she thought the Capitol could not be breached.
“Third day on the job, the Capitol gets breached, then they blame me and President Trump and many other Republican members of Congress for doing it,” Greene said. “I was so shocked, and I’ll tell you what was so shocking, I thought the Capitol was the most secure building in our country, at least.”
“Thousands of cameras,” the host interjected.
“Well there are lots of cameras, but you can’t see the video footage,” Greene claimed. “I don’t know why you can’t.”
Of course, Greene is wrong. Capitol Police have released hundreds of videos of the insurrection. The U.S. Dept. of Justice, and the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack have also released video and photographic evidence, including images taken by the insurrectionists themselves. There was also video and photographic evidence released by the House impeachment managers during Donald Trump’s second impeachment.

“I thought the Capitol was the most secure building in our country … There are lots of cameras, but you can’t see the video footage. I don’t know why you can’t.”

1. She did not watch the hearings because she would have seen the Capitol video footage. 2. She tried a mock “innocent statement” expression and tone of voice (insincere) when saying she thought the Capitol was the most secure… she was hoping it wasn’t and made sure…

Apparently, you aren't capable of using Google or simply turning on a TV. Can't say I'm surprised at that…Intelligence isn't an MTG skill set!

I'm not surprised she doesn't "know why you can't". There's a lot she doesn't know.
