Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) fired back at the White House after receiving criticism for her comments on the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

“The White House needs to learn how sarcasm works. My comments were making fun of Joe Biden and the Democrats, who have continuously made me a political target since January 6th,” Greene said in a statement.

Greene claims, every day, she receives “violent threats against my life simply because Democrats and the media have lied and smeared my character for the past two years. This includes threats resulting in actual arrests with criminal charges and threats against my home in an attempt to have me killed.”

She claimed the only time Democrats “‘support’ the 2A is when armed Antifa larpers want to defend perverts at drag queen story time or when leftist Hollywood celebs and politicians are protected by armed bodyguards.”

Greene went on to argue rather than “trying to weaponize a sarcastic joke I made, they should be going after people like Yoel Roth who silenced a sitting President and allowed child pornography to run rampant on Twitter.”

Concluding her statement, she added, “I will never back down from my support of the Second Amendment. And I will never allow the White House, Democrats, or the media to continue to accuse me of something I had nothing to do with.”

Greene made the remarks about the riot that the White House took issue with during an event hosted by the New York Young Republican Club on Saturday, as IJR reported.

“I want to tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, we would’ve been armed,” Greene said.

White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates issued a statement on Monday condemning Greene’s remarks.

“It goes against our fundamental values as a country for a Member of Congress to wish that the carnage of January 6th had been even worse, and to boast that she would have succeeded in an armed insurrection against the United States government,” Bates said.

He called the “violent rhetoric” a “slap in the face to the Capitol Police, the DC Metropolitan Police, the National Guard, and the families who lost loved ones as a result of the attack on the Capitol.”

Bates declared “all leaders have a responsibility to condemn these dangerous, abhorrent remarks and stand up for our Constitution and the rule of law.”
