Marjorie Taylor Greene is not afraid of heated battles while walking outside the Capitol. Before she was even elected into Congress, she got into David Hogg’s face – when he was a kid, having not even graduated from high school – about his stance on gun issues. Despite the fact that we firmly believe that if you’re old enough to have been shot at, you’re old enough to have an opinion on it, Hogg was still a kid at the time. Marjorie didn’t care that she was supposed to be the adult. (Exchange below.)

Today, Jim Acosta, a CNN journalist who one would presume would have the right to ask questions of Members of Congress and that Member of Congress would understand that right (in other words, two adults walking outside the Capitol) had an encounter. Acosta wanted to know about how it was that Marjorie Taylor Greene came to believe that on January 17th of 2021, after all legal processes had been exercised, a declaration of martial law was a possibility.

Clearly, Marjorie didn’t want to talk about it. Indeed, Marjorie acted much the way she did when she was in court, trying to duck and weave her way out of having to answer for herself. This time, however, instead of saying that she didn’t recall anything, she fell back on saying that “she didn’t know” – which was in the tweet. Acosta’s point, quite reasonably was, why would you even bring it up? Everyone knows a bit about what martial law entails, it would require Trump to order the military to police the streets will the ultimate goal of not allowing Biden to be president.

Let’s remember what Greene said to Mark Meadows via text, shall we?

“In our private chat with only Members, several are saying the only way to save our Republic is for Trump to call for Marshall law. I don’t know on those things. I just wanted you to tell him. They stole this election. We all know. They will destroy our country next. Please tell him to declassify as much as possible so we can go after Biden and anyone else!”

How can a person say “I don’t know” about it?

And of course, this was not her first time in a heated exchange outside the Capitol, only this time it was with an adult:

The harassment that @davidhogg111 and I received in the aftermath of the shooting was so severe that I have more PTSD from the harassment and conspiracy theorists that we’ve had to deal with with than I do going through the actual shooting. pic.twitter.com/RIAAAzJEIw
