Marjorie Green is claiming ridiculously that no Trump supporter has
ever called for violence, and she's doing it in service of a quest,
a quest to get the perfect sound bite.
Here's the beginning of that.
>> You've written several books on right wing extremism,
including hate in the Homeland, the New Global Far Right.
You're a member of the Southern Poverty Law Center, the SPLC tracking Hate and
Extremism Advisory Committee.
I couldn't find any of your work studying left extremism or Antifa or BLM.
I mean, we all know Antifa and BLM riots are responsible for
$2 billion on damage across American cities in 2020.
And Antifa literally took over Portland and declared their own autonomous zone.
So I'm just wondering, how do you consider your organization peril and
a good source of informing people on what they should believe.
And not believe when you do no study whatsoever into left extremism?
>> She so desperately wants to present herself as an intelligent person, and
she's stumbling even through her attempt to set this woman up for
what she thinks is a trap.
But as you'll see, it is not.
Even if you believe that there was left wing terrorism.
And the idea that they set up an autonomous zone is not the same thing as
them being violent.
It's just not or else you would have pointed out the violence, academic study,
specific things.
They are not obligated to study literally everything.
That said, it gets even worse for Marge from here on out.
Take a look at this.
>> We have experts who do work on environmental extremism.
We have experts who work on Islamist forms of extremism.
But because both under the Trump administration and
the Biden administration, the emphasis has been right now on the greatest,
most lethal threat.
Which has been determined to be far right, meaning white supremacist extremism and
unlawful militias.
>> [CROSSTALK] Well, Dr. Miller, addressed just real quick, I'm out of time, but
would you consider Trump supporters extremists?
>> We are worried about violent extremism, so that to the extent not about what
people believe, but to the extent that they are moving toward violence.
>> Trump supporters specifically.
>> If they're calling for violence, it doesn't matter to me who they support.
>> Haven't seen any, by the way, there's a great rally in Iowa this weekend.
If you wanna study people on the right and what they believe,
you'll find secure borders.
Freedom of speech, gentlemen's.
Time, no crime.
>> So she is smiling as if she got the response she needed to make her point.
But the woman did not say that she has a special focus on Trump supporters.
She did not fall into that incredibly obvious trap.
She's focused on people who are actually making violent threats.
Marge wanted her so bad to say that Trump's porters are uniquely violent, but
that's not the woman is saying, because that's not what her research actually is.
Now, of course, that's not gonna stop Marge,
because she doesn't actually care what the woman is saying.
She probably can't even understand much of what the woman is saying.
And so she just goes on with her point about the Iowa rally.
I wish we had the time, Brett, to fill in all of the many times that Trump
supporters have both been and have threatened violence.
You can google Caesar, sayoc you can look up January 6.
You can look at Marjorie Green's own social media activity in which she has
liked posts calling for Nancy Pelosi to be shot in the head.
There are many examples.
What do you think?
>> January 6 was very clear evidence to support that case.
And in terms of the Iowa rally, everybody should check out this weekend and
the following Monday because Michael Shore is going to the Iowa rally with Asher.
Wish them luck.
Wish them safety.
And every time they go to one of these things,
they come back with stuff that proves Marjorie Taylor Green wrong.
>> I am so excited.
I can't wait to see the video that they produce and
to see if Michael can pull to the extent that David Schuster can.
>> He has.
We've seen it.
Yes.
He's in the Congressional Record.
>> Okay.
I can't wait to see it.
