Well, Marjorie Taylor Greene
is comparing
the death of Ashli Babbitt, one of
the Capitol Hill insurrectionists,
to the murder of George Floyd.
Maybe she makes a good point,
who knows?
Let's hear her argument.
>> Babbitt,
somehow, you two I think would have
been friends.
>> I'm sure we would have.
She seems like she was a very
passionate patriot, and
a very proud Trump supporter,
which I really appreciate that.
And she was also a veteran, so
I'm thankful for
her service to the country.
I've already been speaking about
Ashli Babbitt.
I've also met with her attorneys as
well.
And I think it's very important for
her family to know who killed her.
Because if this country can
demand justice for someone like
George Floyd, then we can certainly
demand justice for Ashli Babbitt.
And everyone deserves to know who
killed her, not just seeing a gun
and a hand on a video clip.
>> And look, I think it's fair
to ask who killed her, right?
>> Mm-hm, totally.
>> I'm sure her family deserves to
know, people deserve to know, so
let me just note that.
And Ashli Babbitt,
I wish that she didn't die.
>> Of course.
>> I wish that she wasn't
brainwashed by the garbage online.
I wish she wasn't radicalized in
the wrong direction.
I wish she didn't storm the Capitol
with the rest of
the insurrectionists that day.
I hate that she lost her life as
a result of what happened that day.
But comparing that to what happened
to George Floyd I would argue is
a bit of a stretch, even though
both cases are incredibly tragic.
Because, well, let's go back to
what happened to George Floyd,
all right?
So on May 25th, Minneapolis police
officers arrested George Floyd,
a 46-year-old black man,
after a convenience store employee
called 911 and told the police that
Floyd had bought cigarettes with
a counterfeit $20 bill.
17 minutes after the first
squad car arrived at the scene,
Floyd was unconscious and pinned
beneath three police officers,
showing no signs of life.
And as you all know, by watching
that awful footage, Derek Chauvin
knelt on George Floyd's neck for
9 minutes and 29 seconds,
prosecutors said.
Correcting the initial
8 minutes and
46 second timing that has become
a symbol of police brutality.
Which is why Derek Chauvin,
by the way, was found guilty
of second degree murder.
Now, in the case of Ashli Babbitt,
the situation is different.
And why do I say it's different?
Well, George Floyd wasn't engaging
in a violent crime.
He wasn't posing an imminent
threat to anyone.
He allegedly used a counterfeit
bill to buy cigarettes.
That's not a violent crime.
We saw what happened in
the nation's capital that day.
In fact, let me remind you of what
they were also chanting as they
were storming the Capitol.
Let's watch.
>> Hang Mike Pence,
hang Mike Pence, hang Mike Pence.
Hang Mike Pence, hang Mike Pence.
>> It's different.
And when Ashli Babbitt was
tragically shot and killed,
it happened as she was trying to
crawl through a broken door window
into the area where members of
Congress were, where they were
trying to certify the election.
>> Yeah, so look, when the right
wing asked for the name of someone
because they were super mad at him,
that's a dangerous situation.
Because they have shown over and
over again propensity to violence.
But I definitely agree with Ana.
We can't have a police officer
shoot someone, and
no one tells who the officer is.
No, that's a government official
who took someone's life, and
you need to have accountability.
And it doesn't matter if it's
Republicans or Democrats who were
shot, obviously, right?
And so they should definitely do it
in as safe a way as possible for
that officer, but
we should know the name, right?
We don't want to do anything
with the name.
And in fact, look, guys, actually,
the other thing is,
of course I agree with Ana.
Ashli Babbitt, it's a tragedy that
she died, right?
It's a tragedy when anyone dies,
and she wasn't the ring leader.
She got wrapped up in this thing,
and thought she was really trying
to save democracy by invading
the Capitol violently and
taking it over.
I don't know what they thought they
were going to do after they took it
over, other than the people who
were chanting, hang Mike Pence.
They definitely knew what they were
going to do, and
that's exactly what the police were
very justifiably concerned about.
And that gets to the point of
the massive difference.
We should not understate the
difference between the George Floyd
case and Ashli Babbitt case.
George Floyd,
counterfeit $20 bills, so
should he have been arrested?
Yes, okay, you can't pay things
with counterfeit money, okay?
Should Ashli Babbitt had
been arrested?
Yes, trespassing, violence, etc.,
right?
No question about it, they both
should have been arrested.
But not only was the George Floyd
crime 20 bucks, but
he was well out of the store.
He was hanging out in his car, and
was not an imminent threat
to anyone.
And then on top of that, they had
him 100% subdued, and everybody is
saying he can't breathe.
And he's clearly passing out, and
he's starting to hallucinate and
talking about his mom.
The guy is going to die, and
he purposely kept a knee on
the neck for over nine minutes
until he was dead.
That is a very
deliberate act to kill someone.
>> Yeah. >> And someone who was no
threat at all, right?
Arresting him makes sense,
killing him made no sense.
In Ashli Babbitt's case, that was
the last security perimeter.
If they had breached that
perimeter, they were
going to get to the legislators.
And they are chanting about hanging
some of the legislators.
And by the way, at that point,
Pence, I think had just left that
area, the one that they were trying
to execute.
And yes, the great irony is
that's Trump's vice president.
They were going to murder the
Republican vice president, right?
>> Yes, yeah.
>> But yes, they were also looking
for Nancy Pelosi, and AOC, and
some of the others, right?
So in a situation like that where
you have a massive crowd that has
already attacked the police,
brutalized some of the police.
And are in the last security
perimeter and
are about to overtake the building.
In fact, you know if that was
a swarm of black people, Muslim
people, they wouldn't have shot at
the very last security perimeter.
They would have taken a Gatling
gun right in the beginning.
The minute they breached any
kind of perimeter, they would
have shot them all, right?
So they had every reservation,
they held back,
held back, until, no,
they're almost at the legislators,
and they took action.
So if you think those two
things are equivalent, you're nuts.
They're not anywhere near
equivalent.
>> And to be quite honest with you,
Marjorie Taylor Greene should take
some responsibility for
the propaganda that she spews and
the actions that she's taken that
encouraged some of what we saw in
our nation's capital that day.
So let me give you a few reminders.
Before Marjorie Taylor Greene was
elected into Congress, she decided
to harass AOC in person.
This was a video that
was released fairly recently.
It's from 2019, again,
before she was elected, and
she goes to the Capitol to
attempt to harass and spy on AOC.
>> You want to talk to
crazy Ocasio,
you come to this little thing.
And you open it up and
you whisper- >> This is confession.
>> [LAUGH] This is confession.
[LAUGH] >> This is Ocasio
confession right here.
>> Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
I'm an American citizen.
I pay your salary through the taxes
that you collect from me through
the IRS, because I'm a taxpaying
citizen of the United States.
I'm a woman,
I'm a female business owner, and
I'm proud to be an American woman.
And I do not support your socialist
policies, and I do not support your
murderous abortion policies.
As a mother of three children,
I'm appalled at New York's law for
abortion, and it needs to end and
it needs to stop now.
You're bringing God's judgment on
our country, and I'm against it,
as well as my friends.
So you need to stop being a baby
and stop locking your door, and
come out and face the American
citizens that you serve.
If you want to be a big girl, you
need to get rid of your diaper and
come out and be able to talk
to the American citizens.
>> And remember, Cori Bush had to
change her office to a different
location because Marjorie Taylor
Greene was harassing her.
Cori Bush moves office after being
berated and
targeted by Marjorie Taylor Greene.
And then one final example for
you guys.
When she went after David Hogg
on the streets after he had just
witnessed his friends get gunned
down in his own school.
Let's watch.
>> David, why are you supporting
the red flag laws?
If Scott Peterson, the resource
officer at Parkland had done his
job, then Nikolas Cruz wouldn't
have killed anybody in your high
school, or at least protected them.
Why are you supporting red
flag gun laws that attack our
Second Amendment rights?
And why are you using kids as
a barrier?
Do you not know how to defend
your stance?
He keeps on walking.
He's got nothing to say.
>> I mean, she just, anyway, look,
having these political discussions
or debates is fine.
It's the way in which she does it,
and it just greenlights harassing
behavior, in the very least.
So the people who stormed
the Capitol that day really thought
they were in the right.
They thought that they were
protecting democracy.
They had been spoon fed over and
over again this notion that
the election was
stolen from Donald Trump, and
they needed to take democracy back.
And Marjorie Taylor Greene was part
of that narrative.
>> Yeah, serious point,
a lot of points.
Serious point is that, look,
would she have been friends with
the person who breached
the security perimeter at
the Capitol after breaking in and
participating in a riot?
Well, you saw it with AOC.
She said,
you're doing a murderous policy and
you're inviting God's judgment.
Why is your door locked, right?
I mean, she might have said it
with a weird Joker-like cackle, but
those are very threatening things.
And then,
why are you trying to take my
Second Amendment rights away?
What are you talking, the guy had
his friends murdered with a gun.
That might have something
to do with it.
So she's a human live troll.
