GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene testified that she doesn't remember her actions leading up to the Jan. 6 insurrection.
The challengers repeatedly highlighted how Greene had posted messages and videos on social media in the run-up to January 6 that used strident rhetoric. According to the challengers, these posts helped fuel the attack on the Capitol and therefore, she aided the insurrection.
And she said she didn't remember saying that she opposed the peaceful transfer of power to Joe Biden -- right before lawyers for the challengers played a video of her saying that. "I have had many people manage my social media account over the years," Greene responded to Celli's question Friday."I have no idea who liked that."
The outcome of this case will reverberate beyond Georgia, because similar challenges are pending against other Republican officials and could be lodged against former Trump if he runs again in 2024.
