>> WELCOME BACK TO JENNER'S
NEWS WRAP REPRESENTATIVE
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE
A STEP BENIN AS A
REPRESENTATIVE OF SORTS FOR
TRUMP ERA IDEOLOGIES HERE
IN WASHINGTON. THE GEORGIA
REPUBLICAN HAS QUICKLY MADE A
NAME FOR SOUTH IN THE HALLWAYS
OF THE CAPITOL DIVING HEADFIRST
INTO CONTROVERSIES, INCLUDING
INTRODUCING ARTICLES OF
IMPEACHMENT AGAINST PRESIDENT
BIDEN IN HIS VERY FIRST WEEK IN
OFFICE SHE WAS ALSO REMOVED
FROM HER COMMITTEES ON CAPITOL
HILL AFTER PRIOR CONSPIRATORIAL
RACIST AND ANTI SEMITIC
COMMENTS CAME
TO LIGHT THAT CLUSTER OF
CONTROVERSY HAS INSPIRED
ELECTION
CHALLENGES MORE MORE THAN A
YEAR BEFORE THE 2022 MIDTERMS
JOINING US NOW IS MARCUS
FLOWERS DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGER
TO REPRESENTATIVE GREEN IN
GEORGIA'S 14TH CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT MARK IT'S GREAT TO
HAVE YOU HERE. SO SIMPLY PUT
WHY RUN FOR CONGRESS FOR
NORTHWESTERN AND WHY ANNOUNCE
YOUR CANDIDACY AGAINST
REPRESENTATIVE GREEN SO EARLY.
>> WELL, JUDY FIRST OF ALL
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
I'M RUNNING FOR CONGRESS
BECAUSE I FEEL THE
CONGRESSWOMAN GREENS, IT'S WILD
CONSPIRACY THEORIES, NOT ONLY
DANGEROUS FOR DISTRICT IN
GEORGIA, A DANGEROUS FOR
AMERICA AS WELL.
YOU DON'T SERVE AS A
SOLDIER DEFENSE CONTRACTOR AND
FORMER GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL.
I'VE BEEN ALL OVER THE WORLD.
WE'RE SEEING THE DAMAGE DONE BY
EXTREMISM AND RADICALISM AND
THIS INFORMATION. I THINK
THAT'S WHAT MARJORIE TAYLOR
GREENE IS TRYING TO BRING HERE
TO AMERICA.
WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF
SERVING ALONGSIDE THE TRULY
GREAT AMERICAN HEROES SERVING
WITH SOME TRULY GREAT AMERICAN
HEROES. I FEEL THAT IF ELECTED
TO CONGRESS I CAN RESTORE.
INTEGRITY AND DECENCY TO THE
SEA.
>> OF COURSE THAT'S IT DOES
REPRESENT A CONSTITUENCY THAT
RIGHT
NOW MARCUS STATE IS VIEWED BY
PULLING PROGNOSTICATORS AS
PLUS 27 REPUBLICAN OVER TO THE
HEAVILY REPUBLICAN DISTRICT
I'VE BEEN DOWN THERE RECENTLY
HAVE IS AN ADULT IN GEORGIA.
I NOTICE THERE FOR A TRUMP
RALLY BACK IN
JANUARY WAS THIS SEEMS TO BE
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE
TERRITORY. SO HOW DOES A
DEMOCRAT EVEN COMPETE. LET
ALONG COME OUT VICTORIOUS IN
SUCH A HEAVILY RED DISTRICT IN
GEORGIA.
>> YOU KNOW FIRST OF
ALL VOTERS DID NOT HAVE A
CHOICE THE LAST TIME. MANY
PEOPLE DON'T
KNOW THAT THIS MURDER TO AGREE
RAN AN OPPOSE IN THE LAST ALERT
SHE DEMOCRATIC OPPONENT DROPPED
OUT MONTHS BEFORE THE RACE
BEGAN. SO I'M RUNNING TO GIVE
PEOPLE A CHOICE THIS TIME.
THAT'S GOING TO BE A CHOICE
BETWEEN CHAOS AND STABILITY.
IT'S GOING TO BE A CHOICE
BETWEEN SOMEONE
WHO SAYS THE 9.11 WAS A HOAX
FOR SOMEONE WHO WAS SERVING OUR
COUNTRY ON 11. I SUBSEQUENTLY
SPENT THE NEXT DECADE IN WAR
ZONES.
YOU KNOW PEOPLE SAID JOE BIDEN
COULD WIN HERE IN GEORGIA.
HE DID.
AND SINCE THEN GEORGIA SENT 2
MORE DEMOCRATS TO THE SENATE.
SO WE'RE SO YOUR QUESTION YOU
KNOW IS GOING TO BE HARDER.
WE'RE BUILDING A MOVEMENT HERE
IN GEORGIA.
FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE COUNTRY
LIKE I'VE YOU PLEASE GO TO MARS
FOR GEORGIA DOT COM AND DONATE
OUR
GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGN BECAUSE WE
DON'T ACCEPT CORPORATE PAC
MONEY YOU'RE GOING TO NEED ALL
THE HELP WE CAN GET.
>> NOW I DO WANT TO BE CLEAR
HERE REPRESENTATIVE GREEN HAS
APOLOGIZED FOR MANY OF THE
VIEWS THAT SHE HELD PREVIOUSLY
SHE'S TAKEN TO THE HOUSE FLOOR
TO SAY
AS MUCH. SHE'S EXPRESSED SOME
REGRET FOR PREVIOUS COMMENTS
AND SHE DID
LATER CONFIRMED, 9.11
ABSOLUTELY HAPPENED WHICH IN
AND OF ITSELF SOUNDS LIKE A
STRANGE THING FOR A MEMBER OF
CONGRESS TO BE FORCED TO
CLARIFY BUT TO YOUR POINT THERE
HAD BEEN
SOME TROUBLING COMMENTS.
SHE'S MADE PREVIOUSLY YOU
MENTIONED A DEMOCRAT WHO
DROPPED OUT, THAT'S KEVIN
VANOSDOL I'M CURIOUS HAVE YOU
SPOKEN WITH THE VANOSDOL
CAMPAIGN ARE THERE ANY LEARNED
LESSONS THAT YOU CAN TAKE
I KNOW KEVIN WAS PERSONALLY HAD
SOME FAMILY ISSUES SORT OF
FORCED HIM TO DROP OUT OF
THAT RACE EARLIER THAN
ANTICIPATED, BUT ARE THERE
THINGS YOU CAN TAKE AWAY FROM
OTHER DEMOCRATS WHO HAVE TRIED
TO SOME DEGREE TO LAUNCH A
CAMPAIGN IN THAT PARTICULAR
DISTRICT.
>> YOU KNOW SPOKEN KEVIN IN THE
PAST WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
NOW IS WE'RE GOING
TO VOTE WE SAW HIM GETTING OUR
MESSAGE OUT TO THE PEOPLE THIS
IS ABOUT RED OR BLUE FOR ME.
AND TO YOUR POINT ABOUT MARTHA
TAYLOR GREEN. DENOUNCING SOME
♪
OF HER.
FORMER STATEMENTS YOU KNOW SHE
STILL CONTINUES WITH THE ANTICS
AND SO THAT'S NOTHING NEW.
SHE SEEKS TO DIVIDE AMERICANS
WITH EVERY OPPORTUNITY SHE
GETS.
AND I'M SICK AND TIRED OF
SEEING POLITICIANS TREAT OTHER
AMERICANS AS THE ENEMY. SIMPLY
BECAUSE OF
DIFFERENT VIEWS. YOU KNOW WE
FOCUS ON OUR CAMPAIGN IS COVID
RELIEF. CONGRESSWOMAN GREENE
VOTED AGAINST THE COVID BILL.
YOU KNOW SHE VOTED AGAINST
PROVIDING AMERICANS.
THE STIMULUS PAYMENTS THAT MANY
OF THE JORDANS IN THIS DISH WE
ARE GOING TO NEED
YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO NEED
THAT MONEY TO GET SCHOOLS BACK
OPEN WE'RE GOING TO NEED THAT
MONEY FOR SMALL BUSINESSES.
>> THAT HAVE BEEN LOST BECAUSE
OF COVID.
>> SO MARCUS AS FAR AS YOU
UNDERSTAND THIS BILL AND IT IS
A HUGE BILL AT 1.9 TRILLION
DOLLARS THAT'S MORE THAN 600
PAGES IN LENGTH AS FAR AS YOU
UNDERSTAND THE PROVISIONS IN
THIS PARTICULAR PIECE
OF LEGISLATION. YOU WOULD VOTE
IN SUPPORT AND IT SOUNDS AS IF
THE DIRECT STIMULUS PAYMENTS
ARE ONE OF THE
STRONGEST ARGUMENTS IN FAVOR OF
THAT THAT WOULD BE WHAT
RESONATES WITH YOUR WOULD BE
CONSTITUENTS IS THAT A FAIR
READING.
>> NOT ONLY THE DIRECT STIMULUS
PAYMENT THIS BILL ALSO SETS
ASIDE 50 BILLION DOLLARS FOR
SMALL BUSINESSES.
>> AND CERTAINLY VERY IMPORTANT
IN MANY AMERICAN SMALL BUSINESS
HERE. IN YOUR ANNOUNCEMENT
VIDEO YOU CITED REPRESENTATIVE
GREEN'S COMMENTS SURROUNDING
THE JANUARY SO
NEXT DEADLY INSURRECTION ON
CAPITOL HILL. DO YOU HAVE A
SENSE HERE AND I KNOW THAT WAS
SUCH A DEFINING DAY IN SUCH A
UGLY DARK DAY THAT AMERICANS
WERE FORCED TO LIFT THEIR OWN
OBVIOUSLY A DEADLY DAY IN THE
CAPITAL BUT IS IT YOUR SENSE
THAT THAT A PARTICULAR
DAY AND COMMENTS SURROUNDING
THAT DAY WILL STILL BE
LITIGATED WELL INTO THIS
CAMPAIGN IS THERE
A A A DEGREE WHICH YOU THINK
VOTERS WILL STILL BE FOCUSED ON
WHAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6 THAN
ANY OF THE SURROUNDING RHETORIC
FROM REP BRING.
>> AS A FORMER VETERAN
GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL.
JANUARY 6 TO ME IS A DAY THAT
WILL LIVE IN INFAMY I DON'T
CARE IF IT'S
A WEEK. A YEAR OR A 100 YEARS
FROM NOW WE'RE NEVER GOING TO
FORGET THE OTHER IT'S
DAYS LIKE JANUARY 6 ALSO
THERE'S LIKE 9.11. THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT'S SEARED INTO
OUR NATIONAL CONSCIENCE.
>> I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW
LAWMAKERS THAT YOU DON'T
NECESSARILY PUT YOURSELF ON A
SLIDING SCALE, BUT THIS
SIMPLIFIED ARGUMENT AND
HEADLINES. MARCUS OFTENTIMES IS
YOU GOT YOUR SO-CALLED
PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS THAT PUSH
FOR.
>> THEIR OWN ITEMS YOU'VE GOT
MORE MATER DEMOCRATS WHERE ON
THAT DEMOCRATIC SPECTRUM IN A
PARTY THAT LIKES TO FASHION
ITSELF AS A BIG TENT PARTY DO
YOU SEE YOUR STYLE OF GOVERNING
EITHER LAWMAKERS CURRENTLY IN
CONGRESS THAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU
CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH.

>> BALI TO CALL MYSELF A MARCUS
FLOWERS DEMOCRAT, I DON'T THINK
I FIT NEATLY INTO

THING THAT YOU MENTION OF
