A Georgia judge has just ruled that insurrectionist Marjorie Greene will be allowed to run for reelection in her Congressional district despite her role in planning the January 6th Capitol riots. The representative group of the suing voters, Free Speech for People, says the decision “betrays the fundamental purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause”. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, and Jeff Waldorf discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live

"A judge ruled on Friday that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is qualified for reelection despite a lawsuit arguing that she should be "constitutionally disqualified from congressional office" because of her role in the Jan. 6 riot, AP reports.

Why it matters: Greene, one of the faces of the Republican party and a staunch Trump supporter, was questioned in court about the insurrection. She repeated the unfounded claim that fraud led to Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, AP writes.

But Greene also testified that she did not know about plans to violently disrupt Congress' proceedings as they certified electoral votes.

What they're saying: "This decision betrays the fundamental purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause and gives a pass to political violence as a tool for disrupting and overturning free and fair elections," Free Speech for People, who represented the Georgia voters in the lawsuit, said in a statement."
