Marjorie Taylor Greene

On Wednesday's edition of CNN's "The Lead," analyst Nia-Malika Henderson outlined how the less extreme wing of House Republicans should have cause for alarm about their potential lack of influence in the upcoming Republican House Majority.

This comes as a small faction of far-right Republicans are threatening to block House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from the 218 votes needed for Speaker of the House — and as pro-QAnon Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has thrown her support behind McCarthy amid his promises to restore her to her committee assignments.

A pair of reporters who got kicked out of a Republican gathering revealed more about the scene where Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene boasted that she could have successfully pulled off the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Hannah Gais and Michael Edison Hayden, of the Southern Poverty Law Center, attended last weekend's New York Republican Club's annual gala -- until they were ushered out, that is -- and told The Daily Beast's "Fever Dreams" podcast what they saw at the right-wing gathering.

Aides to both Donald Trump and Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger were furiously texting each other within minutes of the start of a now-infamous phone call.

Texts show that Raffensperger aide Jordan Fuchs reached out quickly to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows during the Jan. 2, 2021, phone call that has landed under criminal investigation by Georgia prosecutors and the Department of Justice, reported the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Some cases in New York are about to get more difficult after a police department evidence facility went up in flames on Tuesday.

The three-alarm fire broke out at about 10:35 a.m. in Brooklyn with 140 firefighters from 33 units sent to battle the blaze, Patch reported.

Members of the House committee investigating the Capitol riot are bracing for Republicans' taking the House next month who are likely gearing up to discredit the committee's work, Rolling Stone reports.

As Rolling Stone points out, Jan. 6 committee staff are "preparing for their investigation to be investigated."

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) lashed out at her critics and defended what she said was a "joke" about leading an "armed" insurrection against the U.S. government.

Conservative podcast host Steve Bannon welcomed Greene on his Tuesday show by laughing at the controversy she caused at a recent Young Republicans gala in New York.

Over the weekend Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) bragged that if she was in charge of the Jan. 6 attack on Congress there would have been more weapons and she would have won. It has brought swift condemnation from Democrats and Greene was forced to dial it back with the claim she was just joking.

It didn't matter to the co-hosts of "The View," who attacked her for treating a plot to overthrow the United States a "joke."

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boasts that she would have planned a successful insurrection serves as a warning that she's "untouchable" within the Republican Party, and MSNBC's John Heilemann said she's going to continue flaunting her power.

The Georgia Republican has quickly become one of the most influential GOP lawmakers, and she has formed an alliance with minority leader Kevin McCarthy that boosts her standing in the caucus by making the would-be House speaker beholden to her whims.

In a speech at a New York GOP event over the weekend, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) boasted that she and Steve Bannon would have "won" the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol had they been in charge of it — a remark she later tried to walk back and claim was "sarcasm."

On CNN Monday, former Gov. John Kasich (R-OH), a longtime critic of former President Donald Trump, laid into Greene for her behavior.

Former federal prosecutor Jennifer Rodgers on Monday outlined how the latest moves from special counsel Jack Smith make her believe former President Donald Trump is on the road to criminal prosecution.

During an appearance on CNN, Rodgers reacted to news of fresh subpoenas sent out by Smith since taking over the investigation last month by saying it indicates that he is moving quickly and aggressively.

On CNN Monday, longtime Mitch McConnell adviser and Republican D.C. insider Scott Jennings slammed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for her boast that if she and Steve Bannon had been leading the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, they would have "won" — in part because they would have been better "armed" than the people who actually showed up.

Greene, who is set to regain her revoked House committee assignments when Republicans are sworn into the House majority, later tried to claim her comment was "sarcasm" — an excuse that Jennings did not buy.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) on Monday criticized Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for boasting over the weekend that she would have "won" an armed insurrection if she'd been the organizer of the January 6 Capitol riots.

Writing on Twitter, Raskin shredded Green for her statement, which he said was inappropriate even if she were really just making a joke about it.
