Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told Steve Bannon that President-elect Donald Trump’s new administration is “going to restore the scales and the balance to justice.”
The Georgia Republican reflected on Trump’s landslide election victory with Bannon, a former Trump White House aide, looking back at the left’s persecution of the GOP leader and his supporters and vowing retribution for those like former Rep. Liz Cheney.
“Congressman Greene, the American people rejected tonight the entire narrative about J6. You’re committed with me that we’re going to work like crazy to make sure that we get a pardon for the J6 individuals and also go after those people that persecuted them,” Bannon asked the lawmaker.

“Absolutely. I mean, look at what Liz Cheney did with the January 6th committee. Bennie Thompson, Nancy Pelosi. They totally abused the power of Congress and persecuted people, not just President Trump, but people like you, Peter Navarro, Trump staff, many people that worked in his administration, but also ordinary citizens,” Greene replied.
“And it was so wrong. And then what they did through the FBI raiding these people’s homes, what they did at the Department of Justice and continue to do Matthew Graves in particular,” she continued.
“Just get this straight, Matthew Graves is about to be fired. And that’s that’s one of the people that deserves to be held accountable for what he has done to ordinary Americans. They never did this to Antifa violent rioters. They never did this to BLM violent rioters,” Greene added. “But we’re going to take our country back and we’re going to restore the scales and the balance to justice.”
Greene celebrated Trump’s win, telling Bannon she “knew this was going to happen.”
“America was not going to tolerate the communist regime destroying our freedoms, ripping our borders wide open, trying to turn our kids trans, and promoting abortion as reproductive rights. America is done with it. They’re fed up with a weaponized government, and we’re winning big tonight. And President Trump is going back to the White House,” she said.
Bannon asked the congresswoman if there was any “truth to the rumor that you’re going to take over at DHS.”
“I don’t know what’s going to happen, Steve,” replied Greene who has expressed an interest in serving as secretary of Homeland Security.
“We’re just thrilled to have President Trump back in the White House because everyone knows what that means. We’re going to dismantle the deep state. We’re going to end the weaponized government. We’re going to pardon the J6’ers. That’s extremely important,” she said.
“And we are going to restore peace and prosperity back for the American people. And we’re going to end those foreign wars and we’re going to end the climate change scam. Everything’s going to be restored. We’re so excited,” she added.
