WATCH: Marjorie Taylor Greene calls on all GOP reps to leave Twitter and go to GETTR

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene joined Tucker Carlson on Fox News Tuesday night to discuss being permanently banned from Twitter over "COVID misinformation," though her posts cited federal numbers. She was suspended from Facebook shortly thereafter.

"If they can take down a sitting President," Carlson said, referencing the ban of President Donald Trump from the platform on January 7, 2020, "silence him and now a sitting—one of the most popular judging by the polls—member of Congress, they can take down any Republican who strays outside the lines that they've drawn."

Greene responded, "Well, that's exactly what the American people know. And this is what our leadership should take seriously."

"In our Republican conference, you see Americans are sick and tired of investigations that produce nothing. No one ever gets held accountable. No one ever goes to jail. We don't have control right now," The Georgia congresswoman said.

"So Congress and Republicans in Congress can do nothing for the American people who have been silenced," she continued, "but when a private company that is not elected by anyone in this country, declares war on a sitting member of Congress and a sitting President who happened to be both from the Republican party, it's up to our leadership and it's up to our conference to do something about it."

Tucker replied, "Kevin McCarthy, California, super nice guy. He expects to be Speaker. He will, because Republicans are going to take control... he's about to be really powerful. He issued a statement saying, 'when we get power, we're going to do something about section 230.'"

"I'm confused," he said, seemingly perplexed, "Why wouldn't a guy who thinks he should be Speaker of the House, be defending members of his own conference by calling up Twitter and saying, 'You get her back on there right now or else we're going to punish you. This is censorship and we're not going to put up with it.' How can you lead a political party if you can't even do that?"

"Well, that's what a lot of people are asking," Greene responded, "but here's the situation Tucker, I'm encouraging my entire conference," she said, noting the ongoing "investigations that produce nothing."

"No one's ever held accountable, no one ever goes to jail," Greene said.

"Congress and Republicans in Congress can do nothing for the American people who have been silenced," she said, because the GOP are not currently in control. "But when a private company that is not elected by anyone in this country declares war on a sitting member of Congress and a sitting president, who happen to be both from the Republican Party, it's up to our leadership and it's up to our conference to do something about it."

Carlson said he thought McCarthy should do something about the ban, going so far as to say that McCarthy should call Twitter and demand that Greene be reinstated. For Greene's part, she called on all GOP Congressmen to leave Twitter.

"I'm encouraging my entire conference," she said, "I'm asking all of them to leave Twitter because Twitter has declared war on our party. And what are we going to do? Just sit there and go, 'oh, we're going to wait until we get the majority back and then we're going to have investigations. And then when we get full control, we're going to pass laws to stop this?'"

"Nothing was done in the past and nothing has been done now," Greene said. "So what everyone needs to do is do what I did, I went to GETTR. I went to Gab, I went to Telegram. I think everyone should leave. And I'm asking my entire conference to do it because you know what? You don't keep eating bad food at a restaurant that keeps serving it to you. You get up and leave and you go somewhere else where you're treated well. And for right now, that's what everyone needs to do while we have the freedom to do it."

"That's it. That's the answer," Carlson responded. "Great. And that's a great analogy, but you're one member.... where's the leadership of your party? Why don't they just say 'no Republican in the House of Representatives is going to be using Twitter anymore? And we're all migrating to companies that don't hate us or are trying to censor us on the eve of a national election, which is coming up this year.'"

"Well, that's what should be happening," she said. "But Tucker, I've had a different experience. I'm not used to people defending me. I'm used to having to defend myself and the reason why I'm going about it on my own and leaving and going to GETTR and being perfectly happy with it is because I care about the American people. And I think they should do the same thing. We can make Twitter powerless when we all decide to leave, and that is how Republican leadership should be handling this."

"You know the truth," Carlson concluded, "which is if Republican leadership with Kevin McCarthy can't even defend you, he's not going to defend the country... you defend your people. That's what leadership is. And if you're unwilling to defend your people, you're not worthy of leadership."
