2/ Yesterday, Marjorie Taylor Greene kicked Marianna Pecora, an activist and digital director for @voterstomorrow. She also, with high probability pushed her. What follows is a partial Body Language Analysis, first of the video included above, as well an additional video.

3/ Note that Taylor Green looks down in the direction at/around Ms. Pecora's feet for ~2.5 seconds prior to the event (beginning just after 0:41 second mark in the above video). Before that, she had been looking straight ahead.

4/ Taylor Greene's torso maintained perpendicularity with ground throughout the entirety of this video — showing no sign of falling or loss-of-balance.

5/ Taylor Greene's head/neck reverted back to a level position (looking directly forward immediately after the event. This would tend not to happen in an actual 'trip' — as she would instinctively look at the ground to prevent injury.

6/ Greene began taking smaller steps — as she looked down (at 42 second mark) — hurdler's and tennis players, etc., refer to this 'Stutter Stepping'. This action allows her to coordinate her kick with respect to both time and placement.

7/ Simultaneous with her smaller steps, (42 second mark), Taylor Greene sped up her steps as she began to momentum her kick. If she had had a loss of balance, it would have been accompanied by a tilting/leaning of her torso — which did not happen.

8/ At the 0:43-0:44 second mark, although we cannot see it directly, Taylor Greene's right arm-hand (perhaps both hands) goes forward with considerable amplitude and speed — and with extremely high probability, pushes Ms. Pecora upper/mid back forward.

9/ You can even hear the impact against Ms. Pecora's back. This sound is simultaneous with Taylor Greene's push motion that is partially obscured.

10/ We can see Ms. Pecora's garment flip upward (with more inertia) as Pecora's torso is pushed forward with a greater relative speed (circled in orange).

In this second video, captured from a different angle, we can see that Taylor Greene kicks Ms. Pecora, not once but twice (1:16 [kicks with a highly probably push] and again at 1:18 [second kick]).

12/ Two seconds prior to contact (1:14) we can see Taylor Greene's shoulders behind the two men on each side of her (curiously, each of these men along with Taylor Green are all simultaneously looking down at Ms. Pecora's feet). Greene then moves forward rapidly.

13/ Taylor Green then clearly speeds up (1:15 - 1:16). Note her forward movement relative to the men on her right and left — as well as Ms. Pecora. Greene is moving considerably faster than these three other people. This is just prior to impact (Greene kicking w/ right foot).

14/ First Impact — Taylor Greene's right leg and right hand, (1:16), as Greene says, "Excuse me".

15/ Immediately after first impact — Ms. Pecora verbally exclaiming — Greene and man to her left are looking down and impact point — man on her right looking higher to his left with disgust expression and blushing (he's having some difficulty processing what he's seeing (1:16).

16/ Ms. Pecora is further into her exclamation, her head/neck rotated further.

17/ Girl over to far right of Greene (our left) saw what Greene did and is surprised-shocked.

18/ Taylor Greene kicks a second time (1:18). This is perhaps the most telling of all the images. You can see the extreme Jaw Jut of Taylor Greene's. A Jaw Jut is indicative of an Adrenaline Surge.

19/ Note the face of the girl at the same time as this second kick (1:18) and a split second later as she turns to share her shock-surprise with what she's just witnessed.

20/ At 1:19 we see Taylor Greene in a second Jaw Jut (Adrenaline Surge) and a boy (another witness) off to her right (our left) displaying an Inward Lip Roll (Suppressing his emotions) — while Ms. Pecora displays Surprise.

21/ At 1:19-1:20 we hear Taylor Green say, "You're in the way, 'cuse me", as she dismissively gestures with her palm up. Ms. Pecora is in the midst of a mouth cover signaling Emotional Processing.

22/ At 1:21 we see Ms. Pecora further covering her mouth in a display of emotional processing (i.e., Her intellect knows what she just experienced, but her emotional brain isn't yet able to process it) as Greene and her assistants are rationalizing Greene's behavior to her.

23/ Backtracking to 1:16, just after first impact, Greene's assistant (her left) says, "Step out of the way please", then "You're blocking a member of congress", then, "You're blocking a member of congress. You need to — stay away", then, "You can't block members of congress".

24/ The other man (to Greene's right) says (1:20), "Excuse me Ma'am. Excuse me Ma'am. [inaudible] block."

25/ To state the obvious — as well as normal human behavior, when people are walking on the street. While everyone does not walk at the exact same speeds, a person never has the right or the privilege of plowing into the person in front of them.

26/ The common 'make-room-for-everyone/we're-moving-together-as-a-group' is ubiquitous across all human culture and, indeed, throughout much of the animal kingdom.

27/ Any bird, fish, gazelle, wildebeest, etc., who flys-swims-runs into the fellow animal in front of them, isn't community-minded and puts the entire flock-school-herd at risk and danger.

28/ Taylor Greene then looks into the camera in front of her — Smiles — and Blushes (1:26). Smiling out of context (after kicking someone twice and pushing them once), particularly whist blushing — in this scenario screams self-knowledge of culpable-guilt (not remorse-guilt).

29/ She then continues, "You're a paid actress. You're a paid actress. Yeah, you are. Yeah, you are. Yeah, you are." — as she displays four successive dismissive palm-down waves."

FACT: Marianna Pecora is an activist and a digital director for @voterstomorrow.

30/ All of Greene's immediate and inflammatory verbal responses are much more indicative of a deliberate act on Taylor Greene's part vs. any accidental trip. Ms. Pecora and the other two men were all moving at the same speed. It was Taylor Greene who sped up — deliberately.

31/ Moreover, at no time did Taylor Greene apologize or use an apologetic tone.

32/ SUMMARY: Marjorie Taylor Green deliberately kicked activist and digital director, Marianna Pecora, TWICE yesterday just south of the US Capitol. With extremely high probability, Greene also pushed Pecora in her upper/mid back.

This was not an accident or a tripping event.

33/ There were multiple witnesses to this event, including civilians, journalists, other government employees, and Taylor Greene's own assistants.

Multiple videos were also captured. Two of these videos were evaluated in detail in this thread.

Ω

Addendum: A third, additional camera angle — clearing demonstrating Taylor Green's kicks were deliberate.
