Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene speaks during a rally, Saturday, March 5, 2022, in Rome, Ga. (AP Photo/Mike Stewart) more > Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has yelled at President Biden during his State of the Union address, shot a rifle at a car stamped with “SOCIALISM” on its side and racked up thousands of dollars in fines protesting a COVID-19 mask mandate in the House.
These stances firmly align Mrs. Greene with most of her Republican colleagues, who also disapprove of Mr. Biden, abhor socialism and oppose coronavirus mandates.
Still, the way the 47-year-old goes about it — vis-a-vis an unapologetic, in-your-face, no-holds-barred style — separates her from the pack.
Mrs. Greene told The Washington Times that people in Washington might not understand the way she speaks or approaches her job because they live in a bubble and are dismissive of the issues that animate voters, whether it’s labor shortages or gas prices or transgender athletes.
“They are disconnected from real Americans, and that is their problem, not mine,” Mrs. Greene said. “I believe and share the same thoughts and feelings of the people in our district.”
Mrs. Greene said her constituents and voters across the country are “offended” and “upset” over “Washington basically lecturing and looking down on the rest of America.”
“I believe our federal government is a complete failure,” she said.
Mrs. Greene also isn’t afraid to veer from consensus Republican views, as she does in opposing U.S. military aid to Ukraine. She warned that Ukraine cannot defeat Russia and more arms will only prolong the inevitable and the money could end up financing “Nazi militias.”It’s a fringe position, though hardly a far-right position, that Mrs. Greene took up with her usual gusto.“We should not spend billions of Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars on lethal aid to be given to possible Nazi militias that are […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
