Political Policy and Bias:
Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican representative for Georgia’s 14th congressional district since 2021, is a polarizing figure known for her combative style and controversial views. She has positioned herself as a prominent voice of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) political movement, a coalition of right-wing populists that coalesced during the presidency of Donald Trump. Greene has been a vocal advocate of former president Donald Trump, aiding and supporting his attempts to overturn the 2020 U.S. presidential election and promoting his false claims of a stolen election. She has also been involved in business, having managed a quarter of a billion dollars of construction projects as the owner of a commercial construction and renovation company and later selling a stake in a thriving CrossFit gym.
Greene has drawn national attention for her promotion of conspiracy theories and controversial statements. She has been accused of promoting antisemitic and white supremacist views, including the white genocide conspiracy theory, QAnon, and Pizzagate. She has also been criticized for her attempts to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson, which were swiftly rejected by both Democrats and Republicans. Despite the controversies, Greene continues to be a significant figure in the Republican party and U.S. politics and is currently considered a contender for Donald Trump’s 2024 Vice President pick.
