Maybe this isn’t fairly the endorsement she thinks it’s.
Republican Consultant and notorious conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene stated JD Vance believes the identical issues she does.

When she’s not heckling the President of the USA throughout his State of the Union tackle, Greene does issues like in Could of this yr, threatening Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) with a movement to vacate until she obtained what she needed, which was a Trump/Putin want record: defund Jack Smith and Ukraine. She filed an modification to attempt to power President Biden to withdraw from NATO. Or, as Greene calls it, “America First” (i.e., America final, Putin first).
The Georgia Republican has stated out loud that she sees the job of Home Republicans as defending convicted felon Donald Trump. She’s so PRO a sure form of convict, in reality, that she launched articles of impeachment in opposition to a U.S. Lawyer for prosecuting January sixth terrorists. Sadly, this love for convicts doesn’t unfold to others; its contained solely on those that tried to violently overthrow an election Trump misplaced.
And people are just some of her vanilla anti-democracy beliefs. She additionally frequently throws out unfounded conspiracies, like demanding full investigations into whether or not or not the Francis Scott Key Bridge was an accident, which some might even see as a welcome aid from her obsession with sharing Hunter Biden’s revenge p0rn photographs throughout official Home enterprise that’s being beamed to households the nation extensive, however provided that she additionally needs to chop authorities spending (however not lower tax cuts to the wealthy!), the Home doesn’t have quite a lot of sources to work with. So perhaps chasing down conspiracies for Marge isn’t the perfect use of them.
Greene tried to drag a “gotcha” on Director Wray, accusing him of censoring her social media posts as part of the Division of Homeland Safety (they’ve been censored by massive tech, which loves Republicans, as a result of she is so unhinged), solely to be instructed by Wray in a public listening to that he’s not in Homeland Safety. Analysis and information will not be Greene fortes. So, you’ll be able to depend on very new Ohio Senator and faux hillbilly JD Vance to do a bang up job in authorities if he’s like MTG.
She’s an individual who could be very involved about Invoice Gates wanting folks to eat faux meat grown in a “peach tree dish,” in case you’re questioning how vibrant she’s suggesting JD Vance is. Though, to be truthful, I’m fairly certain Vance is smarter than Greene; he’s an enterprise capitalist faux Appalachian opportunist, whereas Greene is a real believer. However he’s prepared to stroll in Greene’s path even figuring out higher, and that’s not an amazing endorsement.
Marge on Fb is all the things you’d count on from a Q-Anon believer who got here to being a “lawmaker” (and I take advantage of that time period loosely). “After a decade marked by troubles at work and at dwelling, adultery, palpable discontentedness and a consuming zeal for intense train and faddish vitamin, her roving longing for an viewers discovered its final outlet in right-wing on-line commentary and eventually real-world, face-to-face provocation,” Politico Journal reported in 2021.
Greene wrote issues like:
“Have you ever guys been following 4chan? Q?” she stated in a Fb Stay lower than a month in. “Q is a patriot,” she stated. “It’s not simply somebody poking at the hours of darkness,” she stated. “I actually, actually pray that is true,” she stated. “This actually could also be occurring,” she stated. “The extent of significance is nice versus evil,” she stated. “Increasingly more individuals are beginning to discuss,” she stated. “I spend quite a lot of time trying up this info,” she stated.
Requested about her Jewish Area Laser conspiracy, and why usually individuals who assist Trump appear actually taken with conspiracies, she instructed a reporter to “f*ck off.” Southern allure is alive and effectively.
Greene known as Trump “President Come,” and sure I do know.
The record of Greene’s bonkers beliefs are too quite a few to element right here, however they’re so unhealthy she stated Fox Information banned her from the spin room in 2023.
MTG has defined her conspiracy beliefs as different folks’s duty, as a result of why didn’t they TELL HER. If that’s not a golden endorsement of reliable beliefs, what’s.
Ms. Greene is little doubt making an attempt to consolation herself, as she thought she can be the V.P. The remainder of us knew Trump would by no means choose her for a wide range of causes that, as a result of they’re Trump’s considering, vary from misogynistic to outright imply. However in keeping with her, he did choose her, mainly. As a result of JD Vance shares her beliefs.
Certainly, JD Vance has pledged he would overturn an election and illegally seize energy, which might be one of many greatest attracts for Donald Trump in a operating mate after the ex-president steered his then VP Mike Pence needs to be hung for refusing to do such an unlawful act.
While you consider JD Vance, see MTG. It’s what she needs. Unbiased voters will little doubt be persuaded, however maybe not within the path the Republican thinks.
