Marjorie Taylor Greene is an American politician and businesswoman serving as representative for Georgia's 14th congressional district. She is known for her promotion of far-right conspiracies, most infamously QAnon. Other theories Greene has promoted include Pizzagate, false-flag shootings, and 9/11 conspiracies.
When she was elected, Greene distanced herself from conspiracy theories, but continued to express far-right viewpoints, such as comparing COVID-19 precautions to the Holocaust. While she "apologized" for this comparison, she later went on to compare President Biden's door-to-door vaccine offers to brownshirts worn by Jews during the Holocaust.
Greene openly believes the 2020 Election was stolen from Donald Trump, and has promoted his efforts to overturn the election.
Due to her promotion of violence, the House voted to remove her from all committee roles due to her extreme viewpoints on February 4th, 2021.
She is also transphobic, as she called trans women "men playing dress-up".
During the 2022 Russo-Ukraine war, Greene has promoted Russian propaganda and praised Vladimir Putin.
She also faced criticism, including from Republicans for appearing in the America First Political Action Conference hosted by Nick Fuentes. However, Greene denies previously knowing Fuentes.
Greene is currently facing legal challenges due to her alleged role in the 2021 United States Capitol storming.
