Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has taken it on her shoulders to rally for the needs of America’s most at risk: the “average white male.” The Mr. America, who no one cares about and lobbies for because “his problem is being white and male.” How can we as a nation all have overlooked such a seismic issue? Whew, thank goodness Greene is speaking up for them!
Greene complained on video Thursday that U.S. lobbyists just fight for “big corporations and industries” and forget about taking care of “regular Mr. and Mrs. American, like mom and pops shops, and “single moms trying to make it.” Then things went left.
The Georgia congresswoman, known for claims that “Jewish space lasers” cause fires and calls to former President Donald Trump on the House floor.

Greene has repeatedly found herself in the role of defending the poor white American man. During an interview on the Piece of Schmidt YouTube show last year, Greene told the 18-year-old University of Chicago host Daniel Schmidt that white men were “pushed to the back” and told they “shouldn’t be listened to,” which, she reasoned, was why they “turn to porn on the internet, reading crazy things in chat rooms … and playing video games.”
"[What we hear] through Hollywood, through books, through music, through our entire culture is that white men are bad; they have to be pushed to the back, they shouldn't be listened to," Greene said. "But what that's done to your generation … it has created hopelessness in many of these guys. They're lost, they grow up in a broken home or maybe just a bad home. No one's there for them."
Boo hoo!
I’m surprised Greene didn’t mention that maybe it’s their alleged feelings of disempowerment that led all those white men to vote for Trump and even storm the U.S. Capitol in an insurrection.
Greene has proven herself to be a racist again and again in too many ways to even bother to go into. She’s called Asian people “yellow” and threatened to “Kick out every single Chinese in this country … I don’t care how much money you have.”
At a Trump rally in October, she claimed, “Joe Biden's 5 million illegal aliens are on the verge of replacing you, replacing your jobs and replacing your kids in school and, coming from all over the world, they're also replacing your culture. And that's not great for America,” echoing the “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory promoted by white nationalists.
And early last year, she spoke at a white nationalist conference and then alleged she didn’t know the views of those assembled.
For a brief moment, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell came to his senses and even said about unnamed lawmakers, but likely Greene, “There’s no place in the Republican Party for white supremacists or antisemitism.”
A week later, Greene ripped into McConnel on Alex Jones’ show, saying, “Mitch McConnell, he lies to your face … He says he’s a Republican. He’s the leader in the Senate of the Republican Party, but he’s married to Elaine Chao, and they’re fully bought and paid for by China on record. And everyone knows it, but no one does anything about it.”
And there it is again: Greene’s baldfaced racism.
