Marjorie Taylor Greene

Profile Overview

Marjorie Taylor Greene (née Taylor; born May 27, 1974), also known by her initials MTG, is an American politician, businesswoman, and conspiracy theorist who served as the U.S. representative for Georgia's 14th congressional district from 2021 until her resignation in 2026. A former member of the Republican Party, she was elected to Congress in 2020 following the retirement of Republican incumbent Tom Graves and was reelected in 2022 and 2024. Greene is widely considered to be a populist and far-right politician.
Greene has promoted Islamophobic, antisemitic, and white supremacist views including the white genocide conspiracy theory, as well as QAnon, and Pizzagate. She has amplified conspiracy theories that allege government involvement in mass shootings in the United States, implicate the Clinton family in murder, and suggest the attacks of 9/11 were a hoax. Before running for Congress, Greene supported calls to execute prominent Democratic Party politicians, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. As a congresswoman, she equated the Democratic Party with Nazis, and compared COVID-19 safety measures to the persecution of Jews during the Holocaust, later apologizing for this comparison. During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Greene promoted Russian propaganda and praised its president Vladimir Putin. Greene identifies as a Christian nationalist.
A vocal advocate of President Donald Trump during his first presidency, Greene aided and supported his attempts to overturn the 2020 U.S. presidential election and has promoted Trump's false claims of a stolen election. She called for the results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election in Georgia to be decertified, and was part of a group of Republican legislators who unsuccessfully challenged votes for Joe Biden during the 2021 United States Electoral College vote count, even though federal agencies and courts overseeing the election found no evidence of electoral fraud. Days after Biden's inauguration, Greene filed articles of impeachment alleging abuse of power.
The U.S. House of Representatives voted to remove Greene from all committee roles on February 4, 2021, in response to her endorsements of political violence. Eleven Republicans joined unanimous Democrats in the vote. Greene was appointed to new committee roles in January 2023. In June 2023, she was expelled from the conservative House Freedom Caucus after insulting fellow caucus member Congresswoman Lauren Boebert. In May 2024, Greene unsuccessfully attempted to oust Republican Mike Johnson from his role as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Greene publicly criticized Trump during his second presidency, questioning whether he was "still America First" and attacking his initial opposition to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which he later signed into law, as well as domestic and foreign policies. Trump responded by berating her on Truth Social and in the press, revoking his endorsement of her and opening the door to primarying her out of her seat. Greene subsequently announced her resignation from Congress, effective January 5, 2026, stating that she did not want her district to endure a "hurtful and hateful primary". In April 2026, amid the 2026 Iran war, Greene called for Trump to be removed from office through the Twenty-fifth amendment; as well as for the Republican Party "to be burned to the ground."
