The Georgia Republican is fast falling out of favor for her opposition to the Ukraine aid bill.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greeneās failed fight to end aid to Ukraine, and herĀ sort-of-serious crusadeĀ against House Speaker Mike Johnson, has cost her the support of right-wing media.
The Sunday front page of the New York Post, owned by the conservative Murdoch family, was the latest outlet toĀ attackĀ Greene, invoking the āMoscow Marjorieā nicknameĀ coinedĀ by former representative Ken Buck.
Fox News, another arm of the Murdoch media empire, had alreadyĀ taken aimĀ at the Georgia Republican last week, with columnist Liz PeekĀ callingĀ her an āidiotā and saying she needs to āturn all that bombastic self-serving showmanship and drama queen energy on Democrats.ā This follows an editorial last month from The Wall Street Journal, also in the Murdoch portfolio, that called Greene āRep. Mayhem Taylor Greeneā and accused her and her allies of being āmost interested in TV hits and internet donors.ā
Even a non-Murdoch outlet is on the attack, as conservative Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Debra SaundersĀ demandedĀ to know āwho put Marjorie Taylor Greene in charge?ā
She is currently running for re-election.
Sorry, I should have phrased that differently:
I canāt wait for the results of her run. :)
Donāt get your hopes too high. Iāve lived in GA and frequently drove through her district. Thereās jack shit out there. No major businesses, no public services, no food outside of Subways, Bojangles, and McDonaldās. Itās mostly farmland with some really small towns filled with the kind of people who would vote for MTG. Theyāre not at all informed and really donāt care about anything more than āowning the libs.ā
To be fair, some of it is Chattanooga suburbs, there are the carpet manufacturers in Dalton, and that Buc-eeās opened a few years ago (that counts as fine dining, right?).
Fair point, but Iām still going to hope. Sounds like Boebert is never coming back, 2/2 would be a nice win.
Sheās running without a republican challenger. She won the last election 66% to 35%. Georgiaās 14th district hasnāt voted blue since its gerrymandered inception. I wouldnāt hold my breath.
