MAGA-Loving, Conspiracy Theorist MTG Picking Fights With Far-Right Allies To Try And Appear Legit

Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) appears to be changing her public approach to politics, leading to speculation that the famously far-right member of Congress may be trying to pull off a “remake” or “rebranding.” And while her new style might not be terribly convincing, it is getting attention. She recently has been picking fights with fellow far-right allies to make her case.

Post-Trump makeovers could be a thing in the 2024 election cycle.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is Kevin McCarthy’s yap dog.

Empty Greene, as in the vacuum between her ears.

She has found a more lucrative backer and is performing as s/he/they want; that is all.

Bloody barking seals the lot of 'em; too bad they actually have a real-world, national impact beyond box office.

We’ll see how nice being Qevin’s yap dog is 2024.

I’m not sure how the deep pockets are going to take this brinksmanship with the debt ceiling. Fucking the economy is usually not a great idea. As Lady Day said, “When the money’s gone and all your spending ends, they won’t 'round any more, no, no, no.”

That’d be an epic face turn if she can pull it off. It shows sound political judgment if she recognizes that Boebert and Gaetz are crazy enough that she can play off them like this.

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

Maybe TPM should start a gossip column for stories like this. It seems there will be plenty of them.

Ms. Yucel referred to McCarthy as a “moderate Republican” when she wrote “Speaker McCarthy and other moderate Republican lawmakers…”

McCarthy voted not to accept the 2020 Electors. Hardly the vote of a ‘moderate’ member of any political party.

I am enjoying the thought of Stefanik being supplanted by Greene. It may not happen on a literal level (Stefanik won’t lose her conference chair) but it’s clearly happened on a practical level.

STFU, @diskobutt.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is an over-excited puppy in search of any pantleg to power.

Having elbowed her way to the middle, Greene now becomes the elder statesman of measured behavior. From Robert Draper’s NYT article I sense that Greene, unlike Boebert, is savvy enough to know that merely being a sty in the American eye will not be enough to sustain her as the voice of the working class, a role she sees herself playing. Hence, the move to sobriety. Turning infamy into fame and then into power is the essence of Trumpian alchemy and the GOP’s preferred workaround to class immobility.

Nothing shrinks chip on the shoulder syndrome like a few committee assignments.
