Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Raises $3.2 Million in 3 Months Despite Being a Few Biscuits Short...

Republicans are either desperate to hold on to any semblance of Trump, or they have nothing else to spend their stimulus money on, but somehow Marjorie Taylor Greene—the GOP Georgia representative that Republicans secretly hate, too—raise $3.2 million in three months.

According to CNN, QGreene announced Wednesday that her reelection campaign raised all this money in a short period of time because conspiracy theorists love them some conspiracy theorists.

“I am humbled, overjoyed, and so excited to announce what happened over the past few months as I have been the most attacked freshman member of Congress in history,” said Greene in a statement. “I stood my ground and never wavered in my belief in America First policies and putting People Over Politicians! And I will NEVER back down! As a matter of fact, I’m just getting started.”

Meanwhile, everyone hates this woman and her crazy ass ramblings as this past February “the House voted to remove Greene from her committee assignments after reports of her comments surfaced showing her encouragement of political violence, suggestion that the Parkland, Florida, school shooting was a ‘false flag’ operation and conspiratorial claim that a space laser controlled by Jewish financiers started a California wildfire in 2018,” CNN reports.

Yes, you read this correctly. There is currently a U.S. congresswoman who believes that a space laser, yes, a fucking space laser, started wildfires.

It would be easy to do damage control by backdoor funding folks, who then donate.
Sorry, but a person with zero influence isn't going to generate a million a month, even in the fascist party.
I simply don't believe this story.

The crazy gets them publicity and attention, appearances in RW media, and bunches of donations.

I wouldn't be surprised if Matt Gaetz sees a windfall, as well.

But you keep doing what you're going, Marjorie. I'm sure someone somewhere is proud of you.
