U.S. Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) appears to be cashing in on the controversy. The first-year lawmaker reportedly hauled in a massive $3.2 million in campaign donations from January through March 2021 primarily from small, grassroots contributors.
What’s even more notable is that social media star Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-N.Y.) reportedly only managed about $726,000 during the same time period in 2019 when she was new in Washington.
Given that they face reelection every two years, members of Congress are constantly “dialing for dollars,” and the digital equivalent, for their own campaigns or (if they are in a safe, gerrymandered district) to spread the wealth to other office-holders or seekers in their political party.
“That means Greene raised four times the amount of the most high-profile Democratic freshman in their comparable first quarter in office,” Fox News noted about the AOC comparison.
As well documented, Greene was famously stripped of her committee assignments, putting her metaphorically on her own island, for espousing conspiracy theories, which makes her donation total perhaps even more impressive in that she no longer has a platform in those venues.
Democrat even floated the idea of expelling her from Congress altogether, for supposedly supporting “sedition,” but that — at least for now — has died down.
For a time, the corporate media seemed to try to turn her into Trump 2.0 in the context of an avatar for negative coverage, but that, too, has died down, at least for now.

MTG represents the solid Republican 14th congressional district in northwest Georgia, so she appears to be in a strong position for reelection, although she could face a well-financed primary challenger from the GOP establishment. She definitely now has an edge in cash on hand, though.
People love a fighter. If all Republicans did this they’d be raki g in the bucks too.
Great news.
Greene went on Steve Bannon’s show and asked for money. She said they are trying to destroy her (both sides) and she needed the money to fight back AND to prove / show THEM that her performance / behavior is a winning strategy that the voters approve. FIGHT MTG, FIGHT!
I immediately sent her $50 and will do it again when she asks for more donations.
She can, as a sitting member of Congress, ask for bills to be read, and that is what she does and it drives both sides crazy because it exposes the colossal waste in the bills and shines sunlight on the games that both sides play.
I gave her $25.00.I know it’s just a small amount but she is raising hell and pissing off the Democrats and their shills in the MSM.Keep it up MTG and you will never run out of small donors like me.
Sadly, in donating to MTG, using WINRED, I was put on some kind of mailing list and I got bombarded by text messages for every kind of congressional PAC.
I comprised an intentionally profanity-laced angry response leaving nothing to the imagination and texted them back, copying and pasting the exact same message repeatedly into texts sent to them every time they contacted me.
I also told the GOPe to get their money from Cheney, Kinzinger and Romney.
When thousands of us donate small amounts it adds up. Good job everybody!
AMEN!
So.
Just type STOP after their text msgs...worked for me.
Awesome opossum!
Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle... someone must get the unenvious task of reading the messages then if a single written word does the trick.
You are the better person for it and live up to your Free Republic identity.
I tip my hat and curtsey ever so slightly in your general direction.
Nicely played!
We deplorable’s love ❤️ her
Rep. Greene gets the “green” (Benjamins according to Omar the Camel Humper Islamic extremist) and the Left get “left out”.
Karma is cool and payback is a Bitch. Go “Large Marge” (if you remember who she was from the movies).
Large Marge? Large Marge is dead!
It was a night like tonight, ten years ago today...
High Five!
