Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene made a splash over the weekend after declaring her unwavering support for former President Donald Trump in his bid for re-election in 2024. Speaking at the Putnam County Republican Party’s Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner, Greene gave the keynote speech, during which she praised Trump’s policies and urged attendees to embrace his vision of an “America First” agenda.
“I will shamelessly tell you this one, I am solidly supporting Donald J. Trump for president in 2024,” Greene said. “And I’ll tell you why. I would give anything for mean tweets right now. Anything for mean tweets, because here’s what I know they come with. They come with world peace. That’s something we had under President Trump. They come with secure strong borders and a border wall that will be finished high, finish long and will be safe for America.”
Washington has a system designed to keep people like me from speaking out.
Unfortunately for the DC establishment, there is nothing they can do to get me to stop telling the truth and doing what’s right for my constituents and this country because I refuse to do that. pic.twitter.com/cdnerbEKSH

She went on to say that Trump’s tweets came with “supporting law enforcement and low crime,” and that she loved the economy that the former president had built. Greene added that she was a compassionate person, but she was also loyal and cared about her family and friends. For her, America was her home, and she looked at all Americans as her family and friends, regardless of their skin color or ethnicity.
“I’m sick and tired of American taxpayer dollars being spent on everybody else,” Greene said. “While our streets are covered with homeless people, our people are being murdered and dying and poisoned with drugs and our kids’ education is gone in the toilet.”
She called for an “America First” agenda, thanking Elon Musk for reinstating Trump on social media and saying that she looked forward to his return to the platform and his first “mean tweet.” Greene also claimed that Trump “has a list of the people that need to be cleaned out. And they need to be fired. And some of them need to be prosecuted in Washington, DC.”
Recent polls show that Trump continues to surge in popularity over other Republican contenders for president in 2024, and many GOP lawmakers have aligned themselves with Trump’s policies and rhetoric in the hopes of tapping into his base of support.
