MTG Called Out For Epic Self-Own After Hilariously Oblivious Rant About 'Meddling' In Elections

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene got mocked by internet users for an oblivious floor speech where she seemed to be attacking herself.

Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene was mocked profusely after she gave an oblivious floor speech about the sanctity of democracy and abuse of power in which she seemed to be attacking herself.

Greene, one of 147 Republicans who voted to overturn the 2020 election, issued her remarks after proposing an amendment to reduce the salary of U.S. Agency for International Development Administrator Samantha Power to $1, citing her involvement with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.


She said the following with no sense of irony whatsoever:

“A person who abuses her position in government to meddle in democratic elections should be nowhere near public office."

You can hear what she said in the video below.

Greene has continued to promote former President Donald Trump's falsehoods about the integrity of the 2020 election and backed those who attacked the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021 on the false premise the election was stolen.

The violence that erupted that day resulted in over 100 injuries to law enforcement and millions of dollars in damages, a reality Greene has continued to outright deny.

Moreover, the extent of her alleged involvement in the insurrection appeared to become clearer following a bombshell report from Rolling Stone.

In October 2021, Rolling Stone published an article stating several Trump supporters who helped plan the insurrection had multiple planning sessions with senior White House staffers and Republican members of Congress.

Sources who spoke to the magazine said they met with several high-profile Trump acolytes, including Representatives Paul Gosar of Arizona, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina, as well as Greene herself.

Greene was swiftly called out for her absolute hypocrisy and self-own.


Greene has a long history of downplaying the severity of the January 6 insurrection and backing those who participated in the attack.

In June 2022, Greene claimed ahead of a vote on a gun control measure that the committee and the federal government at large had "fragrantly" violated the rights of January 6 defendants who've been detained pre-trial, which made it sound as if these violations had a pleasant or sweet smell, a gaffe that did not go unnoticed.

Greene has made headlines in the past for visiting insurrectionists in jail, once telling Steve Bannon, former President Trump's ex-chief strategist, that the prisoners draw pictures of the American flag and sing the national anthem every evening while crying.

Greene has described the conditions in the jail as "deplorable" and claimed that unhoused people and Guantanamo Bay detainees enjoy better living conditions.

In November 2021, she said she had "never seen human suffering like I witnessed last night" after she was granted access to enter the D.C. Department of Corrections after months of trying.

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
