MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted and then deleted a post linking to her son Derek's Venmo account, telling her supporters to buy her son "a beer" for his birthday.

Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene is being criticized after she tweeted and then deleted a post linking to her son Derek's Venmo account and told her supporters to buy him "a beer" for his birthday.

Greene, whose ex-husband Perry Greene is the father of her daughters Lauren and Taylore, reportedly has a net worth close to $22 million. She removed the post not long after it drew a wave of critical responses.


She wrote, linking to her son's Venmo account:

“It’s my baby boy’s birthday!! He’s 22!! I love him so much! Buy him a beer!”

But social media users, anticipating a backlash, took screenshots.

She was swiftly called out.



It remains uncertain whether Greene personally authored the post or if someone else used her account to direct funds to her son without her knowledge. After the post was deleted, Greene did not follow up with a public birthday message for her son.

Because Derek’s Venmo account was set to private, it’s unknown how much money he may have received from the unusual request. Public records show his birthday is indeed in April.

The post could also draw attention from ethics watchdogs. While it was shared on Greene’s personal account, House rules prohibit members from soliciting gifts. According to the House Ethics Committee: “A Member, officer, or employee may not ask for a gift for themselves or someone else, even if they could otherwise accept it under a Gift Rule exception.”

Greene is in good company when it comes to her colleague, fellow MAGA adherent Lauren Boebert, considering Boebert also once came under fire for having set up a Cameo page to allow fans to purchase video messages from her.

None of us, at this point, should be surprised by the MAGA grift.

Trump Dragged After Declaring That He's 'Bringing Columbus Day Back' Despite It Never Going Away

In another empty gesture to appeal to his Christian nationalist and White supremacist base, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump vowed to bring back Columbus Day.

But just like when Trump "brought back" Christmas, Columbus Day is a holiday that never went away. There's a difference between not everyone celebrating a holiday and a holiday being eliminated that Trump and his followers seem to not understand.

Fox News Host Ripped After Claiming Trump's Presidency Is 'Normal' For Bonkers Reason

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade had people raising eyebrows after he claimed President Donald Trump's presidency is a "normal" one because of the various championship-winning sports teams who have visited the White House as of late.

One day before the Philadelphia Eagles were scheduled to visit the White House—and shortly after Trump hosted the World Series champion Dodgers—Kilmeade argued that because the Dodgers had been welcomed there and Trump recently interacted with basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal, everything was "normal," in his words.
