Some of Marjorie Taylor Greene's most controversial statements, claims

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) speaks at a press conference at the U.S. Capitol Building on May 18, 2023 in Washington, DC.

ATLANTA - Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, has become one of the most polarizing figures in American politics, frequently drawing national attention for her inflammatory rhetoric, conspiracy theories, and provocative social media posts.

Since taking office in 2021, Greene has made a series of controversial remarks and false claims—ranging from denying mass shootings and promoting debunked conspiracies to making offensive comments about race, religion, and gender identity.

Her most recent controversial statement was made within a few hours of Pope Francis' death on April 21. In a post on X, Greene wrote: "Today, there were major shifts in global leaderships. Evil is being defeated by the hand of God." Although Greene did not name the pope, many people assumed her post was about the popular pontiff.
