Summary

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene asked her MAGA followers to send money to her 22-year-old son via Venmo to “buy him a beer.”

Critics slammed the request as a “grift,” noting her estimated $21.93 million net worth.

Social media users across the spectrum questioned why a wealthy congresswoman would solicit money for her adult son.

After the uproar, Greene deleted the post. The incident followed reports that she made significant Treasury trades before Trump’s tariff announcement, prompting further scrutiny over her financial conduct.

      There’s no fucking way she was a child. She had to have been born in her final form from the asshole of some ruminant high in the mountains during a lightning storm on a wicked night in the middle of winter.

        Well, the truth is she was thawed when discovered on a glacier.

        She’s the last surviving Neanderthal.

      Some might say it helped contribute to her extreme detachment from humanity and her overwhelming senses of entitlement, greed, and paranoia. I’m not saying all trust funders are nepo babies, but all nepo babies are trust funders.

        Agreed. I’ve known some really wealthy people, some in my family, who were really good, kind, and generous people.

        She ain’t one.
