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.

    LOL .world mods strike again!

    No joking about effectively resisting fascists allowed!

    When politicians murder via proxy, via systems, its totally fine and just the news.

    When people joke about violence aimed back at them?

    DAS IST VERBOTTEN!

    Go fuck yourselves.

      Except murder via proxy is also not fine. I just suspect the mods can do as little about it as we can.
