Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) told one of her constituents that she “hates America” during a town hall in her district on Tuesday.
At the town hall Greene read questions from constituents displayed on a screen. A questioner identified as ‘Christina’ asked about Donald Trump’s tariff policy and Elon Musk unconstitutional raid of the federal government.
“What are you doing to protect us in the 14th district from the damage and extreme hardship of Trump’s tariffs, gutting Social Security and Medicaid, DOGE gutting our government with a chainsaw approach the utter destruction and ignoring of our Constitution and rule of law,” the question read. “He is not well physically or mentally and he’s making nonsensical orders based on his whim of the day. How are you going to rein him in to protect us?”
Greene responded by scolding the questioner saying, “I’m sure, Christina, you think that you’re pretty smart. But the reality is you are being completely brainwashed by whatever source of news you listen to.”
“The facts are this, no one has lost their Social Security. No one has lost their benefits. Criminals have lost it. Yes. Fraudsters have lost it. Yes. And illegal aliens have lost it. Yep! And if you wanna defend those people, you hate our country and you hate America,” she continued.
Greene then doubled down on her support for Trump despite her constituent’s concern.
“I am going to stand by my president. I am going to support my president. And I’m gonna fight for his agenda with everything I have in Congress,” she said. “And that’s what I’m gonna do for the 14th district because I know for a fact you are gonna have more money in your pocket. You are going to have more jobs available. You’re gonna have a stronger economy, and you are gonna have safe cities and communities to live in, and you’ll be safe from terrorists, cartels, and criminals.”
