8 times Marjorie Taylor Greene embarrassed herself on the job

The House Oversight Committee announced on Nov. 21, that Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene will be heading a new subcommittee to work alongside the Department of Government Efficiency. DOGE is headed by Donald Trump’s new propaganda minister Elon Musk and billionaire weirdo Vivek Ramaswamy.

Greene’s ascendance to chairing her own House committee is a perfect encapsulation of the fail-upward mediocrity that the Republican Party and Trump represent. Greene was stripped of her committee assignments in 2021 due to her history of unhinged behavior. After the Republican Party retook a thin majority in the House, in 2023, and in a deal for her support, then-speaker Kevin McCarthy gave Greene committee assignments.

Since that time Greene has done what she’s always done: Embarrass America and the Republican Party with her ignorance and vitriol. But more importantly, she constantly embarrasses herself. Let us count just some of the ways.
