Marjorie Taylor Greene Being Kicked Out by White Supremacist Fuentes }Not White Enough
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene Being Kicked Out of her Position by White Extreme Right Republicans |
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was once a darling of the far-right. Apparently not anymore.
Republican Rep. Greene disavowed white nationalist livestreamer Nick Fuentes, who’s now getting cozy with disgraced rapper Ye (formerly known as Kanye), “and his racist, anti-semitic ideology” in a tweet last month. Ever since, Fuentes’ followers—known as “groypers”—have viciously turned on her.
Greene’s tweet was prompted by backlash to a dinner hosted last month by former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago featuring Ye, who is in the midst of a very public antisemitic meltdown, and Fuentes.
The dinner catapulted Fuentes into national headlines and exposed him—and his friends in high places—to an unprecedented level of scrutiny.
But Greene’s condemnation of Fuentes came about 10 months too late. She was widely criticized for speaking at his America First Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida, earlier this year but brushed off the criticism, claiming simply that she didn’t know who he was. (Trump used the same excuse following the controversial dinner).
While Fuentes and his army of groypers might have been OK with Greene claiming not to know him, they were not at all happy about her recent disavowal of him—and say it’s the latest evidence that she’s sold out her far-right fans and betrayed their white nationalist “America First” movement. Only weeks earlier, she rebuffed her far-right colleagues in Congress by calling on them to back Rep. Kevin McCarthy in his bid for re-election as House Speaker.
