 Marjorie Taylor Greene Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has dominated headlines over the past few days with a series of moves that are shaking up both her standing in Congress and her image across the political spectrum. Most notably, Greene stunned her GOP colleagues on Saturday by issuing a passionate plea on X urging American support for Gaza, accusing Israel of genocide. The Independent and Arab News both cover this break from Republican orthodoxy, as Greene condemned the “day and night” bombing of Gaza civilians and questioned ongoing U.S. financial support for Israel. She wrote, “I don’t want to pay for genocide in a foreign country against a foreign people for a foreign war that I had nothing to do with,” a statement that enraged MAGA hardliners and drew immediate backlash, including from far-right activist Laura Loomer. Loomer’s response—criticizing Greene’s stance and immigration comments—was echoed by other conservative voices, showing just how polarizing Greene’s shift is among her former allies.

This isn’t Greene’s first major departure from the Republican line lately. UnHerd notes her recent alliance with Bernie Sanders to push for ending the famine in Gaza and her call for the full release of government files relating to Jeffrey Epstein. Greene’s bombastic persona and willingness to break ranks on foreign policy continue to make her a fixture in both mainstream and alternative media. Just last week, Greene blasted Representative Randy Fine after he suggested starving Gaza until hostages are released—a move she labeled “disgraceful” due to its targeting of civilians.

Turning to business matters, Quiver Quantitative reports that Greene recently filed her latest financial disclosure. She remains one of the wealthiest members of Congress, with a net worth estimated at $24.8 million, including significant holdings in Taylor Commercial Inc., PMLTD Inc., and Congressional Federal Credit Union, plus roughly $2.7 million in publicly traded assets. Her Q2 fundraising totals—$486,000—show continued grassroots support, and her campaign spending for the period reached $714,000.

On the cultural front, Greene made waves again by airing a video of drag performer Lil Miss Hot Mess during a committee hearing while advocating to defund PBS. Greene called the performer a “monster” and baselessly labeled her a “child predator,” prompting Lil Miss Hot Mess to publicly clap back, calling Greene the real threat to American values and education, covered by The Pink News.

Greene’s social media presence remains strong; Rome Reporter highlighted her August 27 post addressing a local tragedy involving children and reminding her Georgia constituents of available services—a brief moment of routine constituent outreach amid her otherwise contentious political week.

There were no significant committee meetings or public hearings involving Greene in Congress this week, based on official Congressional Record reports. However, rumors briefly swirled at an August 20 hearing where another member hinted at possible insider trading allegations directed at Greene—this has not been substantiated by any major media outlets and should be regarded as speculative at this time.
