Marjorie Taylor Greene is in the news again after receiving backlash for comparing Donald Trump to Jesus over the weekend.
“The Democrats and the fake news media want to constantly talk about, ‘Oh, President Trump is a convicted felon,’” she said while referring to Donald Trump’s hush money trial where he was guilty on 34 felony charges. “Well, you wanna know something? The man that I worship is also a convicted felon,” she said. “And he was murdered on a Roman cross.”
Now this isn’t the first time Greene has compared Trump to Jesus. Back in 2023, Greene In 2023, after the former president was taken into cudtify, she likened him to both Christ and the late South African President Nelson Mandela. “Nelson Mandela was arrested and served time in prison. Jesus, Jesus was arrested and murdered by the Roman government,” she said at the time.

Most recently, Greene has been in the headlines a lot since her viral moment with Jasmine Crockett where the two got into an argument but overall Crockett put her in place when she gave an insult to Greene’s body. After Greene called out Crockett’s “fake eyelashes” during a House Oversight Committee meeting earlier this month, Crockett went viral for hitting back at Greene with a remark about her “bleach-blonde, bad-built, butch body.”
While speaking on The View recently, Crockett said that she reacted that way because Greene is a “bully” and no one stands up to her.
“She basically just mimics Trump,” Crockett said. “And because she mimics Trump, she is one of their top fundraisers, period. She is the fifth-highest fundraising member of the Republican party behind those in leadership because she is rewarded for her antics and for the destruction of our institution.”

She continued, “These are people that not only were saying on Jan. 6, ‘Let’s literally, physically tear down the institution,’ but we have people that are tearing our institution apart from within. And that is a problem, and see, the thing is, it’s not about partisanship at all. It’s about respect. And it’s about making sure that you’re doing the work of the people.”
