Continue reading to learn what she posted that elicited such a strong reaction.Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene recently celebrated her 50th birthday by posting a photo of herself in a swimsuit on Instagram. People had a lot of reactions to the picture. Some praised her, but others thought it was a little too much. A few people even suspected that the image had been altered.
The bikini photo comes just days after Rep. Jasmine Crockett blasted Greene’s “bleached blonde bad built butch body” at a contentious meeting on Capitol Hill.Greene battled with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Crockett during the House Oversight Committee hearing on holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.
Greene questioned whether the Democratic members of the committee had hired Manhattan Criminal Court Justice Juan Merchan’s daughter, who is now presided over Donald Trump’s hush money trial. Crockett inquired about the significance of Greene’s remark, to which a person responded, “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.”
Ranking member Jamie Raskin slammed the remark, stating, “That’s beneath even you, Ms. Greene.” AOC then ordered that Greene’s remark be removed from the record, condemning her for disparaging Crockett’s appearance. Crockett requested clarification on what constitutes permissible discussion material during hearings following a heated debate between Greene, Ocasio-Cortez, and Committee Chair James Comer.
She inquired, “I’m just interested, to better comprehend your decision. If someone on this committee starts talking about someone’s bleach blonde, bad-built, butch figure, that’s not engaging in personality, right?” This exchange was widely seen as amusing, and it quickly spread on social media. Greene, seeking to control the narrative, took to X (previously Twitter) and posted: “Yes, my body is built and muscular. NOT with nips, tucks, plastic, or silicone, but by living a healthy lifestyle.”
However, many individuals responded to her with criticism. One individual wrote, “Yes, through a healthy lifestyle of lying, harassing school shooting victims, and cheating on your husband, mixed in with not doing your job.”Another person asked, “Do you remember when you started it? We do. Nice try. The hate you spew, not your physical appearance, is what makes you ugly, regardless of how much you work out or lie.
A third wrote, “Hello, Marjorie Taylor Greene. Perhaps your body is powerful, but you are still dead inside, and your spirit is black. You may have brawn, but you lack intelligence and kindness. But, fine, continue body-shaming others. It will simply make you a worse person than you already are.” On Memorial Day, Greene posted a photo commemorating her 50th birthday. She posed in a blue bikini and a cowboy hat, smiling into the camera.
In the caption, the Georgia congresswoman enumerated her achievements. Her accomplishments included being the first person in her family to graduate from college, having three children, and establishing a number of successful enterprises. She also complimented herself on her ability to balance her pastimes with her job obligations. She described it as “God’s grace that I don’t deserve but am thankful for beyond words.”
She additionally stated, “Many people go into their 50th birthday thinking it’s a bad thing, but I truly feel it’s wonderful, and I’m so excited and grateful God let me live 50 years and do so many things.” She concluded her caption by writing, “And God willing, I’ll passionately continue each step, following Him wherever the road leads.” The image elicited conflicting comments. Some people did not like the photo; one person said, “If that is a butch-built bod, I’ll take one, please.”
“HBD, MTG.”Another guy commented, “Happy birthday to our American badasses! “Thank you for fighting so hard for us.” Some users, however, were unconvinced of the photo’s editing, with one saying, “I didn’t think there were enough filters to make that face look good.” Another added, “Marge is in tears after Jasmine called her body butch lol. Having said that, I seriously doubt that this is her body. Look at her feet; those aren’t our toes! “Everyone knows she has funky toes.” A third person commented, “This shot is OBVIOUSLY altered,” and another added, “Someone edited her picture. Your arms are large! Now they appear lean.”
