    Let's see what MTG used her campaign donations for...

    Campaign Donors Bought MTG a $92,000 Vehicle

    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene used donors’ campaign contributions to buy herself a luxury vehicle worth over $92,000, FEC records show.


    The expenditure will prove controversial as the May 24 primary approaches, not just because of the expensive, swanky nature of the vehicle, but because Greene’s second biggest source of donations is retired Americans—meaning she effectively raided donors’ Social Security checks to buy a tricked-out vehicle from a Buick/GMC dealership.

    OpenSecrets.org shows that Taylor Greene’s second biggest “industry” donating to her was “retired,” meaning senior citizens who are increasingly finding themselves cash-strapped as Bidenflation continues to bite hard have been bankrolling her campaign expenditures, including on this high-end vehicle.

    It’s not clear quite what car or truck MTG would have bought for $92,000.

    As of the time of writing, the website of the dealership in question shows no vehicles for sale with a sticker price above $81,860. That would get you a brand spanking new 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 HD AT4 truck complete with leather upholstery, two first row LCD monitors, a Premium GMC Infotainment System, and six speakers. So whatever MTG bought, it’s swankier than this.

    Playing around on the GMC website, it looks like she ordered a 2022 GMC Yukon XL SUV with just about every available amenity and add-on.

    You’ve got to wonder how old ladies living in California, Texas, or Florida—because as noted, MTG raises more money in each of these states than she does in Georgia—contemplating having to switch over to cat food to make their Social Security checks stretch so they can occasionally toss $5 here or there to MTG would feel about this.

    Because spending campaign money on stuff like this isn’t about sticking it to Nancy Pelosi, impeaching Joe Biden, fighting the woke left, or anything like that. It’s just about MTG according lavish benefits on herself, enjoying the fruits of being a politician, and self-dealing in a luxurious, and legal—but not necessarily ethical—way.

    And this is one of the major problems with The Republican Party. They don't back true Patriots and Pro-Americans.

    Marjorie Taylor Greene loves Russia and did everything she could to stop Americans being held hostage in Russia from being released.

    Trevor Reed says it's 'embarrassing' Marjorie Taylor Greene delayed vote on a resolution asking to free him from Russian detention: 'I better not ever see that happen again to any other American'
    https://www.businessinsider.com/tre...greene-delaying-vote-russian-detention-2022-5
    • Trevor Reed spoke to CNN's Jake Tapper Friday about his release from Russian detention.
    • Marjorie Taylor Greene delayed a vote last year on a resolution asking for Reed's freedom.
    • Reed criticized Greene, saying the Rep was "embarrassing."
    Trevor Reed, a US Marine recently released from Russian detention after spending almost 1000 days in the country, criticized Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for impeding a vote on a resolution calling for his release.

    "I thank them for voting against a bill that was only about getting American political prisoners out of Russia," Reed said sarcastically during a CNN interview with Jake Tapper.

    The resolution, H. Res. 186, was introduced in March 2021, days before Reed's hearing in Russian courts. However, Greene, in protest of President Joe Biden's COVID-19 stimulus package, asked for roll call votes, which delayed the vote on Reed's resolution.

    "How do you justify that? That's embarrassing to me that anyone who represents the United States would vote against something … like that. I'm sure that the Russians love that. I'm sure that, you know, they're all big fans of all of those congressmen who did that."


    Reed also called the actions "completely unacceptable."

    "And I better not ever see that happen again to any other Americans," Reed said, "because I promise that I will be at every single campaign that that person runs for the rest of their life to tell everyone that they did that."

    Reed's father, Joey Reed, also took a shot at Greene and called those who voted against the resolution "that small group of idiots" and asked if they "voted for Putin."

    "Marjorie Taylor Greene is not our representative," Joey Reed said.

    The Reeds have been vocal in their criticisms. They said the Marine Corps did not lobby to free their son. They also said they were not "appreciative" of Sen. Ted Cruz's lack of assistance.

    Trevor Reed was detained in Moscow in 2019 after being convicted of attacking Russian police. He reportedly suffered during his stay in a Russian prison, including getting a broken rib and catching COVID-19.

    He was released on April 27 as part of a prisoner exchange between Russia and the US. Reed was swapped for Konstantin Yaroshenko, a Russian pilot sentenced for drug smuggling.

    Representatives for the Reed family and Marjorie Taylor Greene did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
