Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has come to the defense of the 2024 Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, as well as the now infamous “cat lady” demographic, in comments made outside the U.S. Capitol to CNN reporter Manu Raju amongst others.
The Georgia congressman, who struck up a close personal relationship with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy in recent years, posted the exchange on her X account shortly after. In it, she took several swipes at investigative reporter Laura Loomer and appeared to hit out at the party’s Vice Presidential candidate, Senator J.D. Vance, as well as President Donald J. Trump.
“I think we need to be focused on policies… not attacking people for their race, not attacking them because they might not have children and they love their pets. And I don’t want to have anything to do with that,” she said.
Trump mocked Harris’s recent public image conversion from Indian to black in a recent appearance. Vance is understood to be the sarcastic progenitor of the “cat lady” comments that Taylor Swift channeled in her Instagram endorsement of Harris.
Greene was speaking as part of a long-standing feud she has with journalist Laura Loomer.
“Laura Loomer’s outright lies, instability, and manic toxicity have no place in MAGA,” Greene wrote, adding in her statement: “I have concerns about [Loomer’s] rhetoric and her hateful tone. To me, many of the comments she makes and how she attacks Republicans like me… I think they’re a huge problem.”
Ironically, Greene recently personally attacked her colleague, Jasmine Crockett, quizzing, “Are your feelings hurt?” when Alexandria Ocasio Cortes berated her on the matter.
WATCH:
Our movement should lead on the issues the American people care about.
– Inflation
– The economy
– The invasion at our borderAnd the Biden/Harris regime is responsible, that’s what Republicans should be focused on.
Not identity politics or personal lives.

Stating the obvious, Greene argues that the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement should focus on inflation, the economy, and the border crisis. Former President Donald J. Trump spent a great deal of Tuesday’s presidential debate discussing the Biden-Harris government’s failures on these very issues—despite attempts by Kamala Harris and the ABC News moderators to focus the discussion on anything but.
A close ally of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)—who was ousted from power by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) last October—Greene recently suffered an embarrassing defeat after attempting to remove current Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). Greene’s motion to vacate was tabled by a 359 to 43 vote.
Despite the overwhelming vote against her, Greene claims the move was a “great victory.” However, just months prior, the Georgia Congresswoman warned against the very action she took, stating a motion to vacate against Johnson is “the dumbest thing that could happen.”
House Democrats gloated over baiting Greene into attempting to oust Johnson and pulling the rug out from under her. “Fresh bait always finds a fish,” one senior Democrat aide said at the time.
