Marjorie Taylor Greene, along with a handful of other right-wing extremists who joined Congress with the 2020 elections, brings to the job an unusual set of skills, the predominant one being the ability and willingness to say the quiet part out loud. That would explain why she has no qualms about declaring her party and herself in support of Christian Nationalism.

It's not a surprise to anyone who's been paying attention that there is a subset of Americans — and thus, a subset of voters, and of politicians — who believe that the promise of religious freedom in the U.S. Constitution carries an unspoken clause making that freedom apply to Christians alone. Still, it's always a little stunning when someone in a position of power actually declares that "unspoken" part aloud.
On the Catturd podcast, Marjorie Taylor Greene said the GOP is the party of Christian nationalism and Christian nationalist policies "serve everyone."

"I believe that Republicans need to prove to the American people that we are the party of American nationalism. Christian nationalism. I'm a Christian, I have no problem saying I'm a Christian nationalist, and I think that's an identity that we need to embrace, because those are the policies that serve every single American, no matter how they vote."
People who are being denied access to abortion care, and those who are wondering if their marriages will be safe if the Supreme Court decides to re-examine the Obergefell decision, and those who worry that Christian beliefs will be pressed on their non-Christian kids in the public school system, among others, would probably beg to differ.
In fact, so would pretty much anyone who actually believes in the wall of separation between church and state that's enshrined in he First Amendement.

MTG really is a total clueless idiot redneck whackjob who never ever should have been elected to public office to begin with. Says loads about her voter base. I sincerely pray she is a one term jerk that gets voted out of office along with those other redneck losers Cawthorne and Boebert.
Does she have any idea of what she's saying?
Yes, Greene knows exactly what she is saying and what it implies...
Only as far as what she thinks her base wants to hear.
probly not , she is just being a typical local politician in this case and saying what she thinks the locals that might vote for her want to hear .
She in no way speaks for any party as a whole .
Who does represent the gop "As a whole" today? Trumpo? Desantis?
Louis Gohmert? Loren Bobart? Sarah Palin? Margorie Taylor Greene?
being im not a republican , i cant answer that , just i DO know those dems elected dont really represent the whole of the dem party . only a small fraction of a faction , which is usually true in politics
