The right-wing's AOC, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene surprised everyone when she announced yesterday she will resign from Congress in January. Left unreported is how well the Georgia firebrand has done since she arrived in Congress five years ago.
The conservative American Thinker website reported July 31:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican representing Georgia, built her brand by claiming to fight for forgotten Americans. She stormed into Congress on the promise of taking down the elites and draining the swamp. But when you follow the money, a very different story unfolds. It looks a lot more like Wall Street self-enrichment than service to Main Street conservatives.
In 2021, Greene entered Congress with an estimated net worth of $700,000.
By April 2025, her net worth had ballooned to $22 million, driven largely by stock market investments that consistently outperformed even seasoned Lower Manhattan pros.
That kind of rapid financial ascent raises red flags.
After all, the average congressional salary is $174,000. Yet Greene somehow turned her time in public office into a personal fortune. This wasn’t by launching a business, but by making remarkably well-timed trades. She’s claimed not to handle her own investments, but the numbers and timing suggest a different reality.
In 2021, Greene bought shares in corporate behemoths like Visa and Walmart. These are companies she publicly criticized for promoting progressive causes. Her public statements painted these firms as enemies of conservative values, but her private trades told a different story. Those investments paid off handsomely.
By 2023, Greene’s portfolio was outperforming that of many of her congressional peers, earning returns of 18.6%. This level of success doesn’t align with the image of a grassroots outsider who supposedly shuns the elite’s ways.
Fast forward to 2025, and the pattern has only grown more striking. She movedinto Treasury notes as market uncertainty spiked — classic defensive positioning.
Then, in April, she made purchases in Apple, Amazon, and NVIDIA just days before Donald Trump’s Liberation Day tariffs were paused. This pumping of the brakes triggered an epic market rally. Greene also purchased Lululemon and Dell, reaping significant gains after the tariff freeze, with some stocks jumping over 30%....
On April 8, during the market crash, she also bought shares of Palantir, a data analytics firm that, just nine days later, landed a lucrative federal contract with ICE. Greene sits on the Homeland Security Committee....
Good grub, if you can get it.

Yep! Republicans can be counted on to be crooks.
So now she cashes outta the House seat. I never liked her inauthenticity and, frankly, difficult to look at as well.
She's scamming the pension too. She has alot in common with Bennie Thompson.
I saw her as a grifter from the start.
She was probably being schooled by Nancy Pelosi.
Most lifers in Congress have been scamming America. That is both sides in on it. But, we keep voting the same people in and hoping for different results.
@8:13, More like Reps. Rouzer our McCaul
A grifter on the level of Bennie.
But, we keep voting the same people in and hoping for different results.
So you are in favor of term limits?
Omar Ilhan and AOC have made more money than MTG.
All politicians. You have been brainwashed.
MTG became a Rep. on 3Jan2021. She is leaving on5Jan2026 two days past the five years required for pension and full benefits. It never ends!
This is nothing new. It’s surprising in my that this is being released now, after she disagreed with the president. Had she toed the line this would never have been released and she would still be a MAGA champion.
She probably just reads the comments on ZeroHedge so she is more informed than 99% of the population.
And Bennie Thompson.
Fixed: A grifter who learned from the Greatest Grifter: Trump
There may be no real men or women of honor left in our country. Watching so-called Conservatives lap up all of that PPP & other government welfare that so many of them did not need or deserve proved this. You could always count of Democrats to be grifters, but now both sides are the same.
Every family better just look out for the best interest of they and theirs because none of these pols have an ounce of integrity left. And unless it benefits them personally, they don’t give a ____ about us.
"Quitting is leading too". - Nelson Mandela
I am inspired by those who are able to relinquish power, acknowledge mistakes, accept that no one is irreplaceable and move on.
Going forward.....America First. Let freedom ring.
MTG has read the Tea Leaves !
The Republican Party is done after the mid terms ! The Dems will sweep ‘26. & ‘28. With the damage done by Trump it might be 2040 before the Republicans can get their party back.
She’s the best politician in a generation. She played insane Jewish space laser lady while trading stocks making bank and now gets a small pension do life all the while she can go lobby and make real money. She got this right for herself
andrea the giant stated out a babyface and eventually became a heel. so did bleached blond , big booty majorie.
at least andre was not fake but majorie was.
Watching so-called Conservatives lap up all of that PPP & other government welfare that so many of them did not need or deserve proved this.
So the Barksdalers and Ladd are now conservatives?
@7:47 AM
I agree 100% that’s why people who aren’t America First (like RINOs/KF) despise her and viciously attack her personally but can’t actually argue anything she says.
I am America First, just not YOUR version of America First who sees a Jew under every problem or wants to go back to the 1850s.

"Most lifers in Congress have been scamming America."
No, 8:16, she was not a 'lifer in congress'. Like that bowling-ball headed woman that landed the top job in our state education department, as soon as she managed to get vested, she's retiring.
Green was pissed because she was irrelevant and, like Rand Paul, that chapped her real bad, so, again like Paul, she began acting like a spoiled child publicly and professionally.
Carey Wright, our Education Department leader, hung around almost a year past her vesting date, cleaning up loose ends and probably reminiscing over all the millions in contracts she had gifted to her Maryland friends. In four or five years, she'll be receiving a real nice PERS annual cash-out.
I'm going to close this post now before I get a headache thinking about Bennie, Cindy and Roger.
She couldn't pick up a satchel full of gold bars, though. And didn't manage to build .05% of Nancy's stock money. Spin that propeller on your yarmulka again.
Good riddance to MTG. I'll never forget the 2019 video of her stalking and haranguing an 18-year-old Parkland school shooting survivor, asking why he supported so-called "red flag" gun control laws and accusing him of "using kids" to "attack the Second Amendment." She's as twisted, devoid of compassion and crooked as Trump and looks like a horse with bleached hair.
This isn't new. All politicians come out richer than they were when they went in because they control what makes people money. She played the game like just about every other crook in Washington does but she'll be chastised for it because she's a woman playing a white man's game.
Exactly.
It's been like this for decades. Both D's and R's are crooks. It's just like wresting: they yell at each other in the ring and have dinner after the show. It's a performance that America has been suckered into forever. As long as we keep arguing about which party is better they'll keep fleecing us.
@9:29 wow you have a very twisted version of reality. Both MTG and Rand Paul entered politics for ideological reasons. They disn’t do it for a grift. Rand had a successful medical pratice an MTG had successful CrossFit franchises. Neither was hurting financially. Both had real world experience outside of politics. They stand up for what they believe is right for the American people. As crazy as it may seem to someone as twisted as you, there are actual righteous reasons to voice legislative protests. More free shit for illegals is not a good reason. Mutilating and grooming children and allowing mentally ill men in dresses to enter the girls bathroom, is also not one of those reasons.
Rand Paul is a good Senator. Asks tough questions when others won't at times. Has a different perspective on some issues but that's ok.
Hello 9:40 - I didn't say she and Paul are grifters. I said they became irrelevant and that chapped their asses.
Regardless of their initial intent, they are both irrelevant and both of their asses are still chapped - thus their behavior. When politicians realize they are irrelevant, they start behaving like rats on acid.
Members of the Legislature can legally engage in insider trading, whereas the Judicial and Executive branches cannot. How many do you think invested in Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J when they mandated that US citizens get vaccinated?
Majorie Greene comes from a very wealthy family.
She also raised an impressive campaign war chests. You need to find out how the excess and cannot be used in the future or spent.
Y'all really need to learn about what has to be reported as a candidate. And, you need to know that anyone in Congress has an "edge" on investing simply by knowing what policies will pass or change. We've had one scandal about that and frankly, it didn't get fixed and look at a President's " blind trust" current limitations.
We lose our freedom in sentences in bills and it's always what we don't know that hurts us.
Just happy to see any politician with the guts to say I have a brain and can make my own decisions. I don’t take orders from anyone other than the voters when they cast their ballots. Fuck the Republicans and Fuck the Dems.
I agree KF. Rand is not a party hack. Quite, frankly, political parties have become a business. They are both rich. Those who walk in lock step with their party on every issue raise my suspicion. The ones who get slammed for not goosestepping with their party, are worth a reviewing of the voting history by issues. I cannot vote for anyone that tells a bald face lie he or she has to know is a lie, especially if that lie puts one hair on the head of an American citizen in danger from other than male pattern baldness or chemo!

Example # 12,343,795 of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Trump's net worth went down in his first term. The net worth of Obama and Clinton went up over 100x.
Why don't the anti-Semites who post here move to Iran and have fund with the other Jew haters?
Trump whether you like him or not has done two incredibly important things. First he has exposed the media for what they are, lying hypocritical leftist spewing nonstop propaganda. We already know the dimocrats are depraved socialists. The second and perhaps more importantly he has exposed all of the RINO’s in the Republican Party, which sad to say is most of them. Two of which are from right here in Mississippi.
It's why all politicians in DC end up rich. Look at Bennie Thompson. The man was a Hinds County supervisor when he got elected. Then on a Congressional salary he increased his net worth into the tens of millions.
