Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) appears to be changing her public approach to politics, leading to speculation that the famously far-right member of Congress may be attempting a “remake” or “rebranding.”
On Wednesday, Greene picked a Twitter fight with fellow Freedom Caucus member Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) after he tweeted a message congratulating her for her committee assignments on the House Homeland Security and Oversight Committees. Gaetz had led the right-wing alliance that blocked Kevin McCarthy’s speakership for 14 rounds of voting.
“Bravo,” Gaetz tweeted. “Bravo @mtgreenee!”
Greene, who had broken from her usual allies to support McCarthy’s speakership, responded with a tweet of her own. “Too bad we’re weeks behind after you spent a week only getting MTV from 5 to 1,” she wrote.
The exchange has led to speculation that Greene may be attempting to change her public approach to politics. Greene had been stripped of her committee assignments in 2021 over violent and racist rhetoric, but her support of McCarthy’s speakership effectively guaranteed her return to the committees.
Greene’s supporters have praised her for her new approach. “She’s going to do amazing work for the people on these key committees she has EARNED,” one supporter tweeted.
It remains to be seen how Greene’s “remake” or “rebranding” will play out in the coming months. However, the exchange between Greene and Gaetz has certainly raised eyebrows and sparked speculation among political observers.
