Until now, Greene relied heavily on small-dollar donors as well as on some culturally conservative PACs focused on opposing abortion or backing gun rights.
The speaker wanted them to attend his event being held on Greene’s behalf. To be labeled a host, each PAC paid $2,500 while individual lobbyists forked over $1,000 for host status. It was Greene’s first fundraiser in Washington, she said, thanking McCarthy for his hospitality. “It went well. I’m grateful for his support, and I was grateful for the people that came to support me,”
When it came to the annual Pentagon bill, Greene navigated the dynamics like a seasoned veteran of the House. She supported efforts by her former close friends in the Freedom Caucus not to just accept the traditionally bipartisan National Defense Authorization Act after it had been approved 58 to 1 in the Armed Services Committee.

Marjorie Taylor Greene believes rap videos 'glorify drugs and violence' but attempts to participate in hip-hop culture in a MAGA-themed music video
Florida-based rapper Kurt Jantz, who goes by Forgiato Blow, released a new music video on Sunday dedicated to the Georgia representative.
"Marjorie, I really love what you do/Keep calling RINOs out/No one does it better than you, huh?" Jantz raps. Throughout the video, Greene silently nods her head next to Jantz or remains in the background, sitting on a throne or atop a red convertible.
It's unclear when the Georgia representative had time to participate in the music video's filming. Jantz told Insider in an email that he made the song to "honor" Greene's "hustle & hard work."
Greene's spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment sent over the weekend.
The representative said on Twitter that the song was a way to "promote the Protect Children's Innocence Act," which proposes a federal ban on gender-affirming care for minors. The song features a snippet of Greene's transphobic statements, accusing Democrats of "grooming children" and that President Joe Biden supports "sexualizing children" and having "transgender surgeries."
- This is not the first time Greene has tried to insert herself into hip-hop culture. Back in January, she posted a promotional video of herself featuring an instrumental of Dr. Dre's hit single, "Still D.R.E." Dre disapproved of Greene's use of his music.
- In a statement to Newsweek, Greene said, "most rap videos exploit women, glorify drugs and violence, but Forgiato Blow's new video is about calling out the left's grooming agenda and protecting our children from genital mutilation."
Politics in music is evergreen. But Jantz's song reflects a relatively new brand of heavy-handed, MAGA-centric musical numbers that have cropped up in the wake of the Trump administration. . ."
