Pathetic Marjorie Taylor Greene Only Reported SIX Donors From Her Own District

In her first quarter financial disclosure forms, Marjorie Taylor Greene reported only 6 donors from her own district - which means only SIX people gave her more than $200 from her own district, and those six donations totaled only $2,300. This total doesn't include those who gave less than $200, but for someone who has over a million on hand, the lack of support from her own voters is very telling.

Well, the, uh, quarterly financials for the campaigns and candidates and sitting members of Congress, of course, have now all been filed. Reporters have had time to dig through them. And recently they finally got around to looking at Marjorie Taylor Green's financials. And it turns out that in the first quarter of this year, January, February, March, Marjorie Taylor Green only managed to pull in six, six big money donors from her district. And when I say big money, I'm not talking about the people who gave 5,000, 10,000, a hundred thousand dollars to her campaign. No, I'm only talking about voters that have to be reported because, or donors, excuse me, because they gave more than $200.

Six people from her district gave her a little more than $200. She only reported six donors, six na six named donors from her district. And again, they weren't giving thousands of dollars. The six donors combined from her own district gave her $2,300 between the six of them. So little under $400 average a piece. That's how pathetic her fundraising is within her own district. Now, that's not to say that she didn't get a lot of donors who gave under $200 because anybody who gives less than $200 to a campaign, they do not have to disclose their names on the financial. So maybe that happened, but actually a deeper dive into her financials has revealed that, uh, at $17,300, Arizonans donated the most to Green Texas, Georgia, Florida, and California were also in the top five states for donations. She also repaid herself $400,000 for a loan that she had given to her campaign, and the campaign still owes her $550,000.

They currently, according to her, have $966,000 cash on hand. So you, you could just repay yourself the rest of that loan if you wanted to. But you know, it's, you, do you, I guess, uh, reports do say that Marjorie Taylor Green, of course, is a millionaire. So she doesn't really have to worry about these numbers, but I am because it bugs the crap outta me, and it should bug the crap outta you too. And this is, and honestly, this isn't even just a Marjorie Taylor Green thing because we're seeing this in races, uh, on left and right, and we've seen it for many, many years. You have a candidate who goes out there, you know, running against usually a big name Republican that everybody hates Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham are the three that stand out because their democratic opponents raised millions and millions and millions of dollars only to lose spectacularly when

The election came. Because it turns out the money wasn't coming from inside the district. It was coming from all over the rest of the country, from people who can't even vote in the elections where they're funding the candidate. Here's what needs to happen. Well, money needs to be gotten outta politics a hundred percent. Like that's what we need to do, public funding of campaigns. But if we can't do that, then at the very least, we gotta restrict money. Like we have to restrict out-of-state money. And I know that the Supreme Court said, but the money you've given to candidates is free speech, but you can't have free speech if you're not allowed to speak in this certain area, right? Like, why would a donor in Texas give to Marjorie Taylor Green knowing that they can't vote in that district? That vote, by the way, is what the voice is according to the Supreme Court.

Not just the money, but the vote that comes with it. So therefore, you do not technically have a voice in this district. So what's it matter like, how are we letting this happen? Well, we're letting it happen because the people who give the money are the people who end up getting to make the rules because they're candidates will do whatever the money donors tell 'em to do. So we're just stuck in this endless, horrific cycle where Marjorie Taylor Green can still be financially speaking, at least unpopular in her own district, yet raise millions of dollars because idiots all over the country say, I like her a lot. She, she seems just like me. I'm a little bit nutty too. And they send her money and she keeps winning elections.
