Marjorie Taylor Greene Complains There's No Lobbyists For ‘Average White Men’

Marjorie Taylor Greene is back on her covert racism kick, claiming that the "average white male" has no one advocating on their behalf in Washington, D.C. Forget that the majority of both Houses of Congress are white men, along with the President and most of the Cabinet, and most state governments - pretty much every well-funded lobbying group is advocating for white men. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

If you were to ask Marjorie Taylor Green, which group of American citizens has at the worst, she would tell you probably quicker than you could even finish asking the question that the group that is probably the most underrepresented here in the United States are those poor white men.

During

A recent interview, Marjorie Taylor Green whined about the fact that there are no lobbyists out there fighting for the average white man. Let me read this. This is from Raw Story in a video shared by Twitter account, Patriot Takes which monitors right wing extremism online. Green complained that lobbyists in the US are just fighting for big corporations and industries and no one is taking care of regular Mr. And Mrs. American like mom and pop shops. The single moms trying to make it the guy, the MAGA Republican lamented that there's not people fighting for regular Americans, such as the average white male trying to climb the corporate ladder when his problem is being white and male. Yes. Trust me, as an average white man living in the United States, I've been an average white man, believe it or not, for my entire life. I can't tell you how hard it has been. I can't tell you how difficult I have the difficulties I have suffered climbing that corporate ladder. Yes, no, what is more persecuted than me, the average white man, according to Marjorie Taylor Greene. In reality, of course, I, honest to God, have never dealt with any persecution. I have seen firsthand, plenty of instances of white privilege on my behalf. You know, some, some youthful indiscretions I will call them, um, where basically because I'm just an average middle class white kid, nothing happened.

White men are not persecuted. But let's go back to her say like there's no lobbyists out there fighting for the white man. Who the hell do you think the lobbyists are out there fighting for Marjorie? It doesn't matter if you're talking about lobbyists for Exxon, lobbyists for the pharmaceutical industry, lobbyists for the nra, at the end of the day, they're all literally fighting for the average white man or the rich white man. 90% of the CEOs in this country are white men. Marjorie, the majority of people in the House of Representatives where you are, are white men. The majority of people in the Senate are white men. The majority of state governments, like each individual state government majority, is white men. I don't know if you've noticed this,

But since 2017, the person in the White House has been a white man. White men are overrepresented here in the United States, and just because you don't see a lobbyist going to Congress saying, yes, I'm here with the White Man Coalition. What are you doing for the whites? Just cuz you don't see that type of person, doesn't mean that the lobbyist for Exxon are the lobbyists for Pfizer and Merck. They're not out there fighting for the white people. The NRA is fighting for the white man, Marjorie, because those are the only people they care about. So enough with this like racist crap, which is what this is, every lobbyist out there is fighting for white men. Whether they say it openly or not, the policies they are advocating for are not for the benefit of women. They're not for the benefit of African Americans or Latinas. They're not for the benefit of the L G B T Q community. The lobbyists you see walking through those halls every day, Marjorie, they're there because white men want them to be there fighting for them.
