Marjorie Taylor Greene Sad and Lonely After Disastrous Book Signing

Marjorie Taylor Greene released a book last November simply titled "MTG," and she held a book signing last week to meet her most hardcore supporters. The only problem is that virtually no one showed up - reports say that only a "handful" of people got in line to get her autograph. And this wasn't an event at some obscure bookstore in Georgia - this was at the Republican convention where she had a captive audience. Greene is clearly not as popular as she thinks, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

This past Thursday at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Thursday, of course, was the day that Donald Trump himself took the stage to give his acceptance speech. So it was a packed day, and Marjorie Taylor Greene decided that she was going to take advantage of this Pact Day at the RNC, scheduled a book signing for her book that was released in November of 2023, simply titled, MTG put out the notice to all of her supporters, I'm gonna do a book signing in a few hours, be there at this booth. They got the booth all set up, stacks of books everywhere. And then pretty much nobody showed up. According to the reports, only a handful of people showed up. And Marjorie Taylor Greene was so humiliated that when she saw the people lined up as she was walking to the to the booth, she ran away. Like did not want to be humiliated because only a couple people showed up to get her to sign her book. Let me read you this. This is from uh, salon.com reporter Amanda Martti. When she finally rolled in at 3:00 PM Green took one look at the underwhelming crowd, muttered something to her entourage, and then quickly hid in a nearby room. Eventually, some attendees did swing by curious about what had drawn the press. This added enough people to pull green out of hiding still. As we left, we spied a volunteer in a red shirt, offering people free copies as bait to draw them to green's table.

So apparently Marjorie Taylor Greene is not as popular as she thought she was. And it's not like she was doing a book signing at some backwoods Barnes and Noble. That's off the beaten path that nobody knows exists. This was at the RNC. She had a captive audience. These are her people, and her people didn't even wanna get her to sign a book that is beyond pathetic, but it's also very telling. Marjorie Taylor Greene believes that of course, she is one of the most popular people in American politics today. And in terms of name recognition, technically she is. The problem is not all popularity is good popularity. Just because people know who you are does not mean that they like you. And that is the part that Marjorie Taylor Greene has not put together. Yes, the media likes to have her come on their programs. Why? Because she's gonna say something crazy that's gonna garner headlines, that's gonna draw more attention to whatever program she goes on. That's why they invite her. But it's not because they love her. People don't tune in because they like her. They don't share viral clips of her on Twitter because she said something profound. It's 'cause she said something crazy. And they're mocking her. They're laughing at her. And that's the thing that a lot of these Republicans don't seem to understand. Marjorie Taylor Greene may be hugely popular in her district, but when

You pull her out of that, even at a Republican event, they don't want anything to do with her. Same thing with Matt Gaetz. Hugely popular down here in his district, but as soon as he steps foot outside, nope. Universal disgust. Jim Jordan, same, uh, same way. Ted Cruz, even though he's not that liked in Texas, he doesn't find popularity anywhere else. So a lot of these, you know, right wing Republican superstars are really just superstars in their own minds, maybe in their own districts. But as soon as they step foot into that real world, they find out real quick that people don't actually like them. If Marjorie Taylor Greene had the kind of popularity that typical, uh, typically comes along with that kind of name recognition, she would've been picked as Donald Trump's running mate. But she wasn't, because even Trump's camp knows outside of her district, most people in this country cannot even stand her.
