Like her main man Donald Trump….
Crazies CAN get donations….
Politico points out she’s gonna need every dollar she she can find….
GREENE RAKES IN THE GREEN: We have a scoop for you this morning: Freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), the controversial MAGA firebrand, raised over $3.2 million in the first three months of this year, according to a source close to her campaign. That eye-popping haul came from over 100,000 individual donors, for an average donation of $32. Greene did not self-fund this quarter, the source added.
That is a staggering sum of money for a House member, especially for a freshman who is more than a year out from her next election. For context, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), then a freshman, raked in $728,000 in the first quarter of 2019.
Greene appears to have actually benefited from all the controversies that have consumed her first few months in office. She directly fundraised off of Democrats’ decision to kick her off her committees for past incendiary rhetoric and warned her supporters that Democrats are trying to expel her from Congress. Greene is also still a fan favorite in Trumpworld: she met with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago last week and they posed for a videotogether.
“Over 100,000 individual donations says it all. The People are with Marjorie Taylor Greene and her America First agenda. It’s clear she’s the heir to President Trump,” said the source close to her campaign. “While politicians inside the Beltway attack her daily, Americans are rushing to stand beside the Notorious MTG as she fights tooth and nail on the House floor utilizing procedural tactics to shut down Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats’ hostage takeover of Congress.”
Greene is going to need to stockpile cash for her reelection campaign. While she represents a ruby red seat, her primary race could become one of the more expensive and closely-watched contests in the nation and she’ll have to run under new lines after redistricting. Anti-Trump forces are threatening to mobilize against her…

James,
Why don’t you run for Congress? If Greene can raise over $3m in 3 months, think how much you should be able to raise! You can even use your blog to promote your agenda.

Should James run, I can just see the opposition-researchers doxxing him for screaming on-line headlines in e.g. Breitbart:
“Corrupt Far-Leftist JBF drew millions of untraceable Bitcoin from Russian girl-traders !!”

Greene ought to run for the Republican nomination in 2024.
I would imagine close to 50% of the Republican Party agrees with her on most things including her various conspiracy theories.
She could even take Trump on arguing that he gave up the fight way too easy.
