Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump Jr. Hit Democrats at GOP Gala
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) entertained Republicans in Manhattan on Saturday night with a lineup of one-liners trolling the political left on hot topics.
“I want to tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized this, we would have won. Not to mention we would have been armed,” she said of her role in the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol.
The controversial MP was one of many high-profile conservative firebrands – including Donald Trump, Jr. and commentator Jack Posobiec – who slammed President Joe Biden, progressives and many others at the annual event. organized by the New York Young Republican Club.
Others in attendance included former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Bannon, James O’Keefe of Project Veritas and elected Congressman George Santos from Nassau County.
Greene bragged about not supporting “a single penny” to help Ukraine fight Russia while suggesting the money would be better spent attacking drug cartels in Mexico.
“They care about a country called Ukraine whose borders are far away and most of you couldn’t find it on a map,” added Green, who received an award from the club.
Her speech took an eerie turn as she noted how “you can grab a butt plug or a dildo at Target these days” while disparaging transgender-friendly classroom policies.
Although known for her divisive politics, Green preached unity while discussing what a GOP-controlled House could accomplish next year while lamenting how many of her fellow Republicans failed to support her legislative ideas.
This includes a bill to ban gender-affirming health care for transgender youth under 18, which Greene likened to ‘genital mutilation’ after claiming earlier in his speech that child pornography was supposed to be allowed on Twitter until billionaire Elon Musk buys the social media platform.
She then urged fellow Republicans to support former President Donald Trump’s 2024 candidacy, despite calls from many party members to nominate a different candidate following Republicans’ worse-than-expected performance in the midterm elections. .
But with the GOP taking control of the House, Greene — who was stripped of committee powers by Democratic Chair Nancy Pelosi following a series of controversial remarks — said she was optimistic the party would work together to “defund” the FBI with Democratic spending priorities.
“After the last two years of suffering under Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats and not voting hard on Joe Biden and the Democrats’ communist agenda, I’ll tell you I’m excited about 222 in the House,” said- she declared.

His appearance followed remarks by Donald Trump, Jr., who also slammed the “woke” left while expressing his delight at how House Republicans might treat Hunter Biden next year.
While Musk released tons of data this week showing how Twitter executives decided to remove an exclusive 2020 story by The Post about Hunter Biden’s laptop, Trump Jr. said it was an example of more about how supposed conspiracy theories may turn out to be true.
“Holy shit…if it was my laptop, I would be in trouble,” he said.
“Hunter was able to sell art for $200,000 yesterday. So I thought about doing art. I could do fingerpaint like Hunter,” Trump added.
He told the friendly audience that he needed to speak the same way, no matter how politically incorrect or offensive the right-wing talking points might be.
“We need people to be out there without fear,” Trump Jr. said.
