On Monday, controversial Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene posted a photograph on social media depicting her having dinner with former President Donald Trump at his Bedminster golf club.
This event has fueled speculation that Trump may consider Greene as a potential running mate in the 2024 presidential election.
The photo follows a pattern of high-profile dinners and meetings Trump has had with various individuals, including white nationalist Nick Fuentes and musician Kanye West, which has stirred public interest and political discussion.
Greene’s close association with Trump is well-documented, and she has often been a vocal supporter of the former president.
She publicly referred to Trump as an “inspiration,” citing his influence over his supporters and his role in the events of January 6th when a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election results.
Greene herself objected to the electoral results on that fateful day, aligning her actions with those who sought to challenge the legitimacy of the election.
The controversy surrounding Greene extends beyond her allegiance to Trump. She has previously called for a “national divorce,” a term used to describe the idea of the United States splitting into separate entities.
However, Greene had initially framed this concept as not advocating for an actual breakup of the nation or the incitement of a civil war.
Yet, in a recent tweet posted on the anniversary of 9/11, she appeared to express a desire for secession, suggesting that if the flow of migrants into the country is not halted, “states should consider seceding from the union.”
Greene’s open call for secession has raised eyebrows and triggered concerns about the divisive rhetoric in today’s political landscape.
As a sitting Republican member of Congress backed by Speaker Kevin McCarthy and a potential contender for a Trump running mate, her statement has added fuel to the ongoing debate about the implications of such rhetoric and the potential consequences of divisions within the country.
I’m honored to have Sunday evening dinner with my favorite President before landing in Washington today.@realDonaldTrump is an inspiration. He’s incredibly healthy, strong, active, extremely mentally sharp, and intelligent.
