"Marjorie Taylor Greene's critics are starting to think they got her all wrong. "You are a very different person than I thought you were," The View 's Sunny Hostin marveled last week, when the Georgia representative joined the show for a largely genial discussion. Recently, Greene has criticized the GOP's shutdown strategy, lack of a plan to address health-care costs, and refusal to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. This turnabout has excited some liberals and media outlets, sometimes to the point of credulity."
"On the few occasions when she has been confronted with her past positions and incendiary assertions, Greene has deflected or pleaded ignorance. On The View, she disavowed the QAnon conspiracy theory, saying-as she has before-that she was misled by "media lies and stuff you read on social media." On Real Time With Bill Maher, Greene noted that she never said that any wildfires were caused by a "Jewish" space laser, as some outlets reported. She merely tied such fire-starting technology to the Rothschild banking dynasty, a Jewish family that has been subject to countless anti-Semitic conspiracy theories."
Greene has recently voiced criticism of GOP tactics, health-care inaction, and refusal to release Jeffrey Epstein files, prompting surprised reactions from some observers. She holds influential committee assignments and has considered higher office, attracting attention for potential ambitions. Television interviews have shown a congenial demeanor that contrasts with her history of incendiary statements. When challenged about past conspiratorial positions, Greene has often denied knowledge or blamed misleading media and social media. She linked alleged fire-starting technology to the Rothschilds while denying anti-Semitic intent and emphasized a prior lack of political awareness.
