Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) faced criticism for her attendance — alongside Donald Trump — at the Alabama-Georgia college football game in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on Sunday while Georgia was reeling from the fallout from Hurricane Helene, which killed at least 11 in the state.
Greene shared a photo on X, formerly Twitter, of herself and Trump at the game.
A MAN OF THE PEOPLE!!

“A MAN OF THE PEOPLE!!” the conspiracy theorist captioned the image.
“Great to see President Trump tonight in Tuscaloosa,” she wrote, adding: “100K strong to Make America Great Again!!!”
Critics suggested Greene should have at that time been in Georgia assisting with the recovery effort. Some remembered fellow MAGA Republican Ted Cruz’s 2021 trip to Cancun, Mexico, amid a deadly winter storm.
Georgia lost to Alabama, 41-34.
After 11 people died in Georgia during the hurricane and while the state is still experiencing flooding, Marjorie Taylor Greene decided to visit Alabama for a football game. https://t.co/8Ux79DVx0W

Marjorie Taylor Greene voted to shut down the government days before Hurricane Helene killed over a dozen people in her State…and her assistance consisted of a photo op with Trump at a football game.

Looks like Marjorie Taylor Greene is doing her best Ted Cruz impersonation. Or as we call him here in Texas, “Cancun Cruz.”
