Talk:Marjorie Taylor Greene

Anti-Zionist position and her bill not in lede

The only reason I know her is for her position on Israel, including bring a bill against Israel. Yet it did not make the lead! Explain it in baby English. Inayity (talk) 09:33, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

THis is a recent issue, and not the reason she was elected. Nor is it even close to being what she is most notable for. Slatersteven (talk) 09:36, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
two months later, I'd say her very public break with republicans on a number of issues should probably be mentioned — jonas (talk) 12:53, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Healthcare

I saw a Marjorie Taylor Greene video interview and she stated that the proposed extension of Obamacare subsidies would affect her children, thus not supporting the extension of Obamacare subsidies would alienate her from her children. I cannot find the video online. The clip was in a commentary video from a WP:RS

"In October 2025, Greene broke with her party over the federal government shutdown.[1] The disagreement was over a proposed extension of Obamacare subsidies.[2]"

Epstein files

Why are the Epstein files not mentioned once in the article, when Greene has been very public and breaking with her own party over wanting to force a vote to release them? — jonas (talk) 12:54, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Because untill it actually has some kind of effect (as in she resigns or votes against her own party over it) it tells us nothing. Slatersteven (talk) 13:00, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Jonas that moment has arrived.--FeralOink (talk) 03:49, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes clearly the Epstein files need to be mentioned in this article. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:52, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Has it, when she actialy resigns, yes it will have had an effect. Slatersteven (talk) 10:20, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Adding populist to lede

Especially in the wake of the recent conflict with Donald Trump, I think it would be worth adding that she is a far-right populist politican. Here are some sources that describe her has both populist and far-right [3], [4], [5]. Esolo5002 (talk) 18:34, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Thanks for providing those reliable sources! Qwerty123M (talk) 01:58, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion about first sentence with descriptors

I cannot help but notice on Wikipedia we like to place descriptors like "far-right" into certain politician's infoboxes. I've never seen a left-wing politician be called "left-wing," much less "far-left" in their infobox. All these terms are vague by nature and kinda unhelpful, and when we only apply them to people on the right in creates a sort of othering that is not in the spirit of NPOV. R. G. Checkers talk 06:49, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you are correct. I have found that efforts to remedy are widely resisted by Wikipedia editors.--FeralOink (talk) 03:50, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Massive ref sections in the lead are not helpful

The overcites about her being a conspiracy theorist and far-right are excessive. I'm not suggesting those descriptions are untrue, merely that (given the article size of OVER 370,000 bytes when 100,000 is considered large!) that these should be trimmed back.

As for the extremist description, I do wonder if there is any other (now former) member of Congress who is described by Wikipedia using that adjective? If not, is Wikipedia claiming that MTG is the MOST or even the ONLY member of Congress who is "extremist"? --FeralOink (talk) 03:57, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! I agree that usually 1-2 sources are enough to suffice, and that sources are not always needed in the lead section. Although to remove or change it from such a highly visible article, I suggest you find consensus first.
For the part where you ask I do wonder if there is any other (now former) member of Congress who is described by Wikipedia using that adjective? that falls under WP:OTHER. Instead, if you think it's false, I encourage you to either find reliable sources that state otherwise, or show how it's inconsistent with the body of the article.

Insider trading

Could you please information about Marjorie Taylor Greene insider trading? Disclaimer777cc (talk) 03:36, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What reliable source has information that might be added to the article? Johnuniq (talk) 04:32, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Change in views

Given MTG's break with Trump and her recent NYT profile in which she breaks with her former views, what do you all think about maybe changing the whole "far-right/populist" and "conspiracy theorist" angle in the lead to something more moderate, or removing it altogether? I'm glad the "far-right" label was removed from its prominent position (which was a pet peeve of mine), but I still think some improvements and updates should be made. Open to any suggestions about this. wizzito | say hello! 15:09, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unless RS state that she has changed her policy views, not just broken with Trump, the text regarding her current promotion of far-right views and conspiracy theories should remain. Funcrunch (talk) 17:36, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Has she in fact stopped promoting conspiracy theories (such as the Epstein files)? 15:29, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
I'm reading the NYT piece now. Her views on the left-right spectrum haven't changed and the author makes this clear. I have covered Greene, who is 51, extensively over the past five years, and it was evident during this recent visit that on one level nothing had changed. ... She arrived in Washington as one kind of misfit and departs as another, all while remaining more or less herself but also changing in ways that compelled even her detractors to give her a second look. None of this is normal, like the rest of the Trump era. What has changed is more about style, about being less combative. She continued to be faithful to Trump’s campaign promises. If anything, she said, her sin was to have regarded them as more than slogans. “That’s what I’m guilty of,” she told me. “That’s what made me, in the president’s words, a traitor — which was truly believing in Make America Great Again, which I perceive to be America First.” – Muboshgu (talk) 19:26, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Getting towards the end, after her resignation announcement, And yet Greene was showing no sign of withdrawing from political life. She continued to post on social media about her concerns on immigration, Covid vaccines, foreign interventions and the prospect of stolen elections. So she's still got the conspiratorial views. And in the very last paragraph, about her break with Trump: But perhaps even to her own surprise, Greene was not that person any longer. “Everyone’s like, ‘She’s changed,’” Greene said to me. “I haven’t changed my views. But I’ve matured. I’ve developed depth.” – Muboshgu (talk) 20:58, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think her views on everything are needed. Slatersteven (talk) 17:02, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
But being a Trump dissenter within the party, her views will make for good quotes on the page concerning the 3rd Jan 26 attack on Venezuela. If this keeps its wind, it might just end up being worth a mention here. We could wait. Neiyenz (talk) 18:04, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Assuming she is, and not just disagrees with him over just one or two issues. Slatersteven (talk) 10:19, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
There's little to assume. She resigned and they have been publicly vocal in their mutual dissent. Neiyenz (talk) 13:52, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:HUFFPOLITICS, these sources are generally considered to be openly biased. —Eyer (he/him) If you reply, add {{reply to|Eyer}} to your message. 18:13, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
There are plenty of RS that have covered this.[6][7][8][9] Whether we should include it or not, I don't have an opinion. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:18, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
