Marjorie Taylor Greene Trashes New York City And Twitter Users Aren't Having It
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) ripped New York City as a “disgusting” place on Wednesday following her brief visit to the city in support of Donald Trump on the day he was arrested and charged in a hush money case.
Greene spoke to Trump supporters through a megaphone outside of Manhattan criminal court on Tuesday and she received pushback from counter-protesters, who blew whistles and chanted at her to “go home,” CBS News noted.
Her appearance miles from her congressional district drew responses from New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), who denounced her for hateful rhetoric and told her to “take her ass back to Washington.”
Greene, in an interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, didn’t speak well of her experience in the Big Apple on Wednesday.
“I compared it to what I call Gotham City,” Greene said.
“It was repulsive, it smells bad, I think it’s a very terrible place.”
Twitter users, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), mocked Greene for her comment and one joked that they wouldn’t book the Republican as their travel agent.
