The rebel Maga: who is Marjorie Taylor Greene, the congresswoman who dared to challenge Trump
Born in Georgia in 1974, Marjorie Taylor Greene came to Congress in 2021: a degree in business administration on her CV, followed by working in the family construction business
From the CrossFit gym to the heart of the American political battle, Marjorie Taylor Greene has become the most controversial face of the extreme wing of the Republican Party. Her recent split with President Donald Trump, culminating in his surprise resignation, chronicles the implosion of an alliance forged in the fire of Maga (Make America Great Again) populism.
From Georgia to Congress
Born in Georgia in 1974, Marjorie Taylor Greene came to Congress in 2021, representing the 14th district. Her CV includes a degree in business administration, followed by working in the family construction business.
Greene came to prominence by riding the wave of anti-establishment sentiment, fervently embracing conspiracy theories and the uncompromising line in support of Trump. She proudly identifies herself as a 'Christian Nationalist', a label that sums up her conservative and identity politics.
The congresswoman's career is linked to her tendency to promote radical theses and engage in head-on collisions.
She has been among the loudest voices to supportQAnon, an extreme right-wing conspiracy, and has spread Islamophobic views and theories of 'ethnic substitution' in the past.
