Georgia U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is the kind of woman you would run into at your local Southern diner or hardware store and start chatting.
If politics came up in the conversation, Greene, a Georgia native, would tell you exactly what she thought. No filter comes to mind. The border? Close it. America should be taking care of Americans. Ukraine. She feels bad for the country's citizens, but why is the United States involved? Republicans? She likes some, doesn't like others. Just like a lot of people. Don't like her? She's not worried about it.
Greene, also known as MTG, energized an already excited Republican base of 300 people Saturday morning at “Operation: Endgame” in Cabot.
Many fans met Greene before her speech at a meet-and-greet book signing for her 2023 book “MTG.”
For an hour, Greene owned the room at the Veterans Park Community Center.
She told stories from Washington including the events of Jan. 6, 2021. Greene was sworn in only three days before Jan. 6.
"She isn't a politician,” said Trina Welch, who is a podcaster of HEROHonestEverydayRealOpinions, on Rumble. “She was a businesswoman before she was elected and she's telling it the way it is especially about J6. That's admirable especially since she had only been elected three days before J6 happened.”
Greene also bluntly said some of her Republican colleagues don't always agree with her. That certainly does not deter her. She believes in the will of the people and listening to what voters want not her peers in Congress.
Meanwhile, outside of the community center, a group of peaceful Democrats stood by a table of cookies holding signs and telling Greene to go home.
“Times are divided and there is a lot of hate,” Steve Grappe with Stand Up Arkansas said. “We wanted to show that there are multiple views in the community that can coexist in love and civil debate. There are multiple options this year in Cabot and candidates like Tom Bartole gives citizens of Lonoke County an option for the first time in a long time.”
Bartole is running for the Arkansas House of Representatives, District 68 against Republican incumbent Bryan Evans who did not attend Saturday's event.
Greene, during a question and answer session following her speech, mentioned the Democrats outside along with cracking a joke about former President Bill Clinton.
She also answered several Arkansans’ questions. Listen to what Arkansas voters asked Greene here:
Rumors swirled that Arkansas Gov. Sarah Sanders, Congressmen Rick Crawford and French Hill might attend the event. They did not.
