Republican congresswoman from Georgia, often described as a firebrand. A prominent acolyte of Donald Trump's MAGA movement. She has floated conspiracies about Jewish space lasers sparking wildfires and repeated claims that "Zionist supremacists" are conspiring to dilute Europe's white population through migration. She coined the slogan "America only" to distinguish her stance from Mr Trump's "America first", arguing that unconditional support for Israel contradicts the party's priorities.
Ms Greene has warned that AI will lead to mass unemployment among working-class Americans, placing her in the paleo-conservative faction of MAGA that opposes the techno-libertarian wing's push for deregulation.
In mid-2025 Ms Greene posted a statement on X arguing: "Of course we are against radical Islamic terrorism, but we are also against genocide." Her use of the word genocide, common on the left of the Democratic Party, was a striking departure for a Republican. She wrote the remark as part of a conversation with a Christian pastor in Gaza after Israel struck the Holy Family Church, the only Catholic church in the territory.
Ms Greene, Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon were among MAGA figures who warned during the 12-day war between Israel and Iran in 2025 that America risked being drawn into another disastrous Middle Eastern conflict. She told the Daily Mail: "I don't know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I'm kind of not relating to the Republican Party as much any more."
In late 2025 Ms Greene broke sharply with Mr Trump over the Jeffrey Epstein affair, vocally supporting a discharge petition to compel the Department of Justice to release its files on Epstein. Mr Trump recanted his endorsement of her, called her a "lunatic" and backed a primary challenge against her. She accused him of trying to "make an example to scare all the other Republicans" and offered a rare mea culpa: "I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics; it's very bad for our country."
Mr Trump's threats backfired. Thomas Massie, who was leading the charge, rallied a growing number of House Republicans to defect. Mr Trump reversed course and the House approved the bill 427 to 1; the Senate followed the same day.
Her Epstein defection was part of a pattern of high-profile spats with the administration. She blamed her own party for the longest government shutdown on record and sided with Democrats in calling for an extension to health-care subsidies. She called for an end to the H-1B visa programme for skilled foreign workers and opposed American air strikes on Iran's nuclear programme.
In November 2025 Ms Greene announced her resignation from the House of Representatives, effective the following January. Though much of her rise to prominence was down to Mr Trump's support, she pointed out she won her first House primary in Georgia without the president's endorsement. "I'm not some sort of blind slave to the president," she said. Mr Trump reportedly discouraged her from seeking higher office, sharing polling that cast doubt on her prospects.
Ms Greene is a vocal opponent of cloud-seeding and solar geoengineering. After Hurricane Helene hit North Carolina in 2024, she wrote on X: "Yes they control the weather." In 2025 she proposed the Clear Skies Act, a federal ban on weather modification that would make it a felony to release chemicals into the atmosphere with intent to modify the weather. The bill would also outlaw research on solar geoengineering.
Patience is a minor form of despair, disguised as virtue.
