A new book by far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) “duly reads like an audition for the No 2 slot on the 2024 Republican presidential ticket,” according to a scathing review published by Britain’s Guardian newspaper.
“Venom, score-settling, fiction, self-absolution, self-aggrandizement. Greene’s book, ‘MTG,’ has it all,” former Justice Department attorney Lloyd Green wrote in the critique, published Sunday.
Greene toadies up to former president and Republican 2024 front-runner Donald Trump, lies about the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, “embraces the insurrectionists who attacked Congress,” and “offers a meandering defense of her famous comment about so-called Jewish space lasers, insisting she is not antisemitic,” says the reviewer.
Despite promising to tell her “side of the story” in the Canada-printed memoir, the lawmaker does not directly address some of her most controversial moments, such as when her support of the idea of executing Democrats saw her stripped of House committee assignments, Green notes.
“Under Trump, retribution and vengeance are Republicans’ fuel. Greene wants to sit at his right hand,” Green concluded his review of the book, which was released by the Donald Trump Jr.-founded Winning Team Publishing.
Critics on social media, meanwhile, have suggested another use for the tome.
