The Georgia Republican is fast falling out of favor for her opposition to the Ukraine aid bill.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s failed fight to end aid to Ukraine, and herĀ sort-of-serious crusadeĀ against House Speaker Mike Johnson, has cost her the support of right-wing media.

The Sunday front page of the New York Post, owned by the conservative Murdoch family, was the latest outlet toĀ attackĀ Greene, invoking the ā€œMoscow Marjorieā€ nicknameĀ coinedĀ by former representative Ken Buck.

Fox News, another arm of the Murdoch media empire, had alreadyĀ taken aimĀ at the Georgia Republican last week, with columnist Liz PeekĀ callingĀ her an ā€œidiotā€ and saying she needs to ā€œturn all that bombastic self-serving showmanship and drama queen energy on Democrats.ā€ This follows an editorial last month from The Wall Street Journal, also in the Murdoch portfolio, that called Greene ā€œRep. Mayhem Taylor Greeneā€ and accused her and her allies of being ā€œmost interested in TV hits and internet donors.ā€

Even a non-Murdoch outlet is on the attack, as conservative Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Debra SaundersĀ demandedĀ to know ā€œwho put Marjorie Taylor Greene in charge?ā€

    I don’t care who it is or what their motives are. She’s finally getting called out for her bullshit from folks she’s supposedly on the ā€œsame sideā€ with?

    I can’t wait until she runs for re-election.

        Sorry, I should have phrased that differently:

        I can’t wait for the results of her run. :)

          Don’t get your hopes too high. I’ve lived in GA and frequently drove through her district. There’s jack shit out there. No major businesses, no public services, no food outside of Subways, Bojangles, and McDonald’s. It’s mostly farmland with some really small towns filled with the kind of people who would vote for MTG. They’re not at all informed and really don’t care about anything more than ā€œowning the libs.ā€

            Fair point, but I’m still going to hope. Sounds like Boebert is never coming back, 2/2 would be a nice win.

            To be fair, some of it is Chattanooga suburbs, there are the carpet manufacturers in Dalton, and that Buc-ee’s opened a few years ago (that counts as fine dining, right?).

        She’s running without a republican challenger. She won the last election 66% to 35%. Georgia’s 14th district hasn’t voted blue since its gerrymandered inception. I wouldn’t hold my breath.
