Marjorie Taylor Greene's racist Statue of Liberty [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Marjorie is not known to be a lover of immigrants. She probably loved it when Trump put in the new travel ban. But we know that MAGA has a special place in their heart for Muslims.

So, the other day she decided to put a really, really racist AI picture on her X account.

MTG's post.

We all know, looking at it, that it's a Muslim burqa, the head to toe dress of very strict Muslim societies.

The AI image was also incorrect on the base, which is an 11 point star called Fort Wood. The rest of the layers are off, too

The real Statue and base.

MTG was on The Hill's Rising show when the host asked her about the post.

"Well, I'm an American woman, and I have all the freedoms in the world to never have to bow to a religion that would force me to cover up my body and see only my eyes and my fingertips, and that is a major threat for all American women, and I think that's something that it's hard for all women."

When asked if her post was about Zohran Mamdani's win in New York, she sort of didn't answer the question.

"Oh, a Muslim takeover or possibly Sharia law. This is a threat to every single American woman, and I think that's something all women should never want or allowed to happen in America."

When asked if she opposed Muslims holding elected office, she sidestepped again, as she usually does, and responded with:

"I am 100% opposed to Sharia law in America. 100% unapologetically opposed to Sharia law in America."

Here's the video at The Hill of MTG. It's at the end of the clip.

What MTG, and probably most of us didn't know, is that the statue was originally going to be that of a Muslim woman at the Suez Canal. It was conceived as "Egypt Carrying the Light to Asia," and her upstretched hand would have held a lantern that served as a lighthouse. The project was deemed too expensive and canceled.

People on social media gave their opinion as collected by The Buzzfeed.

"Bet this hit hard if you're stupid."

"You are such a disgraceful, disgusting, pathetic human being. The people of North Georgia deserve someone so much better"

"What's wrong with you, MTG? I thought the last couple of weeks you showed sanity and leadership!" /s

"Thank you for proving reputation matters. Your islamophobia isn't edgy, it's pathetic. You don't hate the hijab, you hate that a Muslim dared to win."

"I'm so sorry that other religions and races are scary."

"Y'all are so proud to put your racism on display."

One person had the best criticism of all.

So right on.

This must be hard. Hard to forget.

MTG rides again into the sunset of racism. Islamophobia. Adding to her hatred of trans people and removal of civil rights except for white people. I hope in 2026, the people of her district get a clue.
