Marjorie Taylor Greene Trashes New York City And Twitter Users Aren't Having It
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) ripped New York City as a “disgusting” place on Wednesday following her brief visit to the city in support of Donald Trump on the day he was arrested and charged in a hush money case.
Greene spoke to Trump supporters through a megaphone outside the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse on Tuesday, where counterprotesters blew whistles and chanted for her to “go home.”
Her appearance miles from her congressional district drew responses from New York Mayor Eric Adams, who denounced her hateful rhetoric, and House Democratic Leader Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), who told her to “go back” to Georgia.
Greene, in an interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, didn’t speak well of her experience in the city.
“I compared it to what I call Gotham City,” Greene said. “It was repulsive, it smells bad, I think it’s a very terrible place.”

I think she knows New York hates her guts.

I suspect anyone who's been to New York this century will concur that it sounds like MTG watched 1979's The Warriors way more than she visited contemporary 2023 Manhattan.
