MTG Brutally Blasted For Attending Alabama-Georgia Game And Posing With Trump After Hurricane Helene Caused Havoc In Her State

This is not a good look.

Last night, as the Alabama-Georgia football game unfolded in front of thousands of fans in Tuscaloosa, one particular face in the crowd drew a lot of attention—Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. The controversial representative from Georgia’s 14th district was spotted enjoying the highly anticipated SEC matchup, even posing for a photo with Trump, who was also at the game as her home state reels from the damage caused by Hurricane Helene.

 

 

While the congresswoman was cheering on her team, back home in Georgia, families are struggling to recover from the havoc wreaked by the storm. Hurricane Helene made landfall just days ago, leaving behind a path of destruction across multiple states including Georgia. Countless homes were destroyed, roads washed out, and entire communities left without power. Despite the obvious need for leadership and support from elected officials, Greene chose to attend a football game instead of prioritizing the crisis in her district.

A Tone-Deaf Move

Greene’s decision to attend the game has sparked outrage among her constituents and beyond. Social media quickly exploded with criticism, with many accusing her of being out of touch with the realities her district is facing. People took to Twitter and Facebook to call out the congresswoman for what they saw as a callous and tone-deaf move during such a critical time.

 Priorities in Question

This isn’t the first time Greene’s priorities have come under fire. Throughout her political career, she has been more focused on culture war issues, conspiracy theories, and divisive rhetoric than addressing the real, tangible needs of her district. Critics have long accused her of ignoring the bread-and-butter issues that impact everyday Georgians, and her attendance at the game amid this crisis only reinforces those accusations.

Attending a football game while your district is in the throes of a disaster shows a complete disconnect from the responsibilities of her office. This is the time when elected officials are supposed to be on the ground, offering support and comfort to those in need. Instead, Greene chose to party.

Where’s the Leadership?

In times of natural disaster, leadership is more crucial than ever. Elected officials are expected to be hands-on, coordinating relief efforts, visiting affected areas, and ensuring their constituents receive the help they desperately need. Yet, Greene’s absence from the scene speaks volumes about her approach to governance.

Many of her colleagues across the aisle were quick to point out the contrast between her actions and those of other leaders. Even Governor Brian Kemp, for example, has been working around the clock to oversee relief operations, while Greene appears more interested in scoring political points on social media.

As Georgia continues to recover from the devastation of Hurricane Helene, one thing is clear: Marjorie Taylor Greene’s focus remains far from the people she was elected to serve.
