Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) posted (and then deleted) a strange post over the weekend, even by her standards.
From her X account, Greene wished her son, who was turning 22, a happy birthday on Saturday. She then implored her followers to “Buy Him a Beer!” followed by a link to a Venmo account.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, a sitting member of Congress who is worth many millions of dollars, posted a birthday message for her son—along with a link to his Venmo account, encouraging her supporters to send him money.
This comes at a time of significant economic uncertainty in… pic.twitter.com/meajGdvHnI

The post was taken down, and it’s not hard to imagine some of the reasons why. The request came in the middle of a stock market meltdown and new economic uncertainty instigated by the tariffs put into place by the president whom Greene zealously supports. Also, Greene is known to have a net worth of $21.93 million and can likely afford to buy her son’s beer herself.

Also, a member of Congress soliciting money in such a way might violate congressional ethical rules. That’s what happened last year when Greene’s ally-turned-rival, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), launched a Cameo account and took it down shortly afterward.
Social media users piled on after Greene’s beer faux pas.
She’s so stupid

Believe it or not, this is also not Greene’s first controversy involving beer. Back in 2023, when the right threatened to boycott Bud Light over the Dylan Mulvaney Instagram controversy, Greene made it clear that she preferred Coors. While the company formerly behind Coors had a history of conservative advocacy, the brand is currently much more supportive of LGBTQ+ causes.
I would have bought the king of beers, but it changed it’s gender to the queen of beers.
So it’s made to chill from here on out. pic.twitter.com/QNC5j8qtKI— Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 (@mtgreenee) April 8, 2023
