In a roid fueled rage Marjorie Taylor Greene snatched Trump's Social Security pledge and threw it on the floor

Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who chairs the House subcommittee created to support the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), was recently confronted over President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign pledge not to cut Social Security.

Her response was to throw a printed copy of the pledge on the ground and say, “You guys suck,” referring, presumably, to the Democratic Party and its supporters.

A confrontation over Social Security

When Greene was heading for the first subcommittee meeting, she was confronted by Alex Lawson, the executive director of Strengthen Social Security, a group dedicated to expanding and strengthening the benefits program. Lawson held up a mailed document containing Trump's pledge not to cut Social Security, asking if Greene would promise to honor it.

Greene became angry upon seeing Lawson, and she threw the document on the floor, although it is unclear if she realized it was a campaign mailer from Trump at the time of the incident.

There are so many adjectives I could use to describe how hateful and despicable she is.

Come Georgia she is nothing but a troll. Every time I see or hear of her the pic of her as a troll comes to mind! Sorry I never can get pics posted here correctly. But I use it on threads and Bluesky and people love the troll pic!

There's video in reply #2, above.

I knew she was rude, crude, crass, and uncivilized, but I had forgotten just how rude, crude, crass, and uncivilized, because I hadn't seen her in action in a while. This encounter shows her at her worst.

She's unbelievably hateful.

Hubby's is the same. Luckily, mine is more... but it sure doesn't help that his is so low. Jeez, I hadn't seen a monthly stipend that small since I started as a receptionist some 50 years ago!
