Marjorie Taylor Greene brags about winning 75 per cent of her election vote despite running unopposed

Marjorie Taylor Greene wants Americans to believe she won a landslide Congress election back in November – forgetting the crucial fact that she ran unopposed.

She brought up the result in a tweet that would likely seem innocuous if one were to know nothing about her penchant for misinformation. In it she pledged to “represent the people, not the politicians”.

Back in November the Georgia congresswoman received 74.7 per cent of her district’s vote, suggesting 25 per cent of the area’s electorate would rather nobody represented them than someone with no past political experience that thought Pizzagate was real.

People found it odd that she would take a disproportionate amount of pride in winning a one horse-race.

It wasn’t always that way – her competitor, Kevin Van Ausdal, dropped out of the election two months beforehand after his divorce rendered him ineligible due to no longer being able to live in the relevant district.

She somehow managed to win with even less of a majority than her predecessor, Tom Graves, who actually had somebody to compete with.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has previously claimed her bid was a chance “to take this global cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles out”. In just a few months of her job she has faced rejection from establishment Republicans within Congress and been stripped of her Committee assignments.

To say she has made a splash in US politics would be an understatement, and not in an exciting way. In a more “your ‘Controversies’ section of Wikipedia is getting longer than War and Peace” way.

Twitter couldn’t make sense of why she would want to brag about the win.

One person highlighted how low voter turnout meant she didn’t actually cover that much ground.

While others drew some hilarious comparisons.

Something else to add to her long list of achievements, then.
