Retrieved February 1, 2021. With the departure of former President Donald J. Trump, the G.O.P. has become a leaderless party, with past standard-bearers changing their voter registrations, luminaries like Senator Rob Portman of Ohio retiring, and far-right extremists like Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia building a brand on a web of dangerous conspiracy theories.

Given MTG's break with Trump and her recent NYT profile in which she breaks with her former views, what do you all think about maybe changing the whole "far-right/populist" and "conspiracy theorist" angle in the lead to something more moderate, or removing it altogether? I'm glad the "far-right" label was removed from its prominent position (which was a pet peeve of mine), but I still think some improvements and updates should be made. Open to any suggestions about this. wizzito|say hello!15:09, 29 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
Unless RS state that she has changed her policy views, not just broken with Trump, the text regarding her current promotion of far-right views and conspiracy theories should remain. Funcrunch (talk) 17:36, 29 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
Has she in fact stopped promoting conspiracy theories (such as the Epstein files)? 15:29, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
I'm reading the NYT piece now. Her views on the left-right spectrum haven't changed and the author makes this clear. I have covered Greene, who is 51, extensively over the past five years, and it was evident during this recent visit that on one level nothing had changed. ... She arrived in Washington as one kind of misfit and departs as another, all while remaining more or less herself but also changing in ways that compelled even her detractors to give her a second look. None of this is normal, like the rest of the Trump era. What has changed is more about style, about being less combative. She continued to be faithful to Trump’s campaign promises. If anything, she said, her sin was to have regarded them as more than slogans. “That’s what I’m guilty of,” she told me. “That’s what made me, in the president’s words, a traitor — which was truly believing in Make America Great Again, which I perceive to be America First.”–Muboshgu(talk) 19:26, 29 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
Getting towards the end, after her resignation announcement, And yet Greene was showing no sign of withdrawing from political life. She continued to post on social media about her concerns on immigration, Covid vaccines, foreign interventions and the prospect of stolen elections. So she's still got the conspiratorial views. And in the very last paragraph, about her break with Trump: But perhaps even to her own surprise, Greene was not that person any longer. “Everyone’s like, ‘She’s changed,’” Greene said to me. “I haven’t changed my views. But I’ve matured. I’ve developed depth.”–Muboshgu(talk) 20:58, 29 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

But being a Trump dissenter within the party, her views will make for good quotes on the page concerning the 3rd Jan 26 attack on Venezuela. If this keeps its wind, it might just end up being worth a mention here. We could wait. Neiyenz (talk) 18:04, 7 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
