If the government gave her a PPP loan and she used it to run for office, then how the hell did she have a covid hardship?

1. Welfare Queen

19. I Guess Margarine

Never thought anyone would pay attention. Wadda idjit.

[RVN VET71]

26. Oh please let that moniker stick to her forehead and go viral.

Every time this person speaks in public, someone has to ask her -- just to rile her ignorant butt -- “Many people, I hear it from lots of people, call you a Welfare Queen because of that near half million dollar loan you gave yourself after receiving a PPP loan. Does that bother you?"

[Blue Owl]

2. K&R for exposure

[Cobalt Violet]

3. doing what republicans do best.

Cheat.

[2naSalit]

28. It's also what they do the most.

[catrose]

4. Local restaurants and businesses who couldn't get PPP loans are shutting down all over town

But she got a loan and used it to run for office?

[Gore1FL]

10. Someone had to stop the Jewish space lasers. nt

15. If she makes it through to the next election, it needs to be drilled into voters' heads...

that Klan of Greene Gables took PPP money (soshulism!) while small businesses went under. I read she inherited a $4M construction company from Daddy. I need to verify that but I don't think there's financial hardship... she can certainly afford guns and ammo.

[SunSeeker]

22. My favorite local French restaurant just shut down, the family who owned it is financially ruined.

They could have stayed in business if they had that $450,000 loan.

[catrose]

23. I'm so sorry. Many of the ones closing here were fixtures for so many years

[durablend]

5. Grifters gotta grift

[MagickMuffin]

6. I'd say someone needs to pay her a visit for FRAUD

There should be serious consequences for this!

[Baked Potato]

7. Law & Order! Family Values! Debt and Deficit!

[Chicago1980]

8. So she's a thief to boot...

[Takket]

9. that's called "fraud"

LOCK HER UP

[Hermit-The-Prog]

11. Sure smells like fraud. Which smells like Moron Traitor Greene, coincidentally.

[Takket]

12. This article is from OCTOBER...........

it is now February. This has been known for FOUR MONTHS and no one has investigates this??????? WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOCK HER UP!!!!!!!!!

what were the conditions for getting the PPP loan? did you have to prove some sort of hardship? Since the campaign and the company are separate entities i'm sure they will contend that one thing has nothing to do with the other financially.

[BobTheSubgenius]

13. I know this must have been expressed before, and probably several times, but still...

...where do they keep finding faces that are so damned punchable?

[BobTheSubgenius]

14. And then there's this.

If you use PPP funds for unauthorized purposes, the SBA will direct you to repay those amounts. If you knowingly use the funds for unauthorized purposes, you will likely face fraud charges.

[ancianita]

27. That's one way to get expelled -- getting caught.

[seta1950]

16. It was a free for all

For trump cronies

[Initech]

17. It's like cutting up an onion.

The more you peel back the layers, the more it stinks! And the more likely you are to cry as a result!

Really, fuck Marjorie Taylor Greene!

[COL Mustard]

18. Self-Funding.....Hmmmm.....

I wish I was smart enough to do that. I sure wouldn't have a mortgage, credit card debt and student loans to repay...


If only there was someone I could ask about how to do that........

Bueller?

[Kid Berwyn]

20. She spent about half on Parler.

“In 17 separate transactions, Greene’s campaign has spent $207,000 to advertise on the site, according to a review of federal election records.”

32. Now that Parler is on Russian servers...

I seriously think that any Congress person who posts on that site should be considered a security risk.

[TexasBushwhacker]

21. The problem was with how the bill was written

and yes, lots of people took advantage of it and there was plenty of outright fraud, but as long as they kept employees on payroll, rather than laying them off, she's probably free and clear.

[Ferrets are Cool]

24. If true, this needs to be investigated immediately.

[ancianita]

29. The DOJ or FEC will likely get on this. Then Congress might, but who knows.

Election fraud gets slap-on-the-wrist penalties.

[AllaN01Bear]

25. is there a mechanisim in place to get that money back or is the .gov sol?

and we got stuck with a rip roaring $600.00 , like whoppie, and these are the true wealfare frauds .

[oasis]

30. She's got some 'splainin' to do. Big time.

[PatrickforO]

31. Crooked as a cork screw.

Geez. Fanatical, stupid, and mean. Really bad combo.

[Ford_Prefect]

33. It seems they only helped those who helped themselves?
