Quarterly filings from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene show that the Georgia Republican only received six donations from her constituents.

Rome News-Tribune first reported on Greene's FEC filings, showing $601,517 in total receipts and $1,593,578 in total disbursements. Greene indicated she had $966,133 on hand as of March 31.

The paper observed that only six donors who live in Greene's 14th congressional district contributed to the lawmaker. Those donations were said to total just $2,300.

Emphasis mine.

Ooh, that's gonna leave a mark!

1. One of the reasons I despise "foreign" money in campaigns

We suffered greatly in the Prop 8 days with all the out of state interference. I get hundreds of solicitations for money every month from out of state campaigns. I will only rarely donate to them because I consider it meddling. If in-state people aren’t interested in donating, I’m certainly not (“short of our goal”).

And the urgency of supposed deadlines? Typical scam tactics. The only real deadline is about 2 days before Election Day IMHO.

2. Hah! Those who KNOW HER know her best! All others should get the message.

It looks like my dreams (that she fails to get re-elected!) just might come true!

16. Don't get your hopes up..... her district is deep deep red (and crazy).

I used to live in a small portion of her district that was semi-sane, most of her district worships bat-shit crazy.

3. So they're literally buying congresspeople

[dchill]

20. No. Actually, they're buying idiot traitors.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

4. 6 too many

[Casady1]

5. I'm very familiar with her district

I sold cash registers in it. I was actually surprised she caught on. She is not even from there.

[LaMouffette]

13. Is her district a low-income one? Maybe she has supporters who can't afford to donate, but who

will vote for her anyway because they have been brainwashed by Fox to blame their lot on Democrats and don't realize that it's Republicans like Empty Greene who fight the hardest against efforts to combat income inequality.

[Casady1]

14. Not at all

Shaw Industry and many carpet companies are there.

[LaMouffette]

26. Well, maybe if they can afford to donate to her but don't, that is a good sign that they have grown

tired of her antics.

[allegorical oracle]

6. Sounds as though she's self-financing her political existence. nt

8. For Sale

Like a good little fascist.

9. Who is surprised by this?

This idiot is supported by QANON and RWNJs from across the country

[Hortensis]

19. Oh, don't say so! THIS is noble, "grassroots" funding by "the people."

DON'T say "outsider," "special interest" or Big Money. No matter how badly the floods of tiny-donation Big Money from outside people with special interests subvert what's supposed to be local representative government.

No matter how often the politicians post agitprop on social media to get their little donors to send more "approval."

10. "That's gonna leave a mark!"

On whom?


MTG doesn't give a shit, and she'll laugh all the way to the bank.

[Warpy]

11. Well laundered Russian cash will come in

as well as bucks from billionaires who know what a great distraction she is while they're quietly buying votes for dirty dealing of their own. That's the main reason she's there and that's the only reason she hasn't been booted out of committees.

[AllaN01Bear]

12. makes you wonder who voted for her?

[JanLip]

15. She got that much

Huh. Surprised she got 10 cents much less 2300 bucks.

[marble falls]

17. I hope this is true and not that she's bringing cash in under the table.

18. Citizens United brought to you by the John Roberts court.

21. Money in politics will be the death of democracy

24. +1

[Blue Owl]

22. She's bargain-basement quality

[2naSalit]

25. Only worse.

[malthaussen]

28. But they vote for her nevertheless. n/t
