The Democrats' latest strategy is making Marjorie Taylor Greene the face of the GOP [View all]

Two years after being stripped of all committee assignments, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene carefully rebranded her image in an attempt to gain trust and power within the Republican Party.

It worked: House Speaker Kevin McCarthy rewarded her with prized committee assignments. But that could come back to haunt Republicans as Democrats increasingly try to paint her as one of the faces of the party.

Greene's polling isn't ideal for her or the GOP

According to polling in January by YouGov, Greene was more often than not deemed as "unfavorable" among all respondents.

The second-term Republican polled even worse among self-identified Independents — a group Republicans need to sway to stay in power — 37% said they viewed her as "unfavorable" compared to the 25% who favored her.

And with MTG's massive ego she'll eat up the attention.
