Conservative firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene endorsed two more House candidates today, including social media influencer and Tennessee House candidate Robby Starbuck, who just yesterday saw former President Donald Trump back a likely challenger and former aide, Morgan Ortagus.
“He has been a champion for America first for a long time,” Greene told Secrets of Starbuck.
Her endorsement of Starbuck came the day after Trump urged Ortagus, his State Department spokeswoman, to enter the race in Tennessee's 5th Congressional District.
Awkward as it may appear because Trump and Greene are very close, she told Secrets that Ortagus was not “worthy” of the former president’s support because she had offered support for the incoming Biden administration on social media, though she has been sharply critical of the president’s recent policies.

Not sure what the Swamp girl brings to the mix, other than a pretty face can get elected more easily.
She’s probably closer to the situation than Trump.
I trust MTG even more than I trust MAGA leader Trump.
The real President, Trump can sometimes be deceived by his deep state aides (i.e. Kushner).
The incumbent is Democrat Jim Cooper, who ran unopposed in 2020. On January 25, Cooper announced he would not run for re-election, citing the state legislature's controversial move to split Davidson County into three congressional districts.
Under the most recent Republican redistricting proposal, which is likely to become law, the new 5th district will shift from D+9 to R+15 and contain only part of Nashville, with the 6th and 7th districts absorbing the West and East parts of Davidson County, respectively.
Guess who has the Trump card here?
Not an MTG fan, but I'd trust her endorsement here.
Ditto. Trump even endorsed McCain and McConnell…
Trump making a mistake with Oragatang.
Good for MTG. NO RINOs!!!!
He probably doesn’t like the way he looks.
He must like pretty faces. I support Trump but don’t have to agree with the Ortagus endorsement. And I sure don’t.
Agreed.
MTG for Leader! The republicans answer to Nazi Pelosi and will make a far better Speaker of the House that McCarthy ever could.
Also, wasn’t there a story about this woman that Mr. Trump just endorsed recently that she voted for Biden?
Would someone please be so kind and explain to me what is an influencer?
Then I saw his mom. She's very active and that got me to thinking. How much does she influence what he says and does....
Another issue:
"Starbuck, whose legal name is Robby Newsom, said he is currently in talks with his lawyer about whether he will need to legally change his last name to appear as Starbuck, his middle name, on the ballot."
Trump picks the one who kisses his ass the longest
An influencer is somebody who became famous for posting either videos on YouTube or social media where they gained a following for some reason and everybody started to follow their opinions. They tend to be intelligent, they tend to have a way to express themselves that people want to turn to and they have nothing in their life that makes them famous other than the fact that the internet has made them famous and that’s how they become rich and that’s why people tend to look to them because they are saying the things that you are thinking.
Glad to see so much confidence in MTG. I watched her for awhile till I was convinced she was the real deal.
Now can some of you consider that her endorsement of JD Vance could mean that you should look into him a little deeper?
