Biography
Marjorie Taylor Greene represented Georgia’s 14th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from January 2021 until her resignation took effect on 5 January 2026. Within her first five weeks in office the House voted to remove her from both of her committee assignments. In January 2022 Twitter permanently suspended her personal account, leaving her official congressional account in place.
Election and House Service
The Clerk of the House records Greene as elected on 3 November 2020 and sworn in on 3 January 2021, representing Georgia’s 14th district from Rome, Georgia, with no prior congressional service. She answered “Present” on the opening quorum call by states that day. The Clerk’s roster for the 119th Congress records her as elected again on 5 November 2024 and sworn in on 3 January 2025, with prior service in the 118th Congress.
Removal from Committees, February 2021
On 4 February 2021 the House agreed to H. Res. 72, which recited clause 1 of rule XXIII of the Rules of the House — “A Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House shall behave at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House” — and resolved that Greene “should be removed from her committee assignments in light of conduct she has exhibited.” The resolution removed her from the Committee on the Budget and the Committee on Education and Labor.
The recorded vote was 230 to 199, with 2 not voting. Eleven Republicans voted yes; 199 voted no. Every voting Democrat voted yes. Greene voted no on the resolution removing her.
The resolution itself does not enumerate the conduct. In floor debate, Members cited social media posts and statements from 2018 and 2019, including a 2018 remark about the 11 September attacks, a 2019 statement that Speaker Nancy Pelosi was “guilty of treason” and that treason “is a crime punishable by death,” her having liked a comment advocating a bullet to the Speaker’s head, and 2019 remarks about a survivor of the Parkland school shooting. Those characterizations were made by other Members on the floor and are recorded in the Congressional Record as debate, not as findings of the House.
Speaking on the floor the same day, Greene gave her own account of the QAnon material she had posted. She said that at the end of 2017 she “stumbled across something … called QAnon,” that she “posted about it on Facebook, I read about it, I talked about it, I asked questions about it,” and that “later in 2018, when I started finding misinformation, lies, things that were not true in these QAnon posts, I stopped believing it.” She added, “I never once said QAnon during my entire campaign,” and described the material as “words of the past” that “do not represent me.”
Platform Moderation
On 2 January 2022 Twitter permanently suspended Greene’s personal account, @mtgreenee, for multiple violations of its COVID-19 misinformation policy. Her official congressional account, @RepMTG, was not affected. The suspension followed an earlier week-long suspension in July 2021 and applied a tiered enforcement policy Twitter had introduced in March 2021, under which two or three strikes brought a twelve-hour lock, four a week-long suspension, and five or more permanent removal.
The personal account was reinstated on or shortly before 21 November 2022, after Elon Musk’s acquisition of the company and days after the reinstatement of Donald Trump’s account. The Associated Press reported that no public poll preceded Greene’s reinstatement, and that the content moderation council Musk had said would review such cases had not been announced.
Motion to Vacate the Speakership, May 2024
On 8 May 2024 Greene gave notice, under clause 2(a)(1) of rule IX, of her intent to raise a question of the privileges of the House, and then offered H. Res. 1209, “Declaring the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives to be vacant.” The resolution’s recitals criticised Speaker Mike Johnson for relying on Democratic votes, citing House passage of H. Res. 1102 on 22 March 2024 and of H.R. 8035, a Ukraine funding measure, on 20 April 2024. The House voted 359 to 43, with 7 answering “present” and 21 not voting, to table the resolution. Greene voted against tabling it.
Committee Assignments in the 119th Congress
The Clerk’s roster of 9 November 2025 recorded Greene on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Committee on Homeland Security. She was listed as chair of the Oversight subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency, and as a member of the Homeland Security subcommittees on Counterterrorism and Intelligence and on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability.
Resignation
Greene’s resignation from the House took effect on 5 January 2026. On 6 January 2026 the Speaker announced under clause 5(d) of rule XX that, in light of her resignation and the death of Representative Doug LaMalfa, the whole number of the House was 431. A special election was held to fill the seat, and the Clerk records Clay Fuller as elected on 7 April 2026 and sworn in on 14 April 2026 to fill the vacancy.
What Is Not Established Here
This page previously read as an account of digital strategy rather than of a documented career, and most of it could not be sourced. Removed for want of a source that met this project’s standard:
The claim that the Twitter account was “reinstated in 2023.” The Associated Press reported the reinstatement on 21 November 2022; the year on this page was wrong.
The followerCount of “2+ million across platforms,” which had no source, no date and no per-platform breakdown. Follower figures drift substantially and are not reproducible from any record retrieved for this audit.
The primaryPlatforms entries for Gettr, Rumble and Telegram. No first-party evidence of significant presence on any of them was obtained, and this repository has no gettr platform page for the slug to point at. Only the Twitter/X association, which the Associated Press reporting documents by handle, was retained.
The general assertions of a “digital political strategy”: that content was “designed for high shareability,” that video was “optimized for sharing,” that she migrated to alternative platforms specifically in response to mainstream restrictions, that her fundraising appeals were tied to her social media activity, and that she participated in party digital messaging efforts. These are interpretations, not documented facts, and nothing retrieved supports them. Federal Election Commission receipt totals, which would support a factual statement about fundraising, could not be retrieved: the OpenFEC API rejected the shared demonstration key as over its rate limit during this audit.
The connection asserting that she was a “leading figure in the MAGA movement.” That is a characterization, and no source consulted here makes it; the connection was removed rather than restated in the project’s own voice.
The 2022 general election date and result, and vote totals for any of her elections. The Clerk’s roster establishes her 2020 and 2024 elections directly and her 2022-2024 service by implication; the House Clerk’s election statistics volumes were not retrievable at the URLs tried.
Her stated reasons for resigning. The Clerk’s roster and the Speaker’s floor announcement establish the fact and the date of the resignation, but her resignation letter was not located in the Congressional Record issues examined, and no reason is asserted here.
