Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) became an instant meme after an MSNBC host labeled her “Tonya Harding in a fur coat” after her actions during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address Tuesday. Greene made headlines by interrupting Biden’s address numerous times, screaming the word “liar” and shouting rebuttals to Biden’s speech. However, Greene’s choice of attire also had people talking—she arrived clad in a large, furry white coat—among them MSNBC analyst Matthew Dowd. During a discussion with Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House, Dowd, the chief strategist for the Bush-Cheney 2004 presidential campaign, described Greene as “Tonya Harding in a fur coat” as an image of her appeared on the screen. “Oh, there she is,” Dowd said. “I’m surprised she didn’t have somebody go after somebody with ice skates.” The comment was met with laughter from Wallace and the other analysts on the panel—and soon became a hit on social media as the top trend on Twitter. On Fox News the same night, Greene appeared on Hannity and claimed the coat was made of wool, not fur, and criticized those who criticized her.

1. That's gotta BURN /nt

[mitch96]

24. Tonya Taylor Greene ?...nt

[Best_man23]

2. I call her Cruella DeVille

Just curious, why should she feel the need to say "the coat was made of wool, not fur"?

Most RepubliCANTs are just fine with the wearing of threatened and endangered species pelts.

After all, IOKIYARcant.

[central scrutinizer]

35. Yes, I'm surprised she didn't claim shooting and tanning

The pelt herself.

[Cha]

37. And, I say Cruella deVile &

Empty G.

Tonya Harding in a fur coat works too.. descriptive imagery.

[spooky3]

3. Tonya Harding was a very good skater. Marge isn't even good at lying. Nt

[BlueMTexpat]

18. THIS!

Although quite talented, she began with several strikes against her. Had she had some real guidance, less abuse and a much better environment overall, she would likely not be remembered as she is today.

I recommend that anyone who has never seen "I, Tonya" try to. If nothing else, it is great fun. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I,_Tonya

IMO, it is grossly unfair to speak of her in the same breath as MTG.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

4. Classism is some tired shit.

[ProfessorGAC]

6. Oh, Brother!

[ShazzieB]

19. I agree.

[BannonsLiver]

33. Lol

[EYESORE 9001]

5. That's not a fair comparison

Tonya Harding enlisted the help of cronies to carry out the attack on her adversary. Miserable Traitor Greene hand-delivered explosive devices to DNC & RNC on the eve of 1/6/21 insurrection. She has a keen desire to prove her badassery that I hope is her undoing.

[Polybius]

34. If you have proof of that you should go to the FBI

Miserable Traitor Greene hand-delivered explosive devices to DNC & RNC on the eve of 1/6/21 insurrection.

There is zero evidence that this is her:

[EYESORE 9001]

36. If I had evidence, you betcher azz ida called FBI

As far as speculative fiction goes, it’s more plausible than Jewish space lasers.

[GenThePerservering]

38. That's definitely not her

totally wrong body type - she's chunky with short arms and definitely has hips - this person is bog standard young guy (or fit older guy).

[SKKY]

7. Great Value Tonya Harding...

...And I have an idea. Can we change the pejorative "Karen" to "Marjorie"?? That seems 100% appropriate.

[niyad]

22. That works, too.

[catbyte]

8. Except Tanya Harding had talent. MTG has NONE.

[gordianot]

9. When I first saw her I wondered if she had been clubbing baby seals.

[bluesbassman]

10. Where's Nanook when you need him?

She’s in desperate need of a generous heaping mitten full of the deadley yellow snow.

[Beartracks]

14. Coffee is still brewing, else you'd owe me a keyboard!!

============

[obamanut2012]

11. Except Harding was very talented

And was a battered woman.

[The Jungle 1]

12. Evil Snowman

The Evil Snowman walks among us. Professor Hinkle

[NCDem47]

13. MTG is a tacky trash provocateur

Yes, that's totally judgemental.

She'll wear this as a badge of honor anyway to be relatable to the rubes.

[sarge43]

15. I'm a traditionalist: Mutton dressed as lamb. n/t

[raging moderate]

16. Don't insult Tonya Harding. She overcame a poor childhood through talent and hard work.

Tonya's emotional scars persisted and made trouble for her, but she made heroic efforts. MT Greene grew up rich and spoiled, and she has had everything handed to her in a silver basket, no matter how how lazy, badly behaved, or deliberately ignorant she was.

[plimsoll]

17. No Kidding.

No Hading fan, but that is really insulting to Tonya Harding. MTG could aspire to be Tonya Harding.

[Warpy]

20. That's really unfair, Tonya had a great deal of talent

MTG just has a big hog callin' mouth and no brains to govern it.

Bless her heart.

[colorado_ufo]

23. That is a terrific description!

[Mz Pip]

21. Stop talking about her.

She’s getting more publicity than Biden which is exactly what she wants.

[usaf-vet]

26. I was so glad to see that the horrid photo of MTG was gone.

I couldn't figure out what her message was. The outfit said either hey look at me. Or she was playing out a scene from her favorite porn movie.

Gawd, that is one evil-looking creature. Please PLEASE limit any additional photos of that individual. I've had my fill for 2023.

[Gore1FL]

25. Tonya Harding had talent, though.

[MontanaMama]

27. Klu Klux Kruella

In that coat.

[mnhtnbb]

30. Oh, I like that description.

[CaptainTruth]

31. LOL!!!

[SheltieLover]

28. Apt description, imo.

[Fla Dem]

29. That's an insult to Tanya Harding.

[barbtries]

32. i hate the fucking hypocrisy of it.

she's like an eternal 7th grade mean girl. but what i mean is if Democrats did that to a wingnut president, it'd be all about "they're disrespecting the OFFICE of the presidency." hypocrisy.

this country is full of sick puppies. it must be that people like this not only win but win repeatedly. someone out there likes what they do.
