MTG drops $65K of Campaign Funds for "additional security fence for residence" at her GA home.

.

The line-item from Greene's schedule B itemized disbursements list for her campaign shows she spent $65,257.49 on "additional security fence for residence" in March of this year. The funds appear to have gone to Bartow Fence Company Inc., which is based in Georgia.

The campaign expenditure is legal due to FEC rules allowing candidates greater ability to spend campaign cash on personal protection, but spending more than $65,000 on her home fence stands out in a district where $54,634 was the median household income for a whole year in 2020.

I guess those anti-zombie apocalypse fortifications are pretty expensive.

$65,000 for a fence? She's become exactly what she pretends to rail against.

Doesn’t pass the smell test by about 60k. I’m sure nothing will come of this revelation. Because reasons.

All you need is a ladder and some car mats. Gets you over concertina and barbed wire, too.

That's only been known for, oh, 30 years, at least.

The fence must have machine gun towers placed every 100 feet.
