Marjorie Taylor Greene Faces Backlash for Beer Money Request

Marjorie Taylor Greene faced backlash after posting a now-deleted message on X, urging her followers to send beer money to her son for his 22nd birthday. Despite her estimated net worth of nearly $22 million, critics, including some from her own party, found the request inappropriate and classless, particularly in light of ongoing economic uncertainty in the U.S. Greene's post included a link to her son's Venmo account, raising ethical concerns regarding a sitting Congress member soliciting funds, even if through her personal account. Although the post was removed shortly after sharing, it was widely circulated through screenshots, prompting discussions about the ethics of her actions. Some observers likened this incident to past controversies involving celebrities soliciting funds for personal matters. Greene has not publicly addressed the deletion of the post or the ensuing criticism.
