In Marjorie Taylor Greene’s latest political 360, she now claims she was a victim of ‘media lies’ about QAnon

Wait 5 sec.

After her ugly breakup with Donald Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene is tirelessly trying to rewrite herself from scratch. In her latest rebirth strategy, she’s blaming the media and the internet for pushing her into conspiracy theories like QAnon. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has been a well-known conspiracy theorist for most of her political career. But appearing on The View in November, Greene insisted she is not the person who once rode conspiracy culture straight into Congress. That version of her, she now says, was a fabrication. And she blames misunderstandings, a case of bad clips, and bad media for all of it. “I went over that a long time ago,” Greene told the panel when host Sonny Hostin asked her if she still believes in QAnon. She continued, “I haven’t changed. I was a victim, just like you were. Of media lies and stuff you read on social media.” So, according to this “new” Marjorie Taylor Greene, QAnon wasn’t something she embraced. It was something that happened to her. The pivot is shameless.Marjorie Taylor Greene spent years amplifying QAnon garbage. Now she’s on The View pretending she was just an innocent bystander who got “misled by social media.”From conspiracy peddler to self-declared victim. pic.twitter.com/JXCk4LybRS— Brian Allen (@allenanalysis) December 28, 2025 Before entering Congress, Greene repeatedly promoted core tenets of QAnon. For those who never heard of it (good for you), it’s a far-right conspiracy theory that a secret elite cabal traffics children while Donald Trump secretly fights them. And as cringeworthy as it sounds, Greene amplified that ecosystem throughout the foundational years of her political career. The Congresswoman regularly liked, shared, and posted content invoking “Q drops” and shadowy cabals. She even wrote for American Truth Seekers, a website openly aligned with QAnon narratives. By the time Greene won her House seat in 2020, her QAnon history was so extensive that it triggered bipartisan alarm to strip her of committee assignments. (via CNBC) Greene has since tried multiple exit strategies from her embarrassing QAnon past. In 2021, she said she stopped believing in QAnon three years ago after realizing it contained “misinformation.” Later, she framed her involvement as a result of spending too much time online. Now, the explanation has evolved again. She didn’t admit she was wrong, but claimed she was misled instead. Trying to escape accountability, she said the media exaggerated everything. But as one user on X puts it, “This is the playbook for a lot of these politicians. Shift narratives and avoid accountability.” And Greene is utilizing every trick of that playbook. She is tirelessly trying to recast herself as collateral damage in a broken information system. But Americans aren’t dumb enough for her tactics to work. What the Congresswoman is asking for now is erasure of her part. But she should be asking for forgiveness instead. As another user explained, “She was a big part of the problem, but sees how truly corrupt this administration is and wants to distance. What she owes is an apology to Americans.” The MAGA residue wants a political clean slate by reframing her own words as media fiction. Too bad, nobody believes a word out of her mouth anymore.
