Marjorie Taylor Greene Mocks Executives in “Little Farmer Outfits” at Town Hall, “You’re Not Foolin’ Anybody”

Marjorie Taylor Greene

U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who is resigning from her the House of Representatives in January, traded in her Washington work clothes for a denim jacket and pair of jeans for her appearance at a public hearing in Murray County, Georgia on Thursday.

Greene addressed a packed gymnasium of residents who are protesting a proposed bio-energy plant in the town of Chatsworth (population 4,943). Chatsworth residents have complained that bioenergy waste processing “produces gases, namely ammonia, methane and hydrogen sulfide, which have been documented by the EPA to cause respiratory distress and unpleasant odors extending up to one mile from similar facilities.”

The company behind the project, Vanguard Renewables (a portfolio company of Global Infrastructure Partners, a part of BlackRock), said at the hearing that the plant will convert food waste and farm waste into renewable natural gas, and that there would be no harmful effects to the residents.

But Greene says her constituents in the county having been calling her “livid, begging, pleading, shouting and saying to stop this disgusting thing.”

As seen below, Greene addressed the eight male representatives from Vanguard at the hearing and belittled their attire.

When Greene said, “I looked you up and down and I thought, ‘Boy, those boys went out and got plaid shirts just for this meeting,” the crowd erupted in laughter, applause and cheering.

She added, “Some of you are dumb enough to wear dress shoes with your little farmers outfits,” which again got the crowd riled up. Greene targeted one Vanguard executive in a white baseball cap and said, “And you’re not foolin’ anybody with your brand new hat, which is way too white.” Greene also chastised the man for not wearing a Georgia hat, “Pitiful.”

Georgia’s Environmental Protection Division, which hosted the public hearing, says it will take public comments on Vanguard Renewables’ air and wastewater permits before making a final decision.
