Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) didn’t seem to win many friends on either side of the aisle with her antics during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night.
Even House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Ca.), usually an ally of the conspiracy theorist lawmaker, appeared to shush her several times during the address before Congress.
But she did win something else: She easily became the leading meme of the evening.
Earlier on, she turned up with a white balloon that was ripe for photo editing and Pennywise comparisons. And once inside, she was decked out in a white fur coat that drew comparisons to both Cruella de Vil from Disney’s Dalmatians franchise and the White Witch from the Narnia tales.
Her critics on Twitter were on the case:
