Extremist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene received a MAGA-themed nickname from fellow firebrand Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz on Wednesday.
Gaetz, of Florida, branded the conspiracy theory-peddling Georgia lawmaker a “MAGA Queen.”
MAGA Queen @mtgreenee! https://t.co/24cHsDt8Pl

Critics of the far-right lawmakers — who both baselessly claim former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election ― immediately pounced on Twitter, suggesting the nickname wasn’t the compliment Gaetz may have meant.
She’s a queen alright. Yelling, screaming and symbolic gestures to try and “own the libs” while looking like ass-clowns passes for legislating. Hopefully, enough voters have already seen enough to end this thin majority next year. pic.twitter.com/DVMssbtHOg

She’s the red queen.

Running in place, never getting anywhere, calling for everyone’s heads.
WE the People have a history of shrugging off "royal rule." Read up on it.

No, Qanon Queen.

I've lost count of all of those she has 'impeached" since Day 1. NONE of them have had any merit and have been laughed at by Conservatives. She's a joke and an embarrassment. I can see why magats adore her.🤡
Drama queen

She's a court jester, at best.

She keeps drawing up articles of impeachment but has any of that ever gone forward like ever? I can't remember her actually impeaching someone, let alone successfully.

Is it just me or is that not the compliment they think it is? #MarjorieTaylorGreeneIsSoDumb

She's the queen of cheap drama alright.

But I somehow doubt that that's what they meant... pic.twitter.com/5bvgBqVar6
