Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) raised eyebrows on Tuesday when she posted to X that following President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter, she would like a “blanket pardon” from President-elect Donald Trump.

“If Democrats are going to play the pardon game then we should do the same thing,” Greene wrote, adding:

Trump can just blanket pardon all of us too.

The odd post was met with a bevy of replies from users asking Greene what crime she committed or plans to commit that would require a pardon. The House Jan. 6th Committee revealed in 2022 that one of their witnesses testified that Greene had contacted the Trump White House in its final days asking for a pardon. The Hill reported at the time:

Greene, [Cassidy] Hutchinson said, did not contact her directly, but she said she had heard that Greene contacted the White House Counsel’s office for a pardon.

Greene pushed back on the testimony in a tweet, but did not directly deny asking for a pardon.

“Saying ‘I heard’ means you don’t know,” Greene said. “Spreading gossip and lies is exactly what the January 6th Witch Hunt Committee is all about.”

Trump ally and MAGA influencer Laura Loomer replied, “JUST IN: MTG admits she has done something that would make her need a pardon.” Loomer and Greene have long had bad blood between them and feuded publicly as both conspiracy-minded Republicans fight for influence in the MAGA base.
