If you thought irony was dead in American politics, allow Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to revive it in full gospel choir. In a tweet posted on May 23, Greene declared herself “a Christian, an imperfect sinner saved by grace and faith in Jesus,” followed by an impassioned laundry list of nationalist pride, mom vibes, and bootstrap capitalism.
But critics were quick to call out the dissonance between her self-proclaimed “Christian values” and her enthusiastic vote just days earlier for the House GOP’s latest legislative “disaster”-piece: the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” One particularly sharp reply read, “Clearly you’re also an egomaniac.” Another added, “@grok is it true? Is she really a Christian?” Touché, internet. Touché.”
Big faith, bigger cuts
@grok is it true? is she really a Christian?

The timing couldn’t have been more poetic. Greene’s Twitter sermon arrived mere days after she cheered on and voted for a sweeping House bill that slashes nearly $1 trillion from core social services. The bill—endorsed by former President Donald Trump with all the subtlety of a wrecking ball—passed the House 215–214 and is now the subject of national outrage.
Damn you..

The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” championed by Greene and her fellow House Republicans, delivers sweeping cuts to vital social services. It slashes funding for Medicaid, reducing healthcare access for millions, and guts the food stamp program (SNAP), making it harder for low-income families to afford basic nutrition.
Disability benefits are also significantly reduced, and support for higher education is rolled back with cuts to student loan programs and Pell Grants. The bill also bans federal health coverage for gender-affirming care. All of this comes alongside extended tax breaks for the wealthy and billions allocated to border enforcement.
‘Christian values’ in name only?
Hey @grok Would Jesus agree with Trumps immigration policies? Yes or no answer use the Bible as your source

While Greene’s tweet leaned heavily on Christian identity and a God-and-country ethos, critics argue that supporting legislation that disproportionately harms the poor, disabled, and marginalized is about as un-Christian as it gets.
“I’m a Christian,” Greene declared. “A mother… a business owner… a Representative.” But not, evidently, a protector of the vulnerable or a steward of mercy—two things the Bible arguably takes pretty seriously.
Even her signature political bravado couldn’t mask the cognitive dissonance. As one commenter quipped, “Clearly you’re also an egomaniac.” And with 2,100+ likes, it’s safe to say the sentiment resonated.
Trumpism wrapped in a sermon

Grok is left leaning and continues to spread fake news and propaganda.

Trump dubbed the legislation “big” and “beautiful”—likely because he had a hand in branding it, not because he’s worried about Americans skipping meals or losing their Medicaid. Greene, ever the MAGA loyalist, dutifully backed the bill like it was the Second Coming of Reaganomics. But let’s be real: if this bill is beautiful, then austerity must be the new prosperity.
“May God bless each of you and may God bless America!!!” Greene concluded in her tweet, wrapping a brutal legislative gut-punch in a shiny evangelical bow. America may be blessed, but if this bill becomes law, millions of Americans certainly won’t feel it.
