Known for her controversial views, including support for QAnon conspiracy theories and outlandish assertions such as the California wildfires being caused by a "Jewish space laser," Greene has been a polarizing figure since her election to the House in 2020. Megan Smith-USA TODAY

During her appearance on Real America’s Voice, Greene argued, “Here’s one thing I would like to point out. They’ve attacked me continuously, called me radical, fringe extremists,” adding, “President Trump will have over five million of the popular vote ahead of Kamala Harris. He will, by the time this is done, likely have 312 electoral college votes.” Richard Burkhart/Savannah Morning News / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images
Greene has been a staunch supporter of Trump and has recently criticized the potential inclusion of figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy in Trump's administration, arguing that loyalty to Trump should be prioritized. Mandi Wright / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images
“It’s important to realize who stood with President Trump from the beginning, never backed down, never stabbed him in the back, never tried to beat him,” Greene stated. Joshua L. Jones / USA TODAY NETWORK
