Controversial candidate Marjorie Taylor Greene lists Big Tech as her "enemy" - but is happy to invest

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Aug. 31, 2020

Marjorie Taylor Greene, controversial GOP nominee likely to replace retiring Rep. Tom Graves (R-Ga.) in Congress, positions herself as anti-Big Tech. But the Republican candidate has no problem investing in Apple, Facebook and her other purported "enemies."

Greene, perhaps best known for her embrace of QAnon and other conspiracy theories, lists investments in multiple Silicon Valley giants on her latest financial disclosure report. She and her husband own stock in Alphabet, Amazon, Apple and Facebook. Greene personally owns between $15,001 and $50,000 in Apple stock and lists the value of her other Big Tech investments as between $1,001 and $15,000 each.

Greene has at various points listed "Big Tech" among her "enemies" and called for an end to the industry's censorship of conservatives. She's called out Facebook in particular for "defending terrorists" after the social-media site removed a campaign video in which she brandishes an AR-15 and warns Antifa to "stay the hell out of Northwest Georgia."
