Marjorie Taylor Greene came under fire on social media when she hit out at Democratic Representative Maxine Waters, after the 85-year-old criticized her for having a government Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan written off during the coronavirus pandemic.
Taylor Commercial Inc., the company Greene owned with her then-husband, received a $183,504 PPP loan write-off in April 2020, according to publicly available records. This consisted of the original $182,300 loan, plus the interest that had been accrued. PPP loans were introduced during the Donald Trump administration in 2020 to support small businesses during the pandemic, as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
After being criticized over the loan forgiveness by Waters, Greene replied in a lengthy post on X, formerly Twitter: "Maxine Waters is attacking me for taking a PPP loan (like so many had to), before I was a member of congress, when the tyrannical government shut us all down. Maxine is 85 yrs old and has held government office since 1976!!!

"She has no idea what it's like to meet payroll and keep a business running. Maxine is everything wrong with politicians today. Too old. No real life experience. Corrupt and tyrannical. Is she going to cling to power until she dies like so many of her peers?" Greene added.
The post went viral, receiving more than 6,600 shares, 1.3 million views and garnering 8,500 comments. Newsweek has contacted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for comment by telephone and voicemail message."...
