The MAGA Rep. claimed during an interview that Trump is 'joining some of the most incredible people in history' with his arrest.

During an interview with Brian Glenn of the Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) on Tuesday, Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene compared former President Donald Trump's imminent arraignment on criminal charges to the arrests of Nelson Mandela and Jesus Christ.

Greene made the statement while en route to a pro-Trump rally in downtown Manhattan, where she was the headline speaker. She claimed that Trump was "joining some of the most incredible people in history being arrested today," adding that he had "done nothing wrong."


You can hear what Greene said in the video below.

Greene said:

"Nelson Mandela was arrested, served time in prison. Jesus was arrested and murdered by the Roman government."
"There have been many people throughout history that have been arrested and persecuted by radical, corrupt governments, and it's beginning today in New York City, and I just can't believe it's happening, but I'll always support him. He's done nothing wrong."

Greene, who has been dating Glenn since late last year, left the rally after 20 minutes, having recycled earlier comments she had made attacking Democrats, immigration policies, and LGBTQ rights.

Despite Trump's prediction of "death and destruction" and mass unrest ahead of his indictment by the Manhattan district attorney's office, the rally was small and peaceful, with only around 100 Trump supporters in attendance. They were significantly outnumbered by members of the media.

Greene's comparison of Trump to Mandela and Christ has been widely criticized.

Many viewed it as an inappropriate and disrespectful characterization of two historical figures who faced genuine persecution and discrimination. The comparison has been seen as particularly egregious given Trump is a former President facing charges related to an alleged cover-up of an extramarital affair.



On Tuesday afternoon, the ex-President turned himself in at the Manhattan Criminal Court and was taken into custody.

He has been accused of committing 34 felony charges, which include the fabrication of business records to conceal a payment of $130,000 made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in the last days of his 2016 presidential campaign, allegedly to keep her from revealing their alleged affair.

Trump and his legal team maintain that he did nothing wrong in connection to the payment.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
