NEWARK, OH - APRIL 30: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) speaks during a campaign rally for J.D. Vance, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Ohio, at The Trout Club on April 30, 2022 in Newark, Ohio. Former President Donald Trump recently endorsed J.D. Vance in the Ohio Republican Senate primary, bolstering his profile heading into the May 3 primary election. Other candidates in the Republican Senate primary field include Josh Mandel, Mike Gibbons, Jane Timken, Matt Dolan and Mark Pukita.

Marjorie Taylor Greene needs to check her idioms after unironically comparing herself to something of little or no importance

Who does she think she is, Val Kilmer?

Politicians are hardly famed for double and triple-checking their verbiage before unleashing it on an unsuspecting world, but Marjorie Taylor Greene has completely and totally unironically compared herself to something that has little or no intrinsic value.

Not that it’s the most far-fetched thing in the world when the Capitol Hill Karen has been grabbing more headlines for her deranged online ramblings more than her contributions to the political sphere, but you can’t help but admire the straight-faced way in which she demanded an impeachment before comparing herself to the entire Republican Party’s huckleberry.

If The Notorious M.T.G. did her due diligence, then maybe she’d have found out that the idiom originated in the 1800s from the small berry of the same name. However, because huckleberries are so minute in scale, saying that “I’m your huckleberry” became widely-used to figuratively describe anything of minor, little, or in some cases zero importance.

We’re not saying there’s a direct correlation here, but given that any time MTG unholsters her itchy Twitter finger, things usually go south pretty quickly in the comments. Having already gotten trashed several times over the course of just the weekend by assuming that beer is a gendered product and then urging people to “rejoice” on a brief sabbatical from spewing bile and vitriol, we dare say there may be even more to come in the very near future.
