Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) flew into New York this week to protest the arrest and arraignment of Donald Trump.
Unsurprisingly, the city left Greene unimpressed. She took every opportunity to blast it as a crime-ridden Democratic cesspool. She reserved particular ire for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and NYC Mayor Eric Adams.
However, one tweet, in particular, had Twitter users wondering about her knowledge of the city.
“New York City looks like Gotham City,” she said, in a way that was not meant as a compliment.
New York City looks like Gotham City.

Gotham vs. New York City
In fact, Gotham City has been a nickname for New York City since the early 19th century. Original Batman writer Bill Finger said he took the name for his fictional Batman city after flicking through a New York phone book. ‘Gotham City’ was largely based on the architecture of New York. Finger said he resisted calling Batman’s home New York City as he wanted people in other cities to identify with the tale. He instead opted for a fictional name.
Clearly, Greene was unaware of this, but the internet was quick to remind her.
The comic has based Gotham on NYC since 1939, dipshit.

NYC IS Gotham City you moron.

Others reminded her she was free to leave.
Then get the f out. We like it here. Just leave. Simple.
Greene led a rally near the courthouse where Trump was arraigned yesterday on 34 business fraud-related charges. A large number of counter-protestors blew whistles while Greene tried to speak. She didn’t stick around for long.
“Trump is joining some of the most incredible people in history being arrested today. Nelson Mandela was arrested, served time in prison. Jesus — Jesus was arrested and murdered by the Roman government.”
Greene later asked people in a tweet to pray from Donald Trump, saying “this is awful.” This prompted a response from talk show host Andy Cohen. He invited her to join him at the the historic Stonewall Inn for a martini.
Meet me at Stonewall for an espresso martini Marge??
Greene passed up on the offer and instead hot-footed it down to Florida last night to join Trump at Mar-A-Lago.

MAGA target judge’s daughter for criticism
At his Florida home, Trump delivered a typically rambling speech railing against the charges brought against him earlier. He pleaded “not guilty” to them all during his court appearance yesterday.
He singled out the judge in the case, Justice Juan Merchan.
“I have a Trump-hating judge with a Trump-hating family, whose daughter worked for Kamala Harris.”
“You want to get President Trump at any cost,” Trump said. “As it turns out, everyone who has looked at this case … says there is no crime and it should never have been brought. Never have been brought.
Greene, along with Trump’s sons Don Jr. and Eric, all later tweeted photos of Justice Juan Merchan’s daughter, pointing out she’d worked on Kamala Harris’s Presidential campaign.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, Eric Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. have all posted photos of the judge’s daughter on social media. My God.

We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
@Scotty, its not “pathetic” to acknowledge something that is true. Jesus was a real human being who really walked the earth. I am an Agnostic and will leave the question of whether or not he was who he claimed to be to others, but as Kangol2 has stated, there is considerable documentation that Jesus was real.
Gotham was a Final Jeopardy clue just last week – Washington Irving (of Headless Horseman fame) started it as a NYC nickname. I’m shocked that MTG doesn’t watch “Jeopardy!” /s
I think about her often when I hear names like MTG or Gym Jordan and realize they will ALL fade into the dust bin of history, so no need to get too worked up about them.
This is why tolerant people should be intolerant of lies and liars. This person is proof that there are suckers born every minute – and here is Queerty giving them attention! Are the editors aware that there is no such thing as bad publicity? MTG is collecting cash, donations and support with every story published.
I’m not making comparisons; however, most individuals don’t know that Adolph Hitler got the same “super-star” media treatment as MTG and tRump. Adolf Hitler was sentenced for his role in the Beer Hall Putsch of November 8, 1923 – released early due to media attention demanding that tolerant people forgive his leidenschaft (enthusiasm). The attempted coup in Munich by right-wing members of the army and the Nazi Party was foiled by the government. Sound familiar?
Media helping such scum is contributes to a dangerous path. Learn from history Queerty instead of repeating it.
@ Still on the mark ; you think MTG would watch Jeopardy ? She might learn.something..then.her empty head would explode M aybe) T (hat’s).a
G (ood ) thing
It is rather surprising just how resourceful a bleach blond gorilla can be. What’s odd is that she hasn’t been captured and returned to her zoo habitat. Instead she’s still running wild in the streets, terrorizing the public.
She arrived in NYC to stage her stunt and it failed badly, so she hoofed it right back out of the city, down to Don the Con’s cult capital, Mar a Lago. One thing most people are not mentioning is that should Don the Con be convicted in New York, he will not have the get-out-of-jail cards he might have with federal and Georgia State convictions for crimes under those jurisdictions. Should Don the Con be convicted in New York, he’ll probably have to serve some time as a felon, even if it’s probationary!
They are class C. Though still strong there is no violence involved. I just don’t see jail time like the insurrection would bring. Violence makes a big difference in sentencing.
DT is a sociopath with mob boss behavior who aspires to establish an autocracy with the help of a now neo-fascist Republican Party and its MAGA phalanx of Trumpidiots. The far right wants to impose its ideology on the country now that it has the Supreme Court on its side and this thanks to Trump. The risk of your country imploding is growing. DT and the MAGA will do everything they can to destroy your country. Their goal is to cause mayhem and chaos. Be prepared.

Jesus is a fictional character. Unfortunately, Trump is a real person.
There is no universe where they should be compared to each other.
Kangol2
Actually, Jesus of Nazareth was a real, historical person. There’s considerable documentation of this.
That said, you are correct in saying, “There is no universe where they should be compared to each other.”
NONE.
scotty
not real. fictional, as in fairy tales. historical figure? youre pathetic.

Not a chance serving time on a first offense and such a flimsy low level charge. A fine most likely.

“34 felonies” is not a “low level charge.”

So…
A bleached-out Georgia Skunk Ape didn’t like her trip to the city?
What a shock. Maybe she should go back to hiding in the swamp and terrifying rednecks and stoners with her hooting and stomping about.

Or she can run after the Bundy’s in east Or. They’ll take her in. Another asshole family of rednecks and losers.
