Marjorie Taylor Greene's Book Hit by Negative Reviews

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s new book has apparently been met with negative reviews on the Barnes & Noble website.

The far-right congresswoman’s memoir, called MTG, was published in the U.S. on Tuesday.

MTG is marked as a “new release” on the Barnes & Noble website, but its rating is not immediately visible and no customer reviews can be seen on the book’s page.

In other parts of the website, the book’s rating, which is below two stars out of five, can be seen.

Barnes & Noble and Greene’s office have been contacted for comment via email overnight, and this article will be updated if a comment is received.

The book had a 1.6-star rating and seven reviews, according to screenshots of the book’s page on the Barnes & Noble site shared by journalist Molly Jong-Fast on X, formerly Twitter, last week.

At time of writing, Greene’s book currently has no reviews on Amazon or on Goodreads as it has only just been released. It does not appear to have yet been reviewed by critics in the U.S.

Greene has been promoting her book in recent days. “I talk January 6, I give inside stories about the Swamp you won’t hear anywhere else, and yes, I talk about those Jewish Space Lasers,” she wrote in a post on X last week.

“What a shameless grifter. Disgusting to be profiting off the suffering of J6ers,” fellow Trump ally Laura Loomer wrote in response, adding in another post that Greene’s book was “trash.”

On Monday, The Guardian reported that the Georgia Republican’s book was printed in Canada despite Greene being a leading supporter of former President Donald Trump’s “America First” policies and founder of the America First Caucus.

The Guardian had previously reported that Greene falsely claimed in the book that no Democrats had remained in the House chamber on January 6, 2021, to defend it from supporters of Trump who stormed the U.S. Capitol in a bid to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory.

Greene wrote: “Several of the Republican congressmen said, ‘We’re going to stay right here and defend the House chamber.’ As they began barricading the door with furniture, I noticed not one Democrat was willing to stay to defend the chamber.”

Rep. Jason Crow, a Colorado Democrat, told the newspaper that Greene’s claim was “patently false.”

Greene “doesn’t exist in the same reality as the rest of us,” Crow said. “For those of us who were there on January 6 and actually defended the chamber from violent insurrectionists, her view is patently false. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about.”

Greene’s book also reportedly dedicates a whole chapter to hitting back at allegations of antisemitism stemming from her infamous claim on social media in 2018 that “Jewish space lasers” had caused wildfires in California.

Greene wrote that she made the claim in a “sarcastic social media post years before I was elected,” according to The Forward, a Jewish nonprofit publication.

“My Savior is a Jewish carpenter who died on the cross for my sins, and I have no antisemitic sentiments whatsoever,” she wrote.
