Oops: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's official Facebook page is filled with images insulting the lawmaker as a cavewoman, clown, and 'whore'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene speaks
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican of Georgia, speaks at a news conference outside the US Capitol on June 14, 2021.
  • Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's official Facebook pages are filled with photos and memes that taunt her.
  • One photo calls Greene "the whore of Congress." 
  • It appears the congresswoman didn't adjust her Facebook settings to prevent this.

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's official Facebook pages are filled with photos and memes of her that range from kooky to misogynistic — one calls her a "whore" and another depict her as a cavewoman. 

They're sprinkled among typical political photos of Greene: grinning with President Donald Trump, speaking at GOP dinners, mugging for the camera with constituents.

It appears Greene did not adjust her Facebook privacy settings to prevent people from tagging her on images, which has resulted in distasteful content appearing on her "tagged photos" page for most anyone to see.

Adjusting one's privacy settings to prevent tagged posts from appearing publicly on one's Facebook site takes a few mouse clicks and is basic social media hygiene for most political candidates — as well as many Facebook users who don't hold an elected office.

Greene, who earlier this year endured a 24-hour suspension from Facebook for posting COVID-19 misinformation, did not respond to Insider's requests for comment. 

The freshman congresswoman from Georgia is up for reelection in November in a race where she is heavily favored. She faces Democrat Marcus Flowers after handily defeating five challengers in a GOP primary race.
