Marjorie Taylor Greene attacks Curb Your Enthusiasm for depicting Trump supporters as ‘racists and rednecks’

Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has picked a fight with legendary comedian Larry David, complaining that the latest episode of his long-running HBO show Curb Your Enthusiasm “lied” by portraying conservatives as “racists and rednecks”.

In a lengthy post on X, the hard-right Georgia populist and conspiracy theorist said that the comedy show stands as “a glaring reminder of why most Georgian’s resent Republicans in our state for inviting the nasty commies from California, the Hollywood elites, into our state by dishing out Hollywood tax credits”.

She continued: “This week’s episode lied and painted GA conservatives and Trump supporters as racists and rednecks and made fun of our good new law that stops the Stacey Abrams vote pandering machine and prevents voter fraud.

“We in Georgia are fed up with disgusting Hollywood and their disgusting values and elite judgement in our state that is trying to turn GA blue!”

Several further paragraphs follow in which Ms Greene veers off into raving about electric vehicles and George Soros.

Curb has just commenced its 12th and final season and the episode that so triggered Ms Greene saw David (who plays an exaggerated version of himself) arrested under the Peach State’s Election Integrity Act 2021 for the crime of offering a voter a sip of water while queuing at a polling booth on a hot day, a situation that leads his case to become a cause celebre and prompts Ms Abrams, a Democratic ballot access activist, and rock superstar Bruce Springsteen to make cameo appearances as themselves, leaping to his defence.

In another scene, David is forced to go door-to-door in Atlanta, seeking a replacement for a racist lawn statue he has accidentally damaged at his Airbnb, leading to
