Marjorie Taylor Greene Admits She Votes First, Reads Later

NEED TO KNOW

  • Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene just discovered she voted for a 10-year AI loophole buried on page 278 of a bill she already supported.
  • She now says she’s “adamantly opposed” to what she already voted for and blames the length of the bill.
  • Greene vows to read at least some of the bill next time, or maybe just the memes about it.

Greene Discovers Surprise Inside “One Big Beautiful Bill”

The “One Big Beautiful Bill” has become a treasure trove of surprises for Congress, especially Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. She admitted, with trademark candor, that she had no clue about a section blocking states from regulating AI for a full decade. The offending section appeared on pages 278-279, which Greene says is farther than she usually reads before voting “yes” or “no.”

AI on the Loose, Details in the Fine Print

The controversial provision prevents states from creating or enforcing AI regulations until 2035. Greene now claims she would have voted “no” if only she had made it past page 200. “They hide all the sneaky stuff in the middle,” she explained on social media, “and nobody warned me to look for AI taking over Georgia.”

The Congressional Reading Challenge

Capitol Hill insiders say Greene is not alone. Lawmakers from both parties often rely on staffers, Twitter threads, or “choose your own adventure” summaries to get the gist of mega-bills. Greene promises to read the Senate’s changes herself—unless they use big words or put things in the footnotes.

Experts Warn of More Surprises Ahead

Political analysts point out that Greene’s honesty is rare but not unique. “She at least admits she missed it,” said one, “unlike some colleagues who still think AI is a new soda flavor.” With AI regulation now delayed by a decade, Congress may soon debate whether robots are eligible for Congressional medals.

Will She Read the Next Bill?

When pressed, Greene said she will “absolutely not vote yes” again without knowing what’s inside—unless, of course, someone tells her it’s a “beautiful” bill. As the Senate prepares to strip or tweak the AI language, all eyes are on Greene’s reading comprehension skills and her ability to spot plot twists in thousand-page Legislation.
