GOP Candidate Vows to Be a 'Mini Marjorie Taylor Greene' Once in Office
Texas GOP candidate Bianca Gracia pledged to be a "mini Marjorie Taylor Greene' if elected to office.
Gracia, who currently serves as the president of the organization Latinos for Trump, made the comparison to the controversial Republican Georgia representative during an appearance on The McFiles podcast on Wednesday. She praised Greene as "the only one right now that's really fighting back."
"They don't like her. So I might be a little mini Marjorie Taylor Greene," she said. "I don't know. They're going to call me BRG."
The comparison comes after Greene, who has long been a polarizing figure within the GOP, has continued making many controversial statements that have received condemnation from Democrats and Republicans.
Last week, she faced criticism for comparing the Capitol Police to the Gestapo, the secret police of Nazi Germany—though she instead said "gazpacho," which is a soup.
"So everything is completely out of control," Greene said during an appearance on One America News Network's real America with Dan Ball. "Not only do we have the DC jail, which is the DC Gulag, but now we have Nancy Pelosi's Gazpacho Police spying on members of Congress."
