Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) weighed in on President Donald Trump‘s “rigged and stolen” election remarks, questioning who “rigged” the 2024 election.
Greene Cites Past Interference Claims, Calls Fraud Talk a Distraction
In a recent post on X, Greene questioned the 2024 results, citing disputed claims of Russian interference in 2016 and Chinese interference in 2020. She criticized officials now pushing fraud allegations, noting some previously dismissed similar 2020 claims from Mike Lindell and Sidney Powell while backing prosecution of Jan. 6 defendants.
“Has anyone been arrested besides Trump supporters? Nope,” Greene wrote, calling the renewed fraud talk a “big shiny object” distracting from the Iran conflict, unreleased Jeffrey Epstein files and unmet campaign promises.
In a separate post, Greene said “the foreign influence we are experiencing comes from Israel and their donors,” alleging Trump and Republicans are “controlled” by a foreign government.
Trump’s Primetime Address Sparks the Debate
Greene’s posts came after Trump’s prime-time address on Thursday, during which he claimed that the forces behind what he called the “stolen” 2020 election still pose a threat to the 2026 midterm elections. Trump used terms such as “rigged,” “corrupt” and “cover-up” while referring to newly declassified documents.
He also alleged that China had obtained 220 million U.S. voter records since 2020 and had tried to create illegal ballots for President Joe Biden. Beijing rejected the claim, calling it “entirely fabricated” and “maliciously slanderous.”
The comments are part of a broader pattern. In August 2025, Trump referenced Russian President Vladimir Putin’s remarks following their Alaska summit to support his claims about fraud in the 2020 election. Trump said Putin stated, “If you would’ve won, we wouldn’t have had a war.”
A declassified March 2021 assessment from the U.S. National Intelligence Council, coordinated with the CIA, FBI, DHS and NSA, concluded with “high confidence” that China did not deploy interference efforts intended to change the outcome of the 2020 election.
An Associated Press review found little new information in the released files, some heavily redacted.
