Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her husband are frequent stock traders.
Several of the Greenes’ stock trades are with companies whose values conflict with those of MTG.
Insider compiled each of Greene and her family’s trades that she has reported since 2021.
As members of Congress debate whether they and their spouses should be able to trade stocks, Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her family continue to regularly buy, sell, and hold stock in various companies.
Some of Greene’s investments appear to stand in direct opposition with the Georgia congresswoman’s political statements and ideology.
Notable examples include Greene and her husband’s investments in Visa and Walmart, two companies whose executives have openly supported the Black Lives Matter movement. Despite her investment in the companies, Greene has expressed serious disdain for the movement.
In April 2021, Greene called Black Lives Matter the “strongest terrorist threat” in the country and introduced legislation to give Congressional Gold Medals to “the law enforcement officers and those who protected American cities during the Black Lives Matter (BLM) riots.”
Greene and her husband, Perry Greene, have also invested significant amounts of money in companies that say they’ll pay for their employees to travel out-of-state to obtain abortions. Greene is a staunch opponent of abortion rights.
Additionally, Greene and her husband also continue to hold up to $45,000 in stock in the Walt Disney Company, which the congresswoman accused of being “pro-child predator” for opposing Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law.
Greene also recently suggested that the Highland Park shooter could have suffered from psychosis due to smoking marijuana and has voted against several marijuana-related bills while in office. In spite of this, Insider found that she and her husband previously held and sold stock in Medical Marijuana Inc.
Greene previously told Insider in an email that she does not personally make any of her trades.
“I have an independent investment advisor that has full discretionary authority on my accounts,” Greene wrote. “I do not direct any trades.”
Here are all of the trades reported by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene during 2021 and 2022:

Greene faced criticism for her purchase of Lockheed Martin stock on February 22, 2022, as it came just two days before Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Lockheed Martin manufactures some of the weapon systems the United States government has sent to Ukraine.
“Add this to the list of why members of Congress should never be allowed to trade stocks,” Rep. Ilhan Omar said.
Following the Highland Park mass shooting on July 4, 2022, Greene suggested that the shooter suffered from psychosis due to frequent marijuana usage.
It “affects everyone differently,” Greene said in the video, “Some people thrive on it. Some people do well on it. Some people say they can focus on it, but for some people, it actually causes psychosis, which absolutely could be the case … if you watch any of this guy’s music videos, he clearly was suffering from psychosis.”
Greene also voted against or abstained from voting in House votes relating to marijuana.

Greene has expressed skepticism toward the climate-change crisis and humans’ role in the planet’s warming. “Maybe perhaps we live on a ball that rotates around the sun, that flies through the universe, and maybe our climate just changes,” Greene said at a town hall in Murray County, Georgia.
Despite this, she invested in NextEra, a power-generation company that’s been vocal about working to diversify its power generation toward renewable and low-emission sources.
“Our industry can best confront climate change by investing in clean power generation that produces zero or low emissions,” NextEra said in a 2020 report. “We believe that no company in any industry has done more to reduce carbon emissions and to confront climate change than NextEra Energy.”

The company also sells Black Lives Matter-themed merchandise on its website, as well.

Speaking with Infowars broadcaster and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones in March 2022, Greene railed against the Walt Disney Company and accused it of sexualizing children.
“This is supposed to be the happiest place on Earth, a place where innocence is celebrated. But it seems to be the place where innocence is actually under attack.” She added, “Walt Disney — they need to pay a serious price for this.”
Despite her views, Greene and her husband continue to hold up to $45,000 in stock in the Walt Disney Company.
Methodology note: In 2012, Congress passed the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act to combat insider trading and conflicts of interest to bring more transparency to lawmakers’ financial dealings.
Per the STOCK Act, members of Congress are required to file financial disclosures within 45 days of making a trade, doing so in a certified congressional document known as a periodic transaction report. Insider collected and analyzed the trades listed in each of Greene’s periodic transaction reports submitted since 2021.
Federal lawmakers are required to report stock trades made by themselves, their spouses, and their dependent children. But they are only required to list the value of reported trades in broad ranges.
