Marjorie Taylor Greene's Surprise Meeting with Code Pink Sparks Conservative Fury

Yesterday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) met with members of Code Pink, a far-left feminist anti-war activist group, in her congressional office, just weeks before her planned resignation from Congress in January 2026. The encounter, which included a group photo and warm exchanges on social media, has ignited a firestorm of backlash from MAGA supporters and conservative commentators, who view it as a bizarre betrayal of Republican values.

Critics are dubbing it the latest sign of Greene's "descent into madness," especially amid her recent public feud with President Donald Trump and her hardening anti-Israel stance.

What Happened? The Meeting Details:

Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin posted on X (formerly Twitter) about the visit, sharing a photo of Greene posing with a group of activists, many wearing keffiyehs (a symbol often associated with Palestinian solidarity). Benjamin praised Greene as a "strong anti-war voice in Congress" and said the group wanted to thank her and express that they "will miss her" after she leaves office.

Greene responded enthusiastically on X, calling Benjamin her "friend" despite "politics saying that’s not allowed," and reiterated her "America First" commitment: "I’m fully against funding foreign wars and support peace because that’s good for everyone especially the most innocent people, children."

Timing and Context: This isn't Greene's first brush with the group—similar interactions occurred in 2023—but it comes at a pivotal moment. Greene announced her abrupt resignation in late 2025, citing exhaustion from internal GOP battles and criticism from Trump himself, who called her out over her push to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson. Her office confirmed the meeting focused on shared opposition to U.S. foreign aid, particularly for Ukraine and Israel.

Who Is Code Pink?

Code Pink, founded in 2002 by Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans, is a self-described "feminist grassroots organization" dedicated to ending U.S. "warfare and militarism" while redirecting funds to social programs like healthcare and education.

The group is known for high-profile protests, including disrupting congressional hearings and events. Notably:They claimed responsibility for crashing a September 2025 Washington, D.C., dinner where protesters got within feet of Trump, shouting that he "is the Hitler of our time."

Today, Code Pink activists interrupted a House hearing led by Rep. Kristi Noem (R-SD) on border security, demanding an end to ICE raids on undocumented immigrants, further fueling outrage over Greene's association.

The "CCP-funded" label in the headline stems from longstanding conservative allegations that Code Pink receives indirect support from the Chinese Communist Party through affiliated networks or donors sympathetic to Beijing's anti-U.S. foreign policy agenda. Reports from outlets like the Daily Caller cite ties via Benjamin's international activism, though Code Pink denies direct funding and frames itself as independent.

Critics also link the group to pro-Iran, pro-BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions against Israel), and socialist causes, calling it "anti-American" and "pro-Islamic regime."

The Backlash: "Biggest Backstabbing Phony"?

Greene's move has drawn swift condemnation from across the right-wing spectrum, with many invoking the "horseshoe theory"—the idea that far-left and far-right extremes converge in their radicalism.

Key reactions:

Fox News contributor Joe Concha: "'Marjorie Temu Greene' now embracing Code Pink. Are you getting this yet?" - a jab tying her to cheap Chinese imports (Temu) and CCP ties.

Laura Loomer labeled it a "blunder," accusing Greene of cozying up to "Socialist, pro-Iran, pro-BDS" activists for "extra camera time."

Twitchy and Townhall: Called it a "bad look" and evidence of Greene's "mouth of madness," noting her shift from MAGA darling to GOP pariah.

Others tied it to antisemitism, given Code Pink's vocal anti-Israel protests and Greene's recent AIPAC criticisms.

Some defended Greene, arguing her isolationist "America First" views genuinely align with Code Pink on ending foreign wars, but even those voices are drowned out by the uproar.

Why Now? Greene's Downward Spiral

This isn't isolated, Greene's 2025 has been turbulent:

She led a failed effort to remove Speaker Johnson, alienating colleagues.

Trump publicly rebuked her, accelerating her resignation (timed to vest her pension).

She's escalated attacks on Israel aid and pro-Israel lobbies like AIPAC, calling for them to register as foreign agents, echoing Code Pink's rhetoric.

As one X user put it: "Both extreme ends of the political map are evil with the same traits! Normies wake up!"

Whether this is a principled stand or a desperate bid for relevance, it's cemented Greene's image as a lone wolf in a party that's moved on without her. Expect more drama as her exit looms.
