Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) became an instant meme after an MSNBC host labeled her Tonya Harding in a fur coat after her actions during President Joe Bidens State of the Union address Tuesday. Greene made headlines by interrupting Bidens address numerous times, screaming the word liar and shouting rebuttals to Bidens speech. However, Greenes choice of attire also had people talkingshe arrived clad in a large, furry white coatamong them MSNBC analyst Matthew Dowd. During a discussion with Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House, Dowd, the chief strategist for the Bush-Cheney 2004 presidential campaign, described Greene as Tonya Harding in a fur coat as an image of her appeared on the screen. Oh, there she is, Dowd said. Im surprised she didnt have somebody go after somebody with ice skates. The comment was met with laughter from Wallace and the other analysts on the paneland soon became a hit on social media as the top trend on Twitter. On Fox News the same night, Greene appeared on Hannity and claimed the coat was made of wool, not fur, and criticized those who criticized her.

Don't insult Tonya Harding. She overcame a poor childhood through talent and hard work.
