Overview
- On Dec. 10, Code Pink cofounder Medea Benjamin visited Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Capitol Hill office and posted photos praising her as a “strong anti war voice.”
- Greene defended the encounter on X, saying she is “America First” and opposed to funding foreign wars, and described a personal friendship with Benjamin.
- Her recent departures from GOP orthodoxy include calling the Gaza war a genocide and voting against the annual defense policy bill that authorized security assistance to Israel.
- Conservative commentators denounced the meeting, and coverage revisited reporting that Code Pink has received funding linked to Neville Roy Singham, allegations the group’s critics tie to Chinese influence networks.
- Greene, who announced last month that she will resign in January 2026, has been in a public rift with President Trump after he rescinded his endorsement.
