WATCH: Marjorie Taylor Greene tells Tucker Carlson she refuses to be thought of as a ‘disadvantaged’ woman
“For Democrats to treat women and put us down in a category where we have to be a victim in order to succeed, I find that extremely insulting and I see it as a continuation of the Democrats war on women,” Taylor Green said.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) joined Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Thursday and said she refuses to be thought of as a "disadvantaged" woman, after slamming the new democratic infrastructure bill that states "women shall be presumed to be socially and economically disadvantaged."
"As a member of Congress who's been successful in business, I'm not only surprised, I'm very angered to be considered in a category that is socially and economically disadvantaged because, as a matter of fact, I don't consider myself that way at all," Greene said firing back at the bill that passed in the Senate earlier this week.
"I'm very angry about it [the bill] because I can tell you this. I'm probably one of the only members of Congress that owns a woman-owned construction company," Greene continued.
"I've been successful in 11 states. We've done a lot of money in revenue…a lot more than the federal government, and we know how to turn a profit, not a loss."
"I consider myself one of the luckiest women on the planet because I'm an American woman. And I live in a country where through hard work, I can be successful. And that's exactly what we've done in our family construction business, that is a woman-owned business," Greene explained.
"For Democrats to treat women and put us down in a category where we have to be a victim in order to succeed, I find that extremely insulting and I see it as a continuation of the Democrats war on women," Green added.
"This is how Democrats achieve their agenda. They have to divide everyone up in some sort of political identity. Whether you're a woman, you're LGBTQ, transgender, black, Hispanic, Asian, they have to divide everyone up," Greene added.
"They have to make, you know, give you the message that you're a victim and you can't be successful unless you're using their policy or their government program that they're going to provide to you at a cost to the American taxpayers. And that's how you will be successful."
Greene told Carlson, "You see, they don't believe in individual rights.They don't believe in our freedoms and they don't believe in Americans independent will and hard work to be successful. That's not who the Democrat party is."
