This is from a New Yorker article published last October.
Quote:
Her father, Robert Taylor, is the founder of Taylor Commercial, a successful construction company, which he sold to his daughter and her husband in 2002. Since then, according to Greene, the company has “managed a quarter of a billion dollars in construction projects.” (Greene held several leadership roles at the company; she was listed as its C.F.O. from 2007 until 2011, when company filings cease to show her as an officer.) Greene gave roughly a million dollars to her campaign—and also got crucial support from the House Freedom Fund, which has ties to Jim Jordan, one of Trump’s most prominent allies in Congress, and to Mark Meadows, Trump’s chief of staff.
“There’s nothing she can do to lose my vote, unless she murdered a baby or something,” a local Republican official said. “Nothing.”...The conservative commentator Erick Erickson, who lives in central Georgia but ran a campaign in the state’s northwest in the early two-thousands—and who is known for making his own inflammatory remarks—told me the same thing. “She’s bat-**** crazy,” he said, referring to Greene. “But she’s going to Congress.” New Yorker link

A wealthy white woman who inherited a business from her family wants to represent...what? She's got the hypocrite thing down cold, anyway. The New Yorker writer interviewed Jim Chambers, former owner of CrossFit gym where Greene began working as a part time coach in 2011. That's the same year the construction company stopped listing her as an official and the same year Greene became 'born again.'
Quote:
When former gym owner, Jim Chambers, first met Greene [in 2011], he told me, “She had a lot of time and a lot of money,” he said, and also a vague ambition, as he saw it, “to run a gym.” When, eight years later, it looked like she might be headed to Congress, Chambers got on social media and told the world that, back when he knew Greene, she was having “multiple, blatant extramarital affairs in front of all of us.” He added, “I don’t even judge that, until you say the kind of **** she does and claim the Jesus about it.” (Greene, who was baptized at an evangelical church in a suburb just north of Atlanta, in 2011, and speaks frequently about being Christian, has said that she wants to bring “my faith and my family values to Washington.”)

When the New Yorker writer Charles Bethea contacted Greene to ask about the extramarital affairs allegation she texted back, "Let me be clear with you. Writing defamatory articles about me is a very bad choice." She then suggested he contact her attorney.
