Business Insider: “In April, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said that Black Lives Matter ‘is the strongest terrorist threat in our county.’ She also introduced legislation to award Congressional Gold Medals to law-enforcement officers ‘who protected American cities during the Black Lives Matter (BLM) riots’ of 2020. But on May 19, Greene invested up to $15,000 in stock from Walmart Inc. – a company that President and CEO Doug McMillon said would ‘help replace the structures of systemic racism’ and ‘build in their place frameworks of equity and justice that solidify our commitment to the belief that, without question, Black Lives Matter.'”
“Consumers may also buy numerous Black Lives Matter-themed products at Walmart.com – but no ‘All Lives Matter’ merchandise. Greene’s Walmart-stock purchase, disclosed on June 17 in a US House stock-transaction filing reviewed by Insider, is the latest example of the Georgia Republican’s political rhetoric and financial ambitions colliding. Last month, she also purchased stock worth up to $15,000 in NextEra Energy Inc., a major power-generation company that touts its efforts to combat the human causes of the climate crisis – including those of its own doing. ‘Our industry can best confront climate change by investing in clean power generation that produces zero or low emissions,’ NextEra wrote in a 2020 report on its environmental, social, and governance goals. ‘We believe that no company in any industry has done more to reduce carbon emissions and to confront climate change than NextEra Energy.’ Greene has expressed skepticism toward the climate crisis and has vocally opposed liberal environmental ideas such as the Green New Deal.”
