Greene tweeted that the man suspected of leaking classified documents was targeted because he is “white, male, Christian, and antiwar”.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene launched an effort to rebrand 21-year-old Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira as a victim of President Biden’s administration hours after federal authorities arrested him for leaking classified intelligence documents.
Greene, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, tweeted that Teixeira was “white, male, Christian, and antiwar,” making him “an enemy to the Biden regime.”
“He told the truth about troops being on the ground in Ukraine, and a lot more,” Greene wrote. According to Fox News, the 14 special forces stationed in Ukraine are not combat troops, but rather members of the embassy’s staff.
“Ask yourself who your true adversary is. A low-level national guardsman? Or the administration that is fighting a war in Ukraine, a non-NATO country, against nuclear Russia without the means to do so?” Green elaborated.

Teixeira had posted the documents on a private Discord server called “Thug Shaker Central,” where a member later reposted them on other public forums.

Greene’s position on the security breach is a sharp departure from her previous stance on leaks. In 2022, the congresswoman referred to the leak of a draft Supreme Court decision that would overturn Roe v. Wade as “basically like an insurrection of the Supreme Court,” and she demanded an investigation into the source of the leak.
