People Are Calling Out Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Boyfriend For Getting Botox Despite Seemingly Being Anti-Vax

In this week’s very important news, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s boyfriend, Brian Glenn, got Botox on his conservative cable TV show, Sunday in America. The clip circulated on social media and quickly sparked backlash.

“For people who’ve done this before are probably going, ‘Dude, it’s not that bad,'” he said in the clip while a nurse requested him to “make a mean face” before inserting a needle into his face.

“Like, I know women at home are going, ‘I don’t know why he’s acting like a big ol’ baby,’ but it truly is a weird feeling sometimes.”

Well, it’s not the squirmy Botox face that caught people’s attention, but the irony. The “women at home” Glenn spoke of instead called out the hypocrisy of injecting botulinum toxin into his body while previously declaring that the COVID-19 vaccine “doesn’t work.”

In a now-viral tweet, one person wrote, “Would you look at that! An anti-vaxxer getting an injection of actual neurotoxins. You cannot make this shit up.”

“Against vaccines but totally cool with Botox? Make it make sense!” someone else said.

“Won’t get a vaccine – but will inject his face with literal toxins… lmao,” another wrote.

For context, Botox injections work by delivering botulinum toxin that potently inhibits neurotransmitter release, thus preventing the targeted muscle from moving for a period of time. They’re considered safe and commonly used to target wrinkles, but they can also be used to treat neck spasms, sweating, overactive bladder, lazy eye, and migraines.

Some observers pointed out another layer of irony — Glenn’s Botox injections are, in fact, an example of gender-affirming care.

While conservatives scapegoat trans people and Trump signed executive orders threatening federal funding for providers of gender-affirming medical care for those under 19, many argue that a wide range of treatments — from laser hair removal, breast reduction surgery, erectile dysfunction medication, and yes, Botox — can all be considered forms of gender-affirming care, as they help people feel more comfortable in their bodies and gender.

“People will complain about trans men changing their bodies or ‘butchering them’ and then will get cosmetic surgeries for the fun of it,” someone wrote, calling out the double standard.

Just like her Botox beau, MTG has also quite famously opposed the COVID-19 vaccine. In 2021, her X account was suspended for violating the app’s COVID-19 misinformation policy after erroneously tweeting, “vaccines are failing & do not reduce the spread of the virus & neither do masks.”

However, data shows that the COVID-19 vaccine reduces the spread of the virus, lowers the viral load in infected individuals, and decreases the severity and transmission of the illness. It does not alter DNA, contain microchips, nor can it make you magnetic.

And contrary to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claiming that the vaccine poses a “profound risk” for children, scientific evidence consistently shows that serious adverse reactions are rare — myocarditis is extremely uncommon, and there’s no evidence of an increased risk of strokes or neurological problems in vaccinated children. The benefits of vaccination far outweigh the known risks of COVID-19 itself, according to the CDC.

So, while Brian Glenn may trust science enough to freeze his forehead, many are curious why that trust doesn’t extend to lifesaving vaccines.

Enjoy your Botox, Brian.
