Internet accuses MTG of hypocrisy for firing District Director Travis Loudermilk over affair claims
WASHINGTON, DC: Marjorie Taylor Greene found herself at the center of another controversy when she fired her District Director, Travis Loudermilk, after revelations of his extramarital affair surfaced, as reported by Daily Mail.
The dismissal came as Greene feared the scandal would "make her look bad," and that Loudermilk had become a "political liability." However, the internet was quick to point out the hypocrisy, given Greene's own past involving multiple affairs and divorces.
Marjorie Taylor Greene fires District Director Travis Loudermilk as allegations of adultery emerge
The controversy surrounding Loudermilk erupted when court documents emerged detailing a divorce suit filed by his wife, Sarah, accusing him of adultery. The documents, filed last month, alleges that Loudermilk engaged in a relationship with Katy Allan, a married Instagram influencer.
Loudermilk and Allan were photographed together on Easter Sunday, spending over an hour at Dellinger Park in Cartersville. Their intimate gestures, captured in exclusive images, raised eyebrows and fueled speculation about the nature of their relationship.
The scandal deepened when information surfaced regarding the timeline of Loudermilk's and Allan's respective marital separations. Both Allan and her husband, John, and Loudermilk and his wife, Sara, separated in May of 2023.
The unfolding saga involving Loudermilk and Allan has drawn comparisons to Greene's own controversial personal history, marked by accusations of infidelity and marital discord.
In November 2022, Daily Mail reported on Greene's romantic involvement with right-wing reporter Brian Glenn, which coincided with the dissolution of her 27-year marriage to Perry. The swift sequence of events, resulting in divorce filings from both parties, drew attention to Greene's personal life.
This wasn't the first time Greene faced scrutiny over allegations of infidelity. In 2012, she admitted to cheating on her husband with Craig Ivey, a self-proclaimed tantric guru, before eventually patching things up with Perry.
