"She is a blonde, who wears white coats with a fur collar." I guess that's enough for Russians today to prove that she's "demonstratively heterosexual." I remain unconvinced.

A top Kremlin propagandist gushed over Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene on state TV, calling her a "beauty."

Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the Russian state-controlled media organization RT, made the remarks while speaking on TV channel Russia-1 alongside host Vladimir Solovyov, one of the most prominent figures in Kremlin-backed media.

The Daily Beast's Julia Davis shared an excerpt of the broadcast on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday. Newsweek reached out to Russia's Foreign Ministry for comment via email.

Simonyan, a longtime ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, spoke about Greene after she was initially mentioned by host Solovyov.

"Marjorie Taylor Greene you've just shown is a beauty. She is one of a few members of the U.S. Congress who is trying to look like a person in an old-fashioned sense of the word," said Simonyan.

"She is a blonde, who wears white coats with a fur collar. She is demonstratively heterosexual."

Simonyan then blamed the Deep State for tearing Marjorie Taylor Greene down because her views are "normal."

Simonyan asked the audience what they think Wikipedia says about Greene.

"Who is Majorie Taylor Greene? She is a conspiracy theorist. She has extreme right views. As soon as a person says something that shows they are normal, America's enormous media behemoth declares them a conspiracy theorist and a person of extreme right views," she said.

If Russians think you are normal there's something seriously wrong with you.
