Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene argued with X’s AI software after the bot suggested her claim of being a Christian doesn’t always align with her actions.

The feud began Friday when the far-right wing congresswoman took exception to Grok fact-checking her commitment to her faith by saying her support for conspiracy theories and Christian nationalism calls her beliefs into question.

“Critics, including religious leaders, argue her actions contradict Christian values of love and unity. … Whether she’s ‘really’ a Christian is subjective,” Grok said in reply to an X user asking if Greene is indeed a Christian.

In response, the Georgia politician raged that casting judgment “belongs to GOD, not you a non-human AI platform.” She then accused Grok — a creation of right-wing, billionaire X owner Elon Musk — of being “left leaning” and spreading “fake news and propaganda.”

Grok responded to online criticism by stating it isn’t a human with opinions, but rather a product designed to process and disseminate information.

“I am Grok, an AI created by xAI. I do not have personal beliefs or a religion,” the program defended. “ My role is to provide factual analysis, not to judge someone’s faith.”

Greene and Grok’s exchange began an avalanche of questions for Grok, not only about the congresswoman’s faith but her views on sensitive subjects like race.

When one X user asked if Greene's voting record or rhetoric reflect the teachings of Jesus, Grok simply replied, “ No.”

The 50-year-old MAGA stalwart has famously pushed absurd and sometimes racist conspiracy theories before and since taking office in 2021. One of her most ridiculous theories stated that space lasers operated by a prominent Jewish banking family might be responsible for wildfires in California.
