M.Taylor Greene to keynote Wilson County Trump Day fundraising dinner

"The Wilson County Republican Party has selected a keynote speaker for this year's annual Trump Day Dinner: U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a controversial member of Congress stripped this year of her House committee assignments.

Greene, a North Georgia Republican whose district borders the Chattanooga area, will speak at the county party's fundraising dinner Oct. 7, Wilson County GOP chairman Brad Lytle confirmed.

Some "Reagan Day" dinners in Tennessee, longstanding Republican fundraising events held by county parties, have in recent years changed their name to "Trump Day."

In Wilson County, that change occurred in 2020. The year before that, the county party took a hybrid approach, calling it the "Reagan/Trump Day Dinner."

Tickets for the dinner, which begins at 6:30 p.m., go for $75 each. A six-person table can be sponsored for $450, while $1,000 secures an event sponsorship and a one-hour private reception with Greene.

That $1,000 includes a mandatory $500 check made out to Greene's campaign account. The remaining portion of the donation goes to the county party."....(more)
