The far-right congresswoman has increasingly broken ranks with the MAGA movement, leading even Donald Trump to wonder ‘What’s going on with Marjorie?’
Marjorie Taylor Greene has hit out at her fellow Republicans for “doing nothing” about rising food and healthcare costs in her latest breach with the Trump administration.
In an interview with the conservative broadcaster Real America’s Voice on Tuesday, the Georgia congresswoman warned that letting Joe Biden’s Affordable Care Act subsidies expire at the end of the year would “crush” Americans’ finances.
Those subsidies are now at the heart of a government shutdown that’s lasted 15 days and counting. Senate Democrats are demanding the subsidies be extended as a condition of reopening the government while Republicans are refusing to budge.
MTG finally realizing that the “do nothings” aren’t the democrats, but her own party… I did not have that on my bingo card.
They aren’t “doing nothing”. They’re collecting the profits.
Isn’t it obvious? She’s positioning herself for a presidential run in 2028 by pointing out issues she has with the current administration, and where she would make improvements.
She’s going to run for president in 2028. Which also means not all MAGAs aren’t on board with a permanent Trump presidency. They’re all jackals, they want a bite at the prey, too.
A broken clock is right twice a day, and it looks like it’s 11:32 on the dot.
Ew Jesus Christ can we get some kind of blur on pictures of this absolute meathead? It’s like getting flashbanged when this leering simian head pops into my feed 😂
Anyway, whatever this dipshit is saying, she’s a racist, the loudest moron in the room, and a Christian nationalist. Fuck that. She’s still the enemy.
The enemy of my enemy is not my friend, but I will always high five someone when they’re doing the right thing. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Trust however… trust is earned.
New Title: Local Republican in denial about what being a Republican means shocked to discover truth about Republicans
forgot to finish it with “decided to continue being republican”
She may switch to that group of Republicans in denial about being Republicans that are known as Libertarians.
I never ever thought I’d agree with anything MTG had to say, but here we are.
Yeah. Its like I admire that she is consistent.
But see, now, it’s ruining the wrong people’s lives.
I don’t trust her; she’s still a terrible Christian nationalist. I do agree on some of her more reasonable takes lately, but she still has an angle to stay in power.
Like keep saying things to challenge the bastards, but I’ll never support her.
She’s got someone in her ear. No way she’s coming up with this on her own volition.
She’s always been known to listen to her rural Georgia constituents, and her demands have been dumb because her dumb hick constituents are dumb.
They must really be feeling the inflation and tariffs, and letting her know. She used to perform for an audience of one, now she seems to actually be doing her job.
This actually fits with her. Like she is crazy but she also cares about people, so long as they aren’t Jewish or brown.
MTG’s approach to politics is to say the most outrageous shit to gain attention and clout. She has no principles at all, other than “Any publicity is good publicity”.
Right now, she’s being crowded out by all the other Republicans like Nancy Mace, Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem etc. being just as crazy as she is. She can’t go any crazier without losing support, so she has to pivot in the opposite direction in order to stand out and get the media’s attention like she used to.
It’s working, by the way. Until she started saying this stuff, did you see anything from MTG? I didn’t.
The more I hear from this woman, the more I feel like there might actually be a decent heart deep down inside who wants to better her country, but is being hindered by an incredibly stupid brain that is calling the shots.
No. Shes nothing more than a bilge rat that senses the ship sinking and is dutifully scurrying to higher decks to save her own ass.
Don’t trust this bimbo.
You do kind of have to admire her seeming to stick to her principles. It’s just a shame that those principles are usually deranged.
I hope that’s true. The cynic in me thinks she’s playing the long game and plans to make a presidental run, which means breaking away from MAGA to be more palatable to reublican, neoliberal, and independent voters. The cynic in me also thinks that she’s pissed she didn’t get a cabinet spot, so she’s breaking with the party to throw a metaphoric tantrum. All speculation; I really hope she’s come to her senses.
I was thinking the same thing. The MAGA base is financially liberal and socially conservative, she’s pitching herself to those people for a promotion
She is a grifter. She will gather the clout with correct statements to prevent Republicans from moving to an actual alternative.
Idk. She hasn’t done anything nearly as grifter-y as a typical Republican, especially the QAnon type. She was into QAnon back when it was an obscure movement and hasn’t really grifted people with it through the usual currency exchange scams, crypto tokens, etc. I think she’s a true believer in her principles, it’s just that she’s an incredibly stupid and incompetent person and those principles are stupid as well. I don’t know if someone who is incredibly stupid and easily swayed who actually has principles is better or worse than someone who is actually competent but has no principles and is only driven by greed and personal gain.
Somehow she always finds a way to blame antifa and not daddy Trump in the end.
Again, that is completely aligned with her principles displayed so far. She thinks he’s a messianic figure who fights the depe state from the shadows. I’m not saying it’s right or smart, but it’s consistent.
That’s the good in you, believing there could be good in even her.
I think a lot of people who do evil things don’t see themselves as evil.
I think the Bushes were evil people who did evil things and I’ll never forgive them.for all the damage they caused. But I also don’t think they were unpatriotic. They believed in what they did and thought they were making society better.
I think MTG is the really stupid, slightly more evil version of that. She really wants to make things better, but not for everyone. But when she clearly sees that the people she does care about (uaully right-wing racist trash) are being hurt, she wants to make things better for them.
The real reverse fetterman
Weirdest ally ever.
But people should make no mistake this woman is no friend to liberals or liberal ideas she is a populist. She goes with what she thinks is popular. Not unlike Trump.
She is also an entrenched homophobic antisemitic racist. So, there’s that.
