Marjorie Taylor Greene threatens dramatic breakup with Trump over a core base frustration that could upend entire Republican Party
Saily Mail ^ | August 4, 2025 | Jon Michael Raasch

Posted on 08/04/2025 8:24:59 AM PDT by Miami Rebel

Six months into Donald Trump's return to the White House Marjorie Taylor Greene has about had it with the Republican Party.

The conservative firebrand who surged onto the political scene in 2021 and has been an ever-present figure in the House GOP and MAGA orbit ever since told the Daily Mail in a 45-minute call this week that it may be time for her to walk away.

'I don't know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I'm kind of not relating to Republican Party as much anymore,' she revealed. 'I don't know which one it is.'

Her fidelity to the president is still strong, she insists, but she sees flashing red lights warning that the GOP is out of step with the MAGA base.

It's the audience she feels most in-tune with, considering her seven million social media followers.

'I think the Republican Party has turned its back on America First and the workers and just regular Americans,' she said.

MTG senses that the GOP is reverting to its 'neocon' past, and its leaders, the 'good ole boys,' are a formidable opponent for the true MAGA agenda.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Seeing how it's from the Daily Mail, the headline is overblown, but there are some definite incipient ruptures, not least of all from the handling of the Epstein issue.

The 51-year-old lawmaker wants to stop foreign aid, continue to use DOGE to shave down government expenditures and waste, stop adding to the national debt and be on the look out for inflation.

'Like what happened all those issues? You know that I don't know what the hell happened with the Republican Party. I really don't.'

'But I'll tell you one thing, the course that it's on, I don't want to have anything to do with it, and I, I just don't care anymore,' she said sounding frustrated.

She has told the Daily Mail she senses the Georgia GOP is not adequately reading the voters in the state. MTG said she's happy to not be on the ticket for the upcoming Senate race.

'Georgia is very much controlled,' she explained. 'I call it the good ole boys network. It's the donors of the state, they're good hearted people, but they are very low risk takers, so they end up always being talked into ... really very weak moderate candidates.'

'It's a very lukewarm, not exciting Republican ballot, you're just not going to get the turnout there that's needed, especially when we came off the last election and only won the state by 115,000 votes.'

Without Trump on the ballot in the upcoming 2026 Senate race, the GOP could struggle to overcome Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff, she said.

Most polling of the race shows the Democrat with a double-digit lead, even in a potential match up against Greene.

She's used this large platform to publicly split with her party and call Israel's actions in Gaza a 'genocide.' MTG has also used it to condemn U.S. involvement in conflicts abroad and question where the Jeffrey Epstein files are and why they aren't public yet.

Republican women, she says, have a finger on the pulse of the party that the 'good ole boys' in the party don't.

'I think there's other women in our party that are really sick and tired of the way men treat Republican women,' she said.

'I think there's other women - Republican women - and I'm just giving my opinion here, who are really sick and tired of them,' she continued. 'And the one that really got shafted was Elise Stefanik.'

Stefanik was originally nominated by Trump to serve as ambassador to the United Nations but her bid was later rescinded by the White House. It's thought that her nomination was pulled due to the narrow majority in the House of Representatives.

'I mean, she got screwed by Mike Johnson, and she got screwed by the White House. I'm not blaming Trump, particularly. I'm blaming the people in the White House.'

Mike Waltz, a former congressman from Florida who briefly served as national security advisor before losing his job after including a journalist in a Signal group chat, was later reassigned to fill the UN ambassador post.

'How does he get awarded after 'Signalgate?'' Greene wondered. 'Isn't that weird ... who awarded him that?'

Greene has recently put forward a slew of legislation that focuses on areas not typically touched by the GOP.

In recent months she's introduced bills to prevent cloud-seeding and releasing chemicals in the sky, make English the official language of the U.S. and to cut capital gains taxes on homes - a move she hopes will help make houses more affordable.

Greene told the Daily Mail that she doesn't find herself with close GOP allies, particularly woman, that are championing causes she's most interested in.

'I'm going alone right now on the issues that I'm speaking about,' she admitted.

Greene has not faced a serious political threat since getting elected to Congress. She regularly clears her primary contests by double digits and runs away with the general election.

The last election she dominated winning with 64 percent of the total vote.

Still, her statewide polling is shaky. Greene would get trounced in a theoretical head to head matchup against incumbent Democrat Sen. Ossoff, polling shows.

An Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll from earlier this year showed Greene losing to Ossoff by 17 points, hardly good news. Greene reaffirmed to the Daily Mail she's staying out of the Senate race.

'I had to beat eight men and had to really whoop one in the primary, and I did, and the primary is everything in my district, and I did that by myself. I didn't do that with anybody's help, not President Trump, Mike Johnson,' she told the Daily Mail.

The ‘Saily Mail” is neck deep in wishful thinking

She does not represent the base, only herself. The base is with Trump.

She has gotten caught in the new "woke right" Jew-hatred of Tucker Carlon, Nick Fuentes, "Myron Gaines" (real name Amrou Fudl) and Candace Owens. It is a very dark place indeed.

It is not surprising that she is abandoning all her principles in that place, including whining about the "sexism" of GOP politics and claiming that Elise Stefanik was "screwed over" for the U.N. Ambassador role by Trump and Johnson, when it was because it is a meaningless post and they had to pass the OBBB and needed her House vote. MTG is really off the deep end with this silly feminism.

She’s not on my top ten list. She doesn’t seem to understand that the senate also votes.

She way over plays the "loose cannon" role for her own aggrandizement.

I’m sure a lot of politicians introduce bills that don’t go anywhere

True, she’s about herself, but the GOP cannot afford any kind of split in the party right now. A fracture of any kind only benefits the Democrats. I agree with her that the GOP has dropped the ball in cutting spending, reducing the deficit, building the wall, and reducing the size of gov’t. Unless the GOP can show progress on those fronts, tiny erosion cracks are going to grow into fissures that the GOP can’t fix or afford.
