U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) once again trashed Republicans as part of her ongoing tour on left-wing media circuits, this time attacking Republicans and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) over costs associated with the Obama-era Affordable Care Act (ACA). The congresswoman later claimed that critics of her recent shift are sexist.
Extension of ACA credits — which are set to expire at the end of the year under the term’s of the Democrat-passed Inflation Reduction Act in 2021 — have become a central point of the Democratic Party’s narrative on the ongoing government shutdown. Senate Democrats have voted against a House-passed temporary funding measure known as a continuing resolution (CR) more than a dozen times, resulting in what projects to be the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
Republicans, as well an increasing number of business and labor leaders, have called on Democrats to pass the clean CR in order to end the shutdown in order negotiate on ACA credits for the fiscal year 2026 budget reconciliation.
During an appearance on “Real Time With Bill Maher,” Rep. Greene endorsed much of the Democratic Party’s talking points on the shutdown dispute. “I mean, I would love to know what the Republicans really want to do about health care, which is the premiums are going to go up tomorrow,” Maher said, to which Greene agreed.
“Me too. I’m waiting for the plan. I haven’t seen it yet. That’s been a lot of my angst. So a lot of the things I say are against my own party, but they’re mainly my frustrations in Congress. I believe that Congress should be solving a lot of these problems. However, Congress is not solving these problems. And I have Republican leadership,” she said.
“You know, looking at Obamacare, it was passed in 2010. It went into place in 2014, and premiums have skyrocketed ever since. It was good for some that couldn’t afford health insurance or couldn’t get health insurance. But for the middle class, small business owners, people that had to buy their own insurance, it has crushed them. And so I’ve been demanding to know.”
The congresswoman then stated that healthcare costs have skyrocketed due to the ACA before circling back to blaming the current crisis on Republicans. “Here’s why I’m angry. The Democrats passed Obamacare, but yet the Republicans have never done anything to correct the problems that exist with it. And I blame my own party. That’s absolutely wrong. And I don’t think it’s an easy thing to fix. However, it’s something that we should have a plan for. And Mike Johnson, for a month now, cannot give me a single positive policy idea, and I’m angry about that,” she said.
The latest segment comes ahead of Greene’s planned appearance on “The View” this coming Tuesday and follows in line with a recent trend of attacking the Republican Party and accusing the Trump Administration of failing to put Americans first.
While speaking with comedian Tim Dillon, Greene suggested that the president’s tariff policy is aimed at enriching “crypto donors.”
“And I’m talking to major manufacturing companies that are-, they’re saying we support the president, we support what he’s trying-, his long-term goal. but we’re having problems with these tariffs. And now we’re have problems, we can’t get supplies from this country, and we can’t get supplies for this country. And there’s-, there’s problems,” the congresswoman said.
“But has the, has-, have regular people’s bank accounts been, been affected? Has the stress come off? No, that has not happened yet and that needs to be the major focus,” she added. “It shouldn’t be about helping your crypto donors, or your AI donors, or welcoming in these people that hated you and spent money to try to beat you, but all of a sudden are excited to come out to the to the new Rose Garden patio. That shouldn’t be the focus.”
In a social media post Thursday, Greene suggested that critics upset with her rhetoric are sexist and part of an organized campaign.
“There are pathetic Republican men (mostly paid social media influencers) attacking me for going on Bill Maher’s show and The View,” the congresswoman posted on X. She then stated that she has worked to be America First throughout her political career, linking to a Conservative Review scorecard that gives her a 100% “liberty score.”
“Sorry I’m not sorry I don’t obey Republican men’s demands that I, as a woman, don’t remain seen but not heard,” she added.

Is her 15 minutes up yet?..................
Another grifter who has figured out that you can make money pretending to be a conservative and then turning on conservatives.
Too many politicians would rather be podcasters than actual elected officials
She talks like a Democrat
<< Greene endorsed much of the Democratic Party’s talking points on the shutdown dispute. >>
And of tariffs. And on ICE raids. And on the Palestinians. For starters.
Did MTG and fetterman swap brains?
The next Liz Cheney.
I never thought I’d say this about her, but she needs to shut the hell up.
She made a great impression on me when she first came on the scene, but I guess the MTG we were originally shown wasn’t the “real” one.
I wouldn’t be too quick to defend Republicans against criticism from the right.
President Trump needs to hold his GOP coalition together, but we all know the Republican Party is full of cowards and grifters.
Can’t we chew gum and walk at the same time?
Can’t we remember our conservative ideals and also be strategic at the same time?
Let’s not accuse MAGA idealists who criticize Republican Party of being traitors - they are not wrong to criticize the GOP.
Let’s also not accuse the Trump administration of betray MAGA every time it stands with the GOP leadership - we need that coalition to function as a majority.
MTG, is in self-destructive mood, sounding more and more like wacky Nancy Pelosi everyday
Another “conservative” female gone off the rails...
For health care, bring on market force:
1. Break most hospitals into two highly competitive entities
2. Convert other hospitals into real estate leasing entities with competing surgical suites and nursing wings
3. Separate out drug coverage so hospital systems can run care coverage systems and cut out insurance company overhead and meddlers. Hospital system plans might charge an age-related fee if you lack a drug plan listed by the hospital system plan.
4. Create interstate drug plans that don’t have to cover every drug. To qualify for exchange listing and federal subsidies, they would have to most (~80% or more) in all important types (large volume recombinant, small volume recombinant, breakthroughs under patent, etc.). Group and exchange plans to offer vouchers at plan set amounts for out-of-formulary drugs. Plans without minimums (or vouchers) could be vended directly to individuals and families.
5. Have drug patents limited by government sourced product revenue and overall domestic government health care spending and not by time [so drug companies have an incentive to minimize government health care funding]
6. Require Kirchoff patent collapse to a single entity upon FDA marketing approval of a covered entity
Cap SNAP at $2/day/person and limit SNAP to healthy, modest cost food.
Get used to this people. This woman was never ever a conservative in her life. She was absolutely apolitical as a gym rat and failed business owner in Marietta. Don’t even ask me what people have told me in Georgia regarding what she actually did at the gym with men. After Trump was elected, she suddenly became super maga and said all the right mantras to get elected. But was all fake, and you can see that now as she is moving closer and closer to AOC on issues from Trump to feminism to the environment. We really need to be much more careful about who we invite into our movement and trust.
One possibility is to limit any increase due to enhanced subsidy lapse to 10% of the cost of the plan.
What was she thinking? She has clearly strayed off the MAGA path. Let’s hope she finds her way back.
“ Don’t even ask me what people have told me in Georgia regarding what she actually did at the gym with men”

Held impromptu bible studies?
Seriously, why engage in the DemocRAT tactic of innuendo against a conservative Republican?
What is wrong with saying that?
Republicans shouldn't eliminate subsidies that anyone or family is dependent on or make it harder to get Medicaid if they don't have a plan to bring market forces back into healthcare to make it more affordable.
We don't a free market for healthcare. Healthcare costs five to ten times what it would if we did.
Probably going through menapause. Some women just go bat sheet crazy during this time. Just the way it is and why it is very unwise to elect or appoint women to high office.
