Once a loyal foot soldier for Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene is increasingly bucking her party
NBC News | Yahoo ^ | Oct 8, 2025 | Melanie Zanona

Posted on 10/09/2025 3:06:01 PM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

Over the past six months, Greene has made waves in Washington for publicly breaking with Trump and the GOP on a number of high-profile issues and lobbing some pointed attacks at her fellow Republicans in the process. She was critical of the Trump administration’s strikes on Iran, referred to the situation in Gaza as a “genocide,” signed her name to an effort to force a House vote to require the Justice Department to release its files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case and, most recently, sided with Democrats in calling for an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies amid the government shutdown fight.

Greene also has a strained relationship with House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., whom she feels zero loyalty to and tried unsuccessfully to remove from his post last year over his support for Ukraine aid.

In calling for an extension of the Affordable Care Act subsidies, Greene cited her own children as an example of how people are going to be hurt if Republicans let them lapse. Greene said she was “disgusted” by the prospect even though she doesn’t like the underlying law, and she criticized GOP leadership for not having a plan to address it.

“What I am upset over is my party has no solution,” she said. “It’s not something that we talk about frequently, but it is a reality for Americans, and it’s something that I don’t think we can ignore. I want, I really want to fix it.”

An attention whore says what? She would set her hair on fire to get attention.

She’s a female. Females are equivocal.

Take it from there...

What makes you think she’s not one now…?

I have no clue where you are getting the misinformation from, but I will allow you to show me your source. There is no evidence that she was a Democrat or a Republican, for that matter, in the 70s. Since she was born May 27, 1974, it’s highly unlikely that your statement bears an iota of truth to it.. She was age 5 when she entered the 80s.

His post said she would have been a democrat according to the way they acted in the 70’s. Not that she was one.

Occasionally she’s been on target, but she’s always been a bomb throwing attention whore. That’s a fact. You all know it.

NBC sounds just like when they were backing Crazy Liz and trying to split the GOP.
It’s NOT going to work this time either.

Slight typo in my initial post - though I thought in context the point was clear. Anyway, I meant to say “She would have been a Democrat in the 70’s”.

So she should propose a solution....She’s a member of Congress, right?

I agree with her on the Epstein files. As for Gaza, she has it backwards. The Gazans attempted genocide, and still dream of trying it again and succeeding.

She must be canoodling with Thomas Massie. The last squeeze she sided with was McCarthy. She seems to pick losers.

I'm a staunch Trump supporter, however, there are times when I disagree with what Trump does. Though I also admit that they are rare.

A true friend will tell you when you are not doing the right thing, to get you to change the course tou are on. Someone who doesn't care about you, will just let you make a fool of yourself.

She is not an attention whore as you say. She gets attention by being a rock solid conservative.

Did, for example, you agree with Trump's policy to limit the number of Chinese students attending American colleges to 600K? Did you agree with his initial H-1B Visa policy? Did you agree with the statements that he made regarding the contiued dive into the crimes of Jeffery Epstein? I disagreed with all but the last one, but only because I understood why he didn't want to go there. The Democrats had included something in there that provided more lies to ensnare Trump in the case. But I still think he did nothandle it in the best way. Am I right? I have no clue, I just have my opinions like everyone wlse.

Trump is a great man, and a great leader for this nation. But he is human, and he too makes misjudgements from time to time, as wel all do, including myself.

Many times, he appears to be wrong, but is proven that his tactic was the wat to attack the problem. But there are also times when his tactic chosen, was not exactly well thought out as well.

I only wish we had more who were fighters like her, for with more like her, we just might save this nation. If I could wave a magic wand, I would rid the Republican Party of the useless feckless RINOs, with more people just like her.

Only a truly disgusting POS is against the changes to the H-1B visa scam.
