Firebrand Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene has issued a surprising statement critical of President Donald Trump.
The Georgia congresswoman is known for her loyal support of the two-time president and her devout defense of his MAGA policy platform.
Displaying her faithfulness, Greene likened Trump to Jesus Christ during the president's high-profile legal battles last year.

On Friday, she issued a scathing statement putting distance in between her and the commander-in-chief.
'I represent the base and when I'm frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy,' Greene, wrote on X alongside a long list of complaints.
I campaigned for no more foreign wars,' Greene wrote. 'And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran.'
Her comment comes as the Trump administration has sought to address Iran's nuclear program. “Didn't we learn our lesson when we went to war in Iraq and killed Saddam Hussein because of 'weapons of mass destruction?' Did we ever find any?'” Greene said.

'Why on earth would we go over and occupy Ukraine and spend an untold amount of future American taxpayer dollars defending and mining their minerals as well as potentially putting American lives at risk and future war?' Greene asked. 'Why don’t we just mine our own rare earth minerals that are tied up on federal lands that the government confiscated years ago?' she continued.
The Trump ally also expressed her displeasure that the COVID-19 vaccines still have FDA approval though the treatment 'does not stop people from catching COVID.'
Greene also shared that she does not think the White House is doing enough to combat 'the evil transgender assault against our children.'
'This should be an all out effort by Republicans to end this insanity,' she posted. ***

I don’t think President Trump is serious in his threats against Iran. Its just a negotiating ploy. MTG is sending a warning that the base will not support a war against Iran no matter how much the Neocons want it.
I hope his threats against Iran are just bluster. If Israel wants to go at it with Iran, it should be without us.
Something going on hormonally? She’s right at that age. And I pose that question as a fellow woman.
Giving carte blanche to Iran won’t bring peace, neither.
We won’t be at war with Iran. We’ll support Israel’s defeat of Iran.
MTG needs to schedule a mud-wrestling live stream with AOC. Proceeds to charity.
Iran can only get fixed from within.
The U-235 for an atomic bomb can easily be hidden in a country that probably is comparable in size to Texas.
I like Margie but when is she NOT bitching about something?
And I thought this would be about tariffs and a potential recession.
You’re fooling yourself if you think that is possible.
Must be that time of the month fer Margie. 😉😂
MTG should just tell Trump personally and not announce it to the world.
How is that a “blistering rant”?
More like “headline hyperbole”.
Well said, in a nutshell.
Complete overreaction on her part.
>> MTG should just tell Trump personally and not announce it to the world.
^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the way.
