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. ***

Israel will do the bombing.
typical female ... knows everything ... blah, blah, blah ...
not mud ... warm oil ...
Exactly. For a woman, especially, to accuse Marjorie of being on her period is a pathetic and insulting comment. I don’t think I’ve ever been pissed like this over a post on FR. Makes my skin crawl
Maybe she did tell him directly and didn’t hear what she wanted to hear. Who knows?
I do think some supporters are not happy with our deepening involvement/presence in the Ukraine mess and have some concerns about other areas where the administration seems a little “sluggish”.
On a positive note, I’m hearing the US has completely pulled out of Syria turning the oil fields in the east over to...the ISIS affiliated Jolani government.
Big win, right there.
I’m getting the impression that MTG is addressing her esteemed colleagues more than she is speaking out to POTUS in this open letter.
She’s an idiot on Iran.
Noone wants a Nuclear Bomb in the hands of a Terrorist, no one!
To those attributing her very valid criticism to menopause, screw you. Remarks like that are rude and uncalled for.
I am a woman also and I think in this instance MTG is reflecting the opinions she is hearing from constituents.
She at least isn’t a gutless fool that gives a rubber stamp of approval when it isn’t deserved. She takes criticism as well as she does delivering it.
Sometimes leaders need to hear criticism from their own voters.
The hive mind is alive on our side too.
💯👍
Yep that is really bad.
Actually, other than the usual social media outbursts, and the questionable legal novel approaches, he has done better than I expected. I wish he would keep his promises on prosecutions and openness about government abuse.
Every point she made is valid.
Probably both.
‘And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran.’
NOT
I couldn't agree with you more. She and Boebert both need to go away. They're an embarrassment to those of us looking for adults in Congress.
I know others will flame away, but is it too much to ask for more professionalism from Pubbies in Congress?
That's a fair question. Has she brought it up before?
Iraq did use WMD — the gassing of Kurds. That = WMD. Pay attention to history, dammit.
As to Iran, if we have to use Israel as a proxy to take out actual bomb production in Iran,go for it. Obama put us in this situation with his support of jihadis. Now, we have to deal with this.
Will this lead to a war? Grow up. Their using Houtis to attack US ships in the REdSea = war. Not at all the same as US support of Israel. Israel is a democracy in the MidEast. We are supporting a sovereign country. Houtis are a terrorist group that has succeeded in occupying the western portion of Yemen — against the wishes of the legit gov’mt in the eastern half.
Yes. We prefer "professional" guys like Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, right?
