The MAGA representative is continuing her break with the Republican Party—and the president himself.
MAGA Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is still one of the few GOP members to rebuke Trump and his lies in any meaningful way.
Taylor Greene spoke freely in an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Thursday night. “The president says there’s virtually no inflation, and that grocery prices are going down,” Collins asked the Georgia representative. “Do you agree with him on that?”
“No, I go to the grocery store myself. Grocery prices remain high. Energy prices are high. My electricity bills are higher here in Washington, D.C., at my apartment, and they’re also higher at my house in Rome, Georgia, higher than they were a year ago,” MTG said. “Affordability is a problem, and I’m a mom. My kids are 22, 26, and 28. That’s the generation I worry about the most, and they’re having a very hard time.”
This ghoul is not on your side. Don’t fall for it. The enemy of your enemy can STILL be an enemy.
I’m guessing MTG has seen the contents of Epstein’s safe
Is she not in on the bribery grift?
Did she not get what was going on all along? Or did they cut her out?
Or they are about to invite her in.
Look at her. She’s not his type.
Marge, please, stop it. I may actually start to respect you and that’s making me feel like hurting myself.
I’m going to be very upset if MTG ends up as the first US president who is a woman
The first woman president will be a Republican, and she will be horrifying.
My first thought after this was in fact ‘Oh shit, MTG really is going to run for president isn’t she’.
Still fucks with my head when she says things that make sense. Are we sure she didn’t have a stroke or something?
Are we sure she didn’t have a stroke or something?
Like a reverse Fetterman?
Nature restoring balance and all that.
I don’t think that will happen. I’m getting the impression people don’t like her because a crazy mean idiot - more than what MAGA can stomach.
She’d bow and lick at Trumps feet and even he dodged her.
Her 15 minutes are over. This is her last gasp.
The maga is destroying itself
Wait until Trump dies. Then the real fun begins.
I honestly don’t think I can. I wake up every day hoping for a headline.
WHAT IN THE FUCK IS EVEN HAPPENING ANYMORE???
Trump squashed her dream of being a senator so the gloves are coming off.
Wasn’t that AOC’s theory?
Yes, another theory is they can swindle the votes to her and not JD if she pretends to develop a conscious. Then she will pardon Trump.
Conscience.
This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.
Which would be very on brand for her
So republican logic?
Yes
Going in raw
I mean…IT HAS BEEN SAID that is her thing, so…
At this point I figure Sam Beckett leaping in to MTG is most reasonable answer.
I heard on a podcast (Pod Save America) this morning that she’s apparently talked to confidants about running for President next election. She’s trying to wash her reputation by suddenly sounding a tad more reasonable.
It’s a trick, get an axe
Just bc she’s honest about problems we are facing doesn’t mean she has good answers.
I don’t even know what to do in a world where MTG is making sense.
Three-toed salute, or something.
It’s weird that this Queen of Lying and Denying Reality is somehow becoming a voice of truth…She must be worried about midterms. ROFL
He’s not just hurting the right people. If she and her family were unaffected. She would be giddily cheering him to war with Venezuela and blue cities. She is and will always be a shit person. She’s just not used to consequences.
She’s only telling the truth because it serves her personally.
Nah, that’s not it. None of Trump’s disastrous economic shenanigans impact her because she’s loaded.
She’s telling the truth because she know the Republican party is a lost cause at this point, and she’s getting in early on the ship-jumping action.
So… it serves her personally by not going down with the ship? I fail to see how this is different than what I said.
Hmm yes, somehow I read your post as serving her financially. But yeah you’re right, whatever she does is clearly self-serving. It’s just surprising to see that she’s intelligent enough to plan far more ahead than I would have thought her capable of.
She’s saying it for revenge because Trump didn’t give her what she felt entitled too.
Yep, her dad built a successful construction company and then she and her then-husband took it over as majority owners. Her husband ran the company while she collected paychecks but never showed up, then she left to go teach CrossFit. She’s basically a trust fund kid.
Never fucking forget, never fucking forgive, and burn all the fucking life boats!

I’m guessing as a career opportunist, she has built her strategy about being “an outsider looking to improve things” as a populist or someone that is critical without actually providing any solutions. When the GOP are not in power, this strategy works. However, now that the GOP control all 3 branches of government, the only way to use the “outsider” strategy is to attack the GOP itself. I don’t think for a second that, were she to gain a leadership position, she would provide rational and realistic solutions.
So we can enjoy watching them fight themselves, but I don’t think it will lead to any meaningful change or improvement in the life of Americans.
according to AOC, it is because MTG wanted to run for Senate next year and Trump told her no
… and there’s talk she’s planning to run for President. Hah.
When she sees the orange baboon getting elected TWICE despite all that he’s said and done, she’s totally right to think she might have a shot. Americans are clearly stupid enough to vote for her in not-insignificant numbers.
When it comes to their young…
she’s safe in her seat. ga14 is rated r+19 (cook pvi), the most republican-leaning district in that state.
I have to say, this crazy broad is cleverer than I thought: she’s clearly positioning herself to have a future after Trump and his henchmen are gone.
So that she can replace his swamp with her swamp. Because that’s how the GOP operates. They will drain the swamp all right, but will replace it with the new swamp.
How long till ICE shows up at her door, warrantless, masked, and carries her kicking and screaming aways? Any guesses?
About as long as they take to deal with Melania which is never.
That would be demented enough for him to do that there’s a non-zero chance. But then you could say that about anything. Because of the dementia.
I stopped watching wrestling after I felt like the storylines became too obvious. Why am I now interested in this clown show with horrible heel turns?
She is just running circles around media establishments. Speaker Greene is going to be wild. Or at least that’s what she’s after. Every House GOPer is going to need a pivot and she will be that for them.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
