MTG sours on Republican Party, claims GOP ‘turned its back on America First’

Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has become publicly disillusioned with the Republican Party, which she accused of abandoning President Trump’s America First mantra and reverting to its old “neocon” ways.

Greene (R-Ga.) lauded President Trump’s performance in office, but warned about growing daylight between lawmakers and the base during an interview with the Daily Mail.

“I don’t know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I’m kind of not relating to [the] Republican Party as much anymore,” she said. “I don’t know which one it is.”

“I think the Republican Party has turned its back on America First and the workers and just regular Americans.”

Over recent months, Greene has been publicly at odds with Trump on foreign policy, including the bombing of Iran, the president’s pivot toward Ukraine in its defense against Russian invaders, and Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip, which she recently labeled a “genocide.”

In public, Greene has been adamant that she “has always been President Trump’s most outspoken ally,” and there is no “break” between her and him.

However, she also claimed a “good old boys” club within the congressional Republican party is undercutting the president’s agenda.

“I’m not afraid of [House Speaker] Mike Johnson at all,” declared Greene, who charged ahead last year with a failed bid to dethrone the Louisianian after he took up legislation to send about $61 billion in aid to war-torn Ukraine.

The Georgian also claimed that party leaders have done a poor job elevating women, telling the Mail “the one that really got shafted was Elise Stefanik.”

Trump initially nominated the upstate rep to serve as his ambassador to the United Nations, but that was rescinded this past March amid fears for the razor-thin House Republican majority.

“She got screwed by Mike Johnson, and she got screwed by the White House. I’m not blaming Trump, particularly. I’m blaming the people in the White House,” added Greene, who went on to question why new UN envoy nominee Mike Waltz got “awarded after Signalgate”.

Reps for Johnson and Stefanik, who is expected to run for governor of New York next year, did not respond to a request for comment.

Greene, 51, further dinged her party for failing to deliver on promises such as the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) cost cutting initiative and slashing the deficit.

“Like, what happened to all those issues? … I don’t know what the hell happened with the Republican Party. I really don’t,” she told the outlet.

“But I’ll tell you one thing, the course that it’s on, I don’t want to have anything to do with it, and I, I just don’t care anymore.”
