The far-right congresswoman has increasingly broken ranks with the MAGA movement, leading even Donald Trump to wonder ‘What’s going on with Marjorie?’

Marjorie Taylor Greene has hit out at her fellow Republicans for “doing nothing” about rising food and healthcare costs in her latest breach with the Trump administration.

In an interview with the conservative broadcaster Real America’s Voice on Tuesday, the Georgia congresswoman warned that letting Joe Biden’s Affordable Care Act subsidies expire at the end of the year would “crush” Americans’ finances.

Those subsidies are now at the heart of a government shutdown that’s lasted 15 days and counting. Senate Democrats are demanding the subsidies be extended as a condition of reopening the government while Republicans are refusing to budge.

    I mean… she voted for the healthcare subsidies to expire by voting for the Big Bullshit Bill.

    I feel like she’s just playing the usual games here. She could have not voted for the BBB. The Democrats are simply trying to roll back changes that were made in the BBB.

    So, was she just an idiot who didn’t read the bill (possible) or just playing the rotating villain (more probable imho).

      She’s a nat fly. She just goes from one thing to an other. The BBB is in the past, she’s seen something else shiny.

      I think I kind of believe her when she said she cares now because her adult children’s premiums will be doubling.

      And I have an even easier time believing that she didn’t know that was going to happen until after she voted for the bill.
