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.”
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.
