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.
You are correct. But she can be a useful idiot.
Always an idiot, rarely useful.
In this case she can be.
WHAT IN THE FUCK IS EVEN HAPPENING ANYMORE???
She might be bonkers but she’s shrewd and seen the way the winds blowing. She’s going to do a Liz Truss and position herself as the ‘sensible’ option for change in the MAGA movement, when Trump either pops his clogs or the Epstein Files drop.
Trump squashed her dream of being a senator so the gloves are coming off.
Going in raw
I mean…IT HAS BEEN SAID that is her thing, so…
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.
This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.
So republican logic?
Conscience.
Yes
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
I didn’t have an axe but I do have this guillotine…
At this point I figure Sam Beckett leaping in to MTG is most reasonable answer.
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.
I’m going to be very upset if MTG ends up as the first US president who is a woman
Margret Thatcher Greene
I think she’s cleverer than most people give her credit for because she’s also batshit. The MAGA movement is going to eat itself as the reality of Trumps policies ramp up and polling tanks. She is distancing herself early so she looks like she was right all along when the bullshit excuses run out. She’s being cordial and making sure not to look opportunist but I guarantee you in 2027 she will start saying the ideas aren’t wrong, just the implementation. She will run on cutting aid to Israel, pulling out of Venezuela and retaining ICE but with some optics only ‘humanitarian’ guidelines.
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.
The first woman president will be a Republican, and she will be horrifying.
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.
I’m guessing MTG has seen the contents of Epstein’s safe
She wants a senate seat and was told no so now she’s doing this shit out of spite, not because she had any epiphany. She’s still just a selfish cunt
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.
She’s trying to position herself as successor to trump now people are going to be slapped by the reality of his presidency.
Look at her. She’s not his type.
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.
Marge, please, stop it. I may actually start to respect you and that’s making me feel like hurting myself.
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.
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)_/¯
