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.”
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.
