The circular firing squad isn’t going to be pretty for Republicans, but the GOP has to figure out what it stands for and how. The Right is facing some significant challenges of late, and by the end of last week, several Leftmedia stories highlighted a supposed divide between President Donald Trump and his MAGA movement.
Speaking of MAGA, we aren’t the only ones asking questions about a particular Republican representative from North Georgia. “Is Marjorie Taylor Greene a closet Democrat?” wondered our Thomas Gallatin earlier this month. Greene has “lost her way,” Trump said last week. “She has gone Far Left,” he posted in a blistering Truth Social rant Friday night.
“I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement” of Greene, he began before totally unloading:
Over the past few weeks, despite my creating Record Achievements for our Country including, a Total and Complete Victory on the Shutdown, Closed Borders, Low Taxes, No Men in Women’s Sports or Transgender for Everyone, ending DEI, stopping Biden’s Record Setting Inflation, Biggest Regulation Cuts in History, stopping EIGHT WARS, rebuilding our Military, being RESPECTED by every Country in the World (as opposed to being the laughingstock that we were just 12 months ago!), having Trillions of Dollars (Record Setting!) INVESTED in the U.S.A., and having created the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World from being a DEAD Country just 12 months ago (and so much more!), all I see “Wacky” Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN! It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!). She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day. I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support. She has gone Far Left, even doing The View, with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Tell us how you really feel, Mr. President.
In a post on X, Greene responded, “President Trump just attacked me and lied about me.” She claimed that “what sent him over the edge” was her dogged push to release all of the Jeffrey Epstein files. “And of course he’s coming after me hard to make an example to scare all the other Republicans before next weeks vote to release the Epstein files. It’s astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level.”
Recently, Democrats have taken the lead on the Epstein files. Thanks to that and his spat with MTG, over the weekend, Trump suddenly declared his backing for a House resolution on the Epstein files. Now that Democrats are fully invested, he joins them. Hilarious!
Anyway, back to MTG, the GOP’s AOC. Her spat with Trump didn’t stop there, although Greene realized she was in a hole and tried to put down the shovel.
“I would like to say, humbly, I am sorry for taking part in the toxic politics,” she told CNN’s Dana Bash. “It’s very bad for our country.” She added, “I am committed … to put down the knives in politics. I really just want to see people be kind to one another.”
Boy, that’s off-brand.
As for President Trump, “I certainly hope that we can make up,” Greene said, though she claims his opposition “puts a target on my back and puts my life in danger.”
Trump is famous for fighting and making up, but he’s not ready for the latter just yet. On Saturday morning, he called Greene a “lightweight” who had “betrayed the entire Republican Party when she turned Left.” Late Sunday night, he posted this:
Wacky Marjorie “Traitor” Brown (Remember, Green turns to Brown where there is ROT involved!) is working overtime to try and portray herself as a victim when, in actuality, she is the cause of all of her own problems. The fact is, nobody cares about this Traitor to our Country!
As is often the case, Trump’s post is juvenile, but he’s not really wrong, either. Earlier this month, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was asked if he’d found any Republican allies amidst the Schumer Shutdown battle. “Three words — Marjorie Taylor Greene,” he replied. “She’s been very clear that this healthcare crisis is not made up, it’s real, Republicans have no healthcare plan, and that Democrats are correct in fighting to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.”
Bipartisanship is one of those things that many Americans say they would like to see, but MTG is famous for her routine condemnations of the Washington “Uniparty,” and helping the Democrats swindle Americans on ObamaCare is decidedly not MAGA.
MTG has clearly gotten on Trump’s bad side, and it remains to be seen how this tussle will resolve. But it’s a key fight within the MAGA movement, and that resolution matters for the entire GOP agenda.
