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.
The headline gets it wrong. She’s not breaking ranks with MAGA. She’s beginning to lead it.
She’s breaking ranks with Trump.
“The House is not in session, which I think is inexcusable. Mike Johnson should be calling us back. Because we should be working, not only on our appropriations but building an offramp off of Obamacare for the American people… and passing president Trump’s agenda and executive orders.”
Can’t help but feel like she’s not so much breaking ranks with Trump - but instead she has said one or two things that the media has spun up to make it sound that way for clickbait headlines.
