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.
Idealism, moral compass, the greater good, these things are anchors in modern times.
She keeps this up maybe I’ll change my tune. Right now all I can say is she’s not an idiot
She’s still a “Jewish Space Lasers” QAnon conspiracy nut, gaslit into being a modern US equivalent of a Nazi… until she demonstrates otherwise. And that is deeply tied to that same moral backbone we see on display, of her trying to hold Trump to his word.
The fact that she’s running to the Left of 95% of the Democratic Party in the federal government is telling, and how deep the incentives go within the power structures.
She has everything she needs to be the first woman president of the United States.
She is still an idiot. Just maybe she somehow has at least the bare minimum of a stance she is willing to not abandon.
