"In recent months, however, something strange has been happening. Greene has continued to generate headlines, but largely because she has turned on her party and is part of a growing Maga civil war. Greene was the first Republican lawmaker, for example, to say that there is a genocide in Gaza and has been one of the loudest voices demanding that the Epstein files be released. She has also criticised the Maga movement for not focusing on affordability or putting America first."
"On Friday the president, who stood by Greene when she voiced conspiracy theories about school shootings and claimed that wildfires were started by space lasers, announced on Truth Social that he was finally withdrawing his endorsement of the congresswoman. All I see Wacky' Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN! he complained. Adding: I can't take a ranting Lunatic's call every day."
Marjorie Taylor Greene used conspiracy theories, public feuds, and staunch Trump support to become a prominent, polarizing congresswoman. Since 2021 she has repeatedly generated headlines by promoting unfounded claims and clashing with colleagues. She has criticized her own party, called out conservative priorities, and taken positions such as declaring a genocide in Gaza and pushing for release of the Epstein files. The tensions culminated in a public break with Donald Trump after he withdrew his endorsement on Truth Social, calling her complaints incessant and describing daily calls as intolerable. Greene says the comments were hurtful, still backs the administration, and fears for her safety.
