Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Friday unloaded a heap of criticism on recent actions and inactions by the Trump administration and fellow Republicans, bringing up the Ukraine minerals deal, talks with Iran, and more — while being sure to not criticize President Trump personally.
“I represent the base and when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy,” Greene said in a lengthy post on the social platform X on Friday.
“I campaigned for no more foreign wars. And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran,” Greene said, in reference to ongoing talks with Iran over its nuclear program. A fourth round of talks that was slated to take place in Rome over the weekend has been postponed.
“I don’t think we should be bombing foreign countries on behalf of other foreign countries especially when they have their own nuclear weapons and massive military strength,” Greene said.
She then turned to the minerals deal that the U.S. signed with Ukraine this week, which would give the U.S. a share of Ukraine’s natural resources if the U.S. sends more money to Ukraine as it fights off a Russian invasion. Greene argued that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “is a dictator who canceled elections” — which was due to the war — and was “involved of the first impeachment of Trump.”
“Why on earth would we go over and occupy Ukraine and spend an untold amount of future American taxpayer dollars defending and mining their minerals as well as potentially putting American lives at risk and future war?” Greene said. “Why don’t we just mine our own rare earth minerals that are tied up on federal lands that the government confiscated years ago?”
from the firebrand Georgia congresswoman is striking given that she has been one of Trump’s most vocal and prominent supporters.
Greene also lamented that the COVID-19 vaccine “still has FDA approval” and wondered if “those vicious attorneys and judges” who worked “against the American people in the last four years” would be “held accountable for the lives they ruined.”
She also took aim at Republicans in Congress, wondering when there would be a vote on budgetary recessions to codify actions by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and saying there is enough “outrage and moral courage to dispose of this treason” by “rogue judges” blocking Trump actions.
“When you are losing MTG, you are losing the base. And Trump isn’t on the ballot in the future, so do the math on that,” Greene said, implicitly dismissing the idea of Trump seeking a third term in 2028, which would require a Constitutional amendment.
