Marjorie Taylor Greene, the outspoken Georgia Congresswoman, has fired back at former President Donald Trump’s criticism that she has “lost her way” within the Republican Party. Greene has shown signs of dissent from Trump’s leadership several times this year, including her support for the release of Epstein files and a push for an America-first policy agenda that prioritizes domestic issues over international ones.
One of her most significant disagreements with Trump was over claims about the government’s handling of living costs. Speaking to CNN last week, Greene pointed out, “I go to the grocery store by myself. Grocery prices remain high. Energy prices are high,” reiterating that her bills have become even more burdensome since President Biden took office.
Following Greene’s remarks, Trump addressed her comments during an event on Monday, stating, “I don’t know what happened to Marjorie. She’s a nice woman, but I don’t know what happened. She’s lost her way, I think.” While Greene has not yet made a direct remark about Trump’s statement, her team responded to queries through a statement to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, asserting, “I haven’t lost my way. I’m 100% America first and only!”
In addition, Trump expressed surprise at her actions, saying, “I guess she’s got some kind of an act going, but I’m surprised at her. But when somebody like Marjorie goes over and starts making statements like that, it shows she doesn’t know.”
Greene’s relationship with Trump is closely watched by many, as her political moves have often mirrored or contrasted with his agenda, sparking considerable debate and media attention.
