Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a prominent figure on the far-right who has been a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, is voicing her frustrations and signaling a potential disconnect from the Republican Party. In recent weeks, Greene has taken a stand against her party and Trump on key issues she is passionate about. She has publicly criticized Israel’s military actions in Gaza, labeling them as “genocide,” opposed Trump’s latest executive order on artificial intelligence, and called for the release of the Epstein Files. “I don't know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I'm kind of not relating to the Republican Party as much anymore,” Greene remarked. “I don't know which one it is.” The congresswoman from Georgia expressed feeling abandoned by her party on issues that resonate with her, such as scaling back foreign aid, utilizing the Department of Government Efficiency for budget cuts, and addressing inflation. Greene has been a consistent advocate for halting military aid to Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict with Russia, a stance that has remained steadfast. She has also criticized the Biden administration’s involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict. With Elon Musk stepping away from the White House, the administration seems less inclined to leverage DOGE for budget cuts, and while DOGE personnel remain within the government, reports suggest their influence has diminished. “Like what happened to all those issues? You know that I don't know what the hell happened with the Republican Party. I really don't,” Greene stated. “But I'll tell you one thing, the direction it's heading, I want no part of it, and I just don’t care anymore,” she added. Greene has pointed out that the GOP's continued adherence to unpopular policies could alienate younger voters. Additionally, in an interview with The Daily Mail, she suggested that conservative women might also feel disenchanted with the party based on how they are treated. “I think there are other women in our party who are really fed up with the way men treat Republican women,” Greene said.
