GOP congresswoman says Trump betrayed isolationists with Iran attack: ‘MAGA is not a cult’
Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene vehemently voiced her opposition to President Trump’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, claiming the attack “feels like a complete bait and switch to please the neocons.”
Greene, who had joined Trump on the campaign trail in 2024, said there were three major promises that were part of the MAGA foreign policy agenda: “NO MORE FOREIGN WARS. NO MORE REGIME CHANGE. WORLD PEACE.”
But after issuing the order to strike three nuclear facilities in Iran, Trump reneged on those promises, according to Greene.
“Only 6 months in and we are back into foreign wars, regime change, and world war 3,” she tweeted. “It feels like a complete bait and switch to please the neocons, warmongers, military industrial complex contracts, and neocon tv personalities that MAGA hates and who were NEVER TRUMPERS!”
Greene, who sides with MAGA’s isolationist wing, has been feuding with neoconservatives who wanted the U.S. to get involved in Israel’s combat operations in Iran.
Fox News host and neoconservative Mark Levin called Greene a “shameless” nitwit after she tweeted: “I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran, but I know many people who have been victims of crime committed by criminal illegal aliens or MURDERED by Cartel and Chinese fentanyl/drugs.”
“Marjorie Taylor Green [sic], shameless nitwit. How incredibly dumb is this Marjorie Taylor Green [sic]?” tweeted Levin.
“She doesn’t know anyone in America who has been a victim of crime or killed by Iran? You mean the thousands of Americans, especially military personnel, killed and maimed by the Iranian terrorist regime?”
Greene also questioned the administration’s changing story on the effectiveness of the strikes.
“After the bombs were dropped, we were told ‘complete success’ and Iran’s nuclear capabilities were totally wiped out,” she said. “Then it quickly turned to Iran’s nuclear facilities ‘partially damaged’ and now it’s ‘we don’t know where their enriched uranium is.’”
The Georgia congresswoman said her views are shaped by the future of her three children, ages 22, 25 and 27.
“I am FIGHTING for them to have a future where they can afford to buy a home, afford insurance, invest for retirement, enjoy life, retain their God given freedoms, afford to raise a family under their Christian faith, not be in debt, safety and security, AND NOT HAVE OUR OWN TAX PAYER FUNDED GOVERNMENT DESTROY IT ALL,” she said.
She said the MAGA movement is not a monolith.
“Contrary to brainwashed Democrat boomers think and protest about, Trump is not a king, MAGA is not a cult, and I can and DO have my own opinion,” Greene said.
