Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has voiced her growing disillusionment with the Republican Party, suggesting that she no longer feels aligned with its direction. “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 told The Daily Mail.
“The course that it’s on, I don’t want to have anything to do with it.” She added bluntly, “I just don’t care anymore.” While Greene refrained from directly criticizing President Donald Trump, she did express frustration with the White House’s decision to rescind Elise Stefanik’s nomination for United Nations ambassador in favor of Mike Waltz, a figure who had been involved in the “Signalgate” controversy.
In March, The Atlantic reported that Waltz had added Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, to a Signal chat discussing plans to bomb Yemen. Greene questioned, “How does he get awarded after Signalgate?” Greene also highlighted the treatment of women within the Republican Party, using Stefanik’s situation as an example. “She got screwed by Mike Johnson, and she got screwed by the White House,” Greene told The Daily Mail.
“I’m not blaming Trump, particularly. I’m blaming the people in the White House.” Marjorie Taylor Greene went further, suggesting that many Republican women are fed up with the way they are treated. “I think there are other women in our party who are really sick and tired of the way men treat Republican women,” she added.
“I think there are other women, Republican women, and I’m just giving my opinion here, who are really sick and tired of them.” Greene has also expressed dissatisfaction with how the GOP has abandoned key issues, particularly those related to “America First” and working-class Americans.
She pointed to a lack of party support for her initiatives, noting that she feels as though “I’m going alone right now on the issues that I’m speaking about.” Since the start of the current House session, Greene has pushed for controversial measures, including renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” making English the official language, defunding NPR and PBS, and criminalizing “deadly” weather manipulation.
In her interview, Greene also lamented the GOP’s shift away from issues she sees as crucial, like curbing foreign aid, cutting federal spending, reducing the national debt, and combating inflation. “What happened to all those issues?” she asked. “You know that I don’t know what the hell happened with the Republican Party. I really don’t.”
