Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a prominent Republican voice, reportedly expressed her discontent with President Donald Trump during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s “WarRoom” podcast, criticizing him for what she perceives as a betrayal of his campaign promises regarding military intervention in the Middle East.
Greene’s comments come in the wake of recent U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, which she argues represent a departure from Trump’s earlier commitments to avoid new conflicts in the region.
“We are entering a nuclear war, World War III, because the entire world is going to erupt,” Greene lamented, directly linking the strikes to a broader escalation of global tensions.
She asserted that the military action was taken on behalf of Israel, framing it as a significant shift from Trump’s earlier pledges to prioritize peace over conflict.
Greene’s critique did not stop there; she warned of a potential backlash against those currently supporting the military actions.
“Their tune is going to drastically change the minute we start seeing flag-draped coffins on the nightly news,” she stated, highlighting her concern that public sentiment would shift dramatically in response to casualties.
This remark underscores her belief that the consequences of military engagement will soon be felt at home.
In addition to her critique of Trump’s foreign policy, Greene took issue with the proposed budget bill, particularly its provisions regarding artificial intelligence regulation.
She expressed her intention to vote against any legislation that undermines state rights to regulate AI, describing such measures as “absurd.”
Greene’s comments also included a pointed rebuke of conservative media figures who have criticized her stance, specifically targeting Fox News host Mark Levin, who labeled her a “nitwit.”
“I have a voting card,” she countered, emphasizing her representation of a district that supports America First policies and desires to see Trump’s agenda enacted.
The exchange reflects a broader rift within the Republican Party, where differing opinions on foreign intervention and domestic policy are becoming increasingly pronounced.
Pro-MAGA commentators have engaged in heated debates over U.S. involvement in Iran, with figures like Levin and Sean Hannity supporting intervention, while others—including Bannon and Tucker Carlson—advocate for non-involvement.
As tensions mount both internationally and within the Republican Party, Greene’s comments serve to highlight the complexities facing conservative leaders as they navigate the delicate balance between party loyalty and constituent concerns.
The fallout from the recent military actions may have lasting implications for the party’s direction and its leadership in the coming years.
