Marjorie Taylor Greene tells Bannon Republicans are not delivering, lying to Trump

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene stressed in remarks to Steve Bannon on Monday that her recent criticisms of the Trump administration have nothing to do with President Donald Trump.

“There is no wedge between the base and President Trump,” she told Bannon. “The wedge is between Congress and the establishment Republicans that are undermining the president’s agenda, and also anyone that gets in the president’s ear and is lying to him about what he should be doing.”

Listen:

Republicans in Congress are not delivering on the mandate given to them by the American people!

There is no wedge between the American people and Pres Trump.

As usual, there is a wedge between the American people and establishment Republicans who are dragging their feet on… pic.twitter.com/ldhe3ehrMp

Pointing to last year’s landslide presidential election victory, Greene argued that it was a “mandate” for Republicans in Congress and elsewhere to fully embrace the president’s agenda.

“This country rose up in a historic way, something that we haven’t seen in our lifetime, Steve, and delivered a mandate, and that mandate was to the Republican party,” she said. “The mandate was President Trump’s agenda. The American people said, ‘No, we’re, we’re done with the old Republican party ways.’”

“We are rejecting the Democrat party’s policies. We are embracing Make America Great Again, MAGA, America first, MAHA, no more foreign wars, this whole populist movement supporting America and American workers and American companies, and American interest in solving American problems. That’s what November 2024 was about,” she added.

The problem, she continued, is that few in Washington got the message.

“And Washington, as usual, is tone deaf and has not heard the message,” Greene explained. “What we saw is all these Republicans that rejected Trump, fought Trump in his first administration, you know, networks even like Fox News that did not support the president and didn’t support him in 2021 and 2022 part of 2023 and didn’t support him until they realized they had to support him.”

She concluded her remarks by noting that the folks in Washington “better pay attention” and heed her warning because she has the clout.

“Never forget, I got here on my own with the people,” she said. “I didn’t get elected with the president’s endorsement. I’m here because I genuinely believe, and I’m fighting for what I believe in.”

The remarks to Bannon came three days after Greene posted a scathing tweet critical of the Trump administration.

Look:

I represent the base and when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy.

I campaigned for no more foreign wars.

And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran.

I don’t think we should be bombing foreign…

In the lengthy tweet, she criticized a number of the Trump administration’s recent moves, including its continued promotion of the COVID vaccine, its saber-rattling with Iran, and even its recently negotiated mineral rights deal with Ukraine.

“Didn’t we learn our lesson when we went to war in Iraq and killed Saddam Hussein because of ‘weapons of mass destruction?’” she wrote. “Did we ever find any? And did any of that oil over in the Middle East make us rich? The answer is no, we are $36 trillion in debt today.”

“So why on earth would we go over and occupy Ukraine and spend an untold amount of future American taxpayer dollars defending and mining their minerals as well as potentially putting American lives at risk and future war? Why don’t we just mine our own rare earth minerals that are tied up on federal lands that the government confiscated years ago?” she added.

She concluded the post with another stern warning: “When you are losing MTG, you are losing the base. And Trump isn’t on the ballot in the future, so do the math on that.”

Surprisingly, Greene’s post attracted a lot of pushback and disagreement, particularly about Iran.

Look:

Iran is a terrorist state and must never be allowed nuclear weapons. No cost is too great to prevent it.

If we do nothing and Iran gets the bomb, all the terror associates it sponsors also get the bomb. Can you promise the american people that these terrorist will never be successful at using a dirty or nuclear bomb on American soil once they have obtained capability?

Usually agree with MTG, but not on this. More nuclear weapons, especially in the hands of fanatics, do not make the world safer. I also don’t think it will be a war, per se. A few bunker buster bombs will do the trick. Iran has call for the destruction of the United States.…
