Abby Phillip says Marjorie Taylor Greene is learning Trump loyalty is a ‘one-way street’
WASHINGTON, DC: CNN host Abby Philip told the co-hosts of 'The View' on Wednesday that Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga) is now confronting a painful political truth: loyalty to President Donald Trump often flows in only one direction.
Her comments come as Greene and Trump openly clash over policy, the Epstein files, and their long-fractured alliance.
Philip said Greene is facing the consequences of backing a politician whose support can disappear instantly. “What happens when suddenly the person that you’ve been backing for the last six, seven years turns on you?” she said. “I think it really changes your mindset about everything.”
Trump drops Marjorie Taylor Greene after public policy rift
Greene has split with Trump on several fronts in recent weeks, including the unreleased Epstein files, Obamacare subsidies, and foreign policy decisions. The break has been messy and public.
Trump formally withdrew his endorsement and began attacking her online, even calling her a “raging lunatic” and later “Wacky Marjorie.” Phillip said the shift has shaken Greene more deeply than many realize. “It calls into question everything that you know about yourself,” Phillip said, adding that Greene’s future ambitions, whether the Senate or governor’s office, shouldn’t be ruled out despite her recent denials.
Phillip told the hosts that anyone familiar with Trump’s political style understands the pattern.
“If you’ve covered him as I have, you know it’s a one-way street,” she said. “But she literally is learning that.” Phillip believes Greene is now recognizing that Trump “is not there for her.”
MTG confronts Trump after being called a ‘traitor’
Greene struck a defiant tone during a press conference on Tuesday after Trump labeled her a “traitor.”
“I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for five – no, actually, six years for, and I gave him my loyalty for free,” she said, according to ABC News. She also reminded reporters that she had won her first election “without his endorsement, beating eight men in a primary.”
Greene said she never “owed him anything” but supported Trump because of their shared “America First” policies. She accused him of attacking her simply because she refused to remove her name from a discharge petition supporting several Republican women.
Despite the escalating feud, Greene told CNN on Sunday that she still hoped to “make up” with Trump. “I certainly hope that we can make up… I’m a Christian and one of the most important parts of our faith is forgiveness,” she said, adding that she regretted contributing to “toxic politics.”
Her comments came just days before Trump escalated the dispute again on Truth Social, claiming Greene had “gone Far Left” after her appearance on “The View.”
