LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene once again made it clear where her allegiance lies — firmly with Donald Trump. During her appearance on the Friday, October 31 episode of 'Real Time with Bill Maher', Greene defended the former president and took sharp aim at fellow Republicans, accusing them of failing to deliver meaningful policies.

“I’ve always supported him,” Greene said, adding that she has a “solid relationship” with the president. She emphasized that loyalty, saying, “I’ve got a great relationship with the president. I’ve always supported him and gave him my support for free."

When Bill Maher asked if the president was angry at her over her outspoken remarks on issues like the Epstein files, healthcare, and the government shutdown, Greene brushed it off. “I blame my own party. That’s absolutely wrong,” she said.

“And I don’t think it’s an easy thing to fix. However, it’s something that we should have a plan for. And (House Speaker) Mike Johnson, for a month now, cannot give me a single policy idea — and I’m angry about that.”

Greene criticized Johnson and other Republican leaders for failing to act decisively, accusing them of using the American people as “a piñata” amid ongoing political gridlock.

Marjorie Taylor Greene calls out both parties, praises Trump’s White House project

This isn’t the first time Greene has publicly taken issue with her own party. In a previous interview with Fox 5 Atlanta, she said, “I’m not putting the blame on the president, I’m actually putting the blame on the speaker and Leader Thune in the Senate. This should not be happening,” referring to the government shutdown.



Greene also renewed her call for transparency around the Jeffrey Epstein files, saying, “The truth needs to come out and the government holds the truth. The cases that are sealed hold the truth, Jeffrey Epstein’s estate holds the truth. The FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA hold the truth.”



While she has repeatedly criticized her party, Greene continues to defend Trump’s decisions. Commenting on his recent White House ballroom renovation, she wrote on X, “I fully trust and support President Trump’s expertise to build a stunning addition to the White House that every administration going forward will enjoy. And it cost the American people $0!”
