WASHINGTON, DC: Republican Party Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) issued a blistering critique of her political allies, declaring she no longer feels aligned with the party’s direction and priorities.

The congresswoman, known for her blunt commentary, refrained from directly criticizing President Donald Trump. However, she strongly implied that recent moves by the White House, particularly the withdrawal of Rep Elise Stefanik’s nomination for UN ambassador, represent a broader betrayal of both the party’s female leadership and its grassroots supporters.

“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 in a candid exchange over the weekend. “The course that it’s on, I don’t want to have anything to do with it.”

“I just don’t care anymore,” she continued.

While Marjorie Taylor Greene avoided directly rebuking President Donald Trump, she openly criticized the administration’s decision to withdraw Rep Elise Stefanik’s nomination for UN ambassador in favor of Rep Mike Waltz, who was implicated in the so-called “Signalgate” controversy. 

The scandal involved a private messaging group where sensitive discussions reportedly included the bombing of Yemen, with The Atlantic's editor Jeffrey Goldberg controversially added to the chat.

“How does he get awarded after Signalgate?” Greene asked.

Marjorie Taylor Greene accused GOP leadership of sidelining women in the party. “She got screwed by Mike Johnson, and she got screwed by the White House,” Greene said. “I’m not blaming Trump, particularly. I’m blaming the people in the White House.”

She added, “I think there’s other women in our party that are really sick and tired of the way men treat Republican women, I think there’s other women, Republican women, and I’m just giving my opinion here, who are really sick and tired of them.”

Greene also voiced broader frustrations with the direction of the Republican Party, accusing it of abandoning its core values.

“The GOP has turned its back on America First and the workers and just regular Americans,” she said.

In her Saturday interview with the Daily Mail, Greene expressed dismay over what she sees as the Republican Party’s drift from its original priorities. She said she wished the GOP would refocus on slashing foreign aid, empowering the Department of Government Efficiency to rein in federal spending, reducing the national debt, and tackling inflation.

“What happened to all those issues?” she said. “I’m going to fight for what’s right — with or without the Republican Party behind me.”

Georgia Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene once again ignited controversy after publicly criticizing the Republican Party, prompting mixed reactions online. While Greene insisted she wasn’t targeting Donald Trump directly, her comments questioning the GOP’s direction have fueled speculation of a deeper rift within the party and unleashed a firestorm across social media.

“She had to go out of her way to say she wasn’t criticizing Trump for many of the actions of his administration. These people are addicted to sucking up to one guy,” one user posted.

“Just temporary. She'll be back to idolizing the orange 47,” another predicted with a sarcastic edge.

Another supported Greene’s willingness to speak out with one writing, “She is a good person and better than pretty much every politician in DC. She is right.”

“I couldn't stand this yowling banshee but give the devil her due, she's angling for bigger and better things and she just may get them. She smells blood and she is a lot smarter than Bobert,” one added.

“Marjorie needs to go. She is hurting the GOP and does not deserve to be a representative of the party,” one user wrote bluntly.

“Trump has turned out to be an outstanding over-achiever president. Greene is an attention-getting woman with a safe seat who thinks she can cause trouble for the country by arguing with Trump,” another added. “There are real issues but she doesn't address those.”

“Sweetie, the Republican party is doing what they have always done. Use the yahoos and rules to get elected. Then cater to multi millionaires and billionaires,” one concluded.
