WASHINGTON, DC: Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene is not so happy with her favorite president.

The firebrand congresswoman from Georgia just threw a Molotov cocktail into her party, slamming fellow Republicans and even taking a not-so-subtle jab at President Donald Trump.

"I gave my vote for a Biden/Democrat funding and policy CR once because my president asked me to, but I will not do it again," the lawmaker posted on X. "Going forward, earning my vote for funding and policies will be defined by these issues."

Her fury bubbled over Friday, May 2, when she told supporters, “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.”



 

What’s setting her off this time is the prospect of foreign wars, Ukraine aid, abortion funding, and what she calls the “child-abusive medical industry," Raw Story reported.

"I campaigned for no more foreign wars. And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran," she said. "I don’t think we should be bombing foreign countries on behalf of other foreign countries, especially when they have their own nuclear weapons and massive military strength."

Marjorie Taylor Greene says US shouldn’t 'occupy Ukraine'

Marjorie Taylor Greene railed against the latest rumblings of military action.

"I campaigned for no more foreign wars. And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran," she said. "I don’t think we should be bombing foreign countries on behalf of other foreign countries, especially when they have their own nuclear weapons and massive military strength."

She then torched a new US-Ukraine minerals deal that would allow the US to share in Ukraine’s natural resources in exchange for more aid — a deal pushed by Trump himself.

“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?” Greene asked. “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 called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a “dictator who canceled elections" and reminded everyone of his alleged role in “the first impeachment of Trump.” 

Greene then laid down the law. “I will not vote to fund a single penny or bullet to Ukraine regardless of a useless mineral deal," she declared.

Marjorie Taylor Greene lashes out at everything from taxes to trans care

Marjorie Taylor Greene kept swinging. She launched into another tirade over Covid-19 policies. “I will not vote to fund a CDC that keeps the failed and dangerous mRNA Covid vaccines on the childhood vaccine schedule," she insisted.

She then added, "I will not vote to fund reconciliation and tax law that raises taxes on hard-working small business owners and does not include the President’s tax campaign promises of NO tax on tips, overtime, and social security," and, "Make the DOGE cuts permanent."

"For the love of God, give the American people and those who have suffered and worked the hardest a break," she wrote.

She reiterated her hardline stance on trans rights and reproductive healthcare. “I will not vote for a single penny to fund anything that is involved in the trans agenda and child-abusive medical industry that lies to children about their gender and sexuality and performs any level of sex changes on minors,” she fumed.

“No federal funding for abortion and any entity involved in organ harvesting of dead and murdered babies. Period," she added.

Marjorie Taylor Greene warns GOP they’re bleeding the base

Marjorie Taylor Greene mocked her Republican colleagues for dragging their feet on budget cuts and failing to act on what she called “treason” by “rogue judges” who have blocked Donald Trump’s executive orders. She also called for a vote on “budgetary recessions to codify actions by the Department of Government Efficiency.”

She finally warned, “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.”

Greene appeared to brush off the fantasy of Trump seeking a third term in 2028 (which would require a constitutional amendment). She implied that when he’s out of the picture, it will be her voice and those like hers that will shape the future of the GOP.
