"There are some decent, honest Republicans, Sanders said. And you know, in American society, we believe in democracy. You're a conservative Republican. We disagree. So what? It's called America. We have different points of view. I gotta tell you thoughone of the things that has concerned me very, very much is that we are seeing the Republican party. Doing less of representing their districts and their states than just swearing allegiance to the President of the United States."
"Sanders was referencing a comment from Greene after she sided with Democrats on extending Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies during the government shutdown. I'm not some sort of blind slave to the president, and I don't think anyone should be, Greene told reporters. I serve in Congress. We're a separate branch of the government I got elected without the president's endorsement, and I think that has served me really well."
Senator Bernie Sanders named Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene as a Republican he could work with to potentially reopen the government. Sanders said some Republicans are decent and honest and criticized the party for prioritizing allegiance to the president over representing districts and states. Sanders cited Greene's insistence that she is beholden to her constituents, not the president. Greene had sided with Democrats to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies during the shutdown and told reporters she was not a "blind slave" to the president. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez expressed skepticism about Greene's reliability.
