"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., once one of President Trump's strongest supporters in Congress, called his foreign policies "not America first positions" and said his recent attacks against her can "put my life in danger." Greene and Trump have traded barbs in last few days over the future of the Make America Great Again movement, raising new questions about the president's firm grip on the Republican Party."
"On Friday, Trump withdrew his endorsement of the Georgia lawmaker calling her "Wacky" and claiming Greene's recent criticism of him was all about his refusal to support her future political ambitions. On Saturday, Trump called here a "traitor" in a social media post. "He called me a traitor and that is so extremely wrong," Greene said during an interview on CNN's State of The Union with Dana Bash on Sunday."
"When asked about her previous attacks against political opponents such as in 2020 when she posted an image of a gun alongside a group of progressive Democratic congresswomen Greene apologized. "I think that's fair criticism," Greene said. "And I would like to say humbly I'm sorry for taking part and the toxic politics. It's very bad for our country." During the extensive interview, Greene also criticized Trump's recent defense of the H-1B visa program which lets companies sponsor foreign-born workers for skilled labor."
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was once one of President Trump's strongest supporters in Congress. She characterized his foreign policies as "not America first positions" and criticized his defense of the H-1B visa program and frequent foreign travel. Greene said Trump's recent public attacks, including withdrawing his endorsement and calling her "Wacky" and a "traitor," use words that can radicalize people and put her life in danger. Greene apologized for posting a 2020 image of a gun alongside progressive Democratic congresswomen and expressed regret for participating in toxic politics. The exchange raises questions about Trump's hold on the Republican Party.
