Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has publicly expressed deep discontent with the current direction of the Republican Party, accusing its leadership of turning away from the America First principles that defined President Donald Trump’s administration.
In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Greene questioned whether she still aligns with the party she was elected to represent.
“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,” she told the outlet. “I don’t know which one it is.”
Greene argued that the GOP is abandoning its working-class base and shifting back toward policies associated with the “neocon” establishment.
“I think the Republican Party has turned its back on America First and the workers and just regular Americans,” she said.
Throughout her time in Congress, Greene has positioned herself as one of the most vocal allies of President Trump.
She reaffirmed that position in the interview, insisting there is no personal rift between her and the former president.
“I have always been President Trump’s most outspoken ally,” Greene said.
“There’s no break between me and him.”
Despite her loyalty to Trump, Greene has recently taken public stands against some of his foreign policy decisions.
These include his administration’s military action in Iran, his continued support for Ukraine in its war against Russia, and his administration’s backing of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
Greene has gone as far as labeling the war in Gaza a “genocide,” a statement that has attracted attention and criticism.
The congresswoman’s stance highlights growing divisions within the party over international engagement and foreign aid spending.
Internally, Greene has accused Republican leadership in Congress of creating a “good old boys” club that sidelines dissenting voices and undercuts the America First agenda.
She took aim specifically at House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), whom she attempted to remove from the speakership last year.
“I’m not afraid of Mike Johnson at all,” Greene stated.
Her failed effort to oust Johnson was prompted by his support for legislation that provided about $61 billion in U.S. aid to Ukraine, the New York Post outlined.
That legislation passed with support from both Republicans and Democrats.
Greene also criticized what she sees as a lack of support for female leaders within the GOP. She cited Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), who was once nominated by Trump to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
The nomination was rescinded in March due to concerns over preserving the GOP’s slim House majority.
“The one that really got shafted was Elise Stefanik,” Greene said.
“She got screwed by Mike Johnson, and she got screwed by the White House. I’m not blaming Trump, particularly. I’m blaming the people in the White House.”
Greene went on to question why Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) was selected to replace Stefanik as the UN envoy nominee, asking why he was “awarded after Signalgate.”
The specific details of the “Signalgate” incident were not addressed in the interview.
In the interview, Greene expressed additional frustration with the GOP’s failure to deliver on several promised legislative goals, including reducing the national deficit and implementing reforms through the proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
“Like, what happened to all those issues? … I don’t know what the hell happened with the Republican Party. I really don’t,” she said.
Greene argued that the party has not followed through on core issues that matter to the conservative base, including government accountability, waste reduction and fiscal responsibility.
The congresswoman’s remarks reflect a broader sentiment of dissatisfaction among certain factions of the Republican Party, particularly those aligned with the America First agenda.
Greene’s public statements may signal potential challenges for party unity ahead of the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election.
“But I’ll tell you one thing, the course that it’s on, I don’t want to have anything to do with it, and I, I just don’t care anymore,” Greene concluded.
