Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) called out one-time ally Donald Trump for abandoning the core promises behind his “Make America Great Again” movement.
“MAGA is, I think people are realizing, it was all a lie,” she told YouTube host Kim Iversen. “It was a big lie for the people.”
The Trump administration, she said, is all about serving “big, big donors,” including foreign countries and large corporations, with many funneling cash to Trump’s PACs and pet projects such as his White House ballroom to win favor.
Don’t think she didn’t know it was a grift the entire time. She got in, got hers and is now getting out so she can do the whole ‘news consultant’ gig. The only thing I’ll give her credit for is that she might just open a couple of eyes… but I don’t think she’s doing that out of a sense of service to her country, but instead it is just part of her personal rebranding.
MTG is smart*, amoral, and self interested. Of course she’d be one of the first rats off the ship.
They all know it’s a grift. She wanted the grift. What she figured out is that she will never really be part of the boys’ club.
