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.

    “People watching Fox News, every day, 24/7 with their volume turned all the way up in their living room and it’s so loud that you can’t hear anything else? Those are the baby boomers and God bless them, those are my parents’ generation. I love so many of the baby boomers, but they are the most brainwashed generation because they eat that crap, like, they just eat it up all day long. They’re spoon-fed the propaganda on TV.”

    Damn, MTG over here spitting facts. She did lean into that propaganda hard, so can’t really give get a pass. But still good to see her speaking some truth.

      Given how many bullshit conspiracy theories she’s peddled over the years, she doesn’t have much ground to stand on

        No, but I’d still rather she be peddling the truth now than never. She doesn’t get a pass and I don’t forgive her, but I welcome anyone who wants to stop preaching bullshit, no matter how heinous the shit they used to say was.
