AlterNet - 'Losing the base': MTG goes on massive rant against Trump

One far-right MAGA Republican who is expressing displeasure with Trump's more imperialistic ideas is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia).

In an angry rant posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday, May 2, Greene argued that some of Trump's recent actions are incompatible with the MAGA movement's "America First" ideology.

"I represent the base and when I'm frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy," Greene tweeted. "I campaigned for no more foreign wars. And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran. I don't think we should be bombing foreign countries on behalf of other foreign countries especially when they have their own nuclear weapons and massive military strength."

Greene continued, "And on top of that, now we are told that we have signed a deal for mineral rights in Ukraine, in order to pay us back for the hundreds of billions of dollars that we gave Ukraine and they used for money laundering, sold the weapons we gave them to our enemies, and their leader is a dictator who canceled elections, was involved of the first impeachment of Trump, and campaigned for (President Joe) Biden."

The MAGA congresswoman also railed against COVID-19 vaccines, promoting the repeatedly debunked conspiracy theory that they are dangerous.

rear again.

11. Oh, Marge, you campaigned for Dictator Donny.

And now that you’ve got Dictator Donny, you don’t need to worry your pret—erm, little head about the details of how things are or are not done. So you just sit back and wait for the leopards, okay?
