In a heated call, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene chastises Republicans over their shutdown strategy

(NBC News) WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., ripped into the shutdown strategy of her fellow Republicans and White House staff during a heated conference call on Tuesday.

Her chief complaint, which she has also aired publicly, is that Republicans are not doing anything to address the looming health care cliff, she confirmed on X after the call. Some funding for insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act expires at the end of this year, and many Americans could see their monthly premium costs double or even triple.

The issue has increased urgency because open enrollment begins on Saturday, Nov. 1, and there are concerns that people may drop their coverage for 2026 if they see a spike in prices.

1. They DON'T CARE! Guess Sporkfoot didn't get the memo . . .

2. There are about 86,000 ACA marketplace enrollees in MTG's district (Georgia's 14th congressional district).

(Nationally, 57% of ACA enrollees are in Republican districts.)

About 87,500 of MTG's constituents in Georgia's 14th congressional district receive SNAP benefits.

Marge is worried about keeping her seat.

3. Marge, you don't understand the conservative philosophy

Poor houses and punishment. If you don’t have the money for insurance, food or shelter too fucking bad.

4. The only Republican with her nose to the political winds

Amazed she picked up on it

6. Apparently...

As she claims, her kids' insurance is too high so she feels she needs to fix that.

5. It can't hurt. Any crack in the armor helps.

But such a strange bedfellow.
