MTG Goes Off On Trump Over Iran Attack—And Warns Of What Could Happen Next

Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized President Donald Trump in a lengthy post on X following his unilateral decision to bomb Iran over the weekend.

Greene is one of the most devout MAGA adherents in Congress, so her policy split is rare but shows just how deeply Trump has angered his own base since he authorized a series of intense U.S. air and submarine strikes targeting three Iranian nuclear facilities, amid ongoing uncertainty about the status of Tehran’s nuclear program

Greene said that "when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy," stressing that she "campaigned for no more foreign wars" and yet had to respond because "now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran."

While she also used her post as an opportunity to spread more conspiracy theories about the ongoing war in Ukraine, the heart of her anger was concentrated on this current conflict:

"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."

"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 Biden."

"Didn’t we learn our lesson when we went to war in Iraq and killed Saddam Hussein because of “weapons of mass destruction?” Did we ever find any? And did any of that oil over in the Middle East make us rich? The answer is no, we are $36 trillion in debt today."

"So why on earth would we go over and occupy Ukraine and spend an untold amount of future American taxpayer dollars defending and mining their minerals as well as potentially putting American lives at risk and future war? Why don’t we just mine our own rare earth minerals that are tied up on federal lands that the government confiscated years ago?"

Greene noted that she "campaigned on accountability for the communist and tyrannical acts made by the government during Covid"—making time for COVID-19 conspiracies as well—and said she "campaigned on accountability for all the law fair [sic] that was waged against the American people in the past four years," referring to those charged for their roles in the January 6 insurrection.

She also emphasized that she "campaigned for an end to waste fraud and abuse of the American people’s harder tax dollars" by supporting Elon Musk's advisory Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

She said:

"What about all the people that were locked up in jail and the abuse that they went through? And when are those vicious attorneys and judges ever going to be held accountable for the lives they ruined? And I campaigned for an end to waste fraud and abuse of the American people’s harder tax dollars."

"I believe the DOGE mission is one of the most important things happening today in our government, and yet where are the rescissions that we should be voting on in Congress?"

She also emphasized that attacking Iran hurts and takes attention from the GOP's efforts to criminalize gender-affirming care and transgender people at large:

"And one of the biggest issues in the nation that I have fought for, and early on I was one of the only ones that took a loud screaming stand against, is the evil transgender assault against our children."

"Most normal people in this country can’t even comprehend how it’s allowed to happen to kids who by law can’t even get a tattoo, drive, or vote. And how did so many of our teachers turn into the predators themselves that groom children with gender lies? This should be an all out effort by Republicans to end this insanity."

And the same applies, she suggested, to the far-right's plans to deport migrants despite being up against what she described as a "rogue judicial system" that is by extension not enforcing "election integrity:

"And look at the extreme nature of our rogue judicial system that is so defiant that there are judges that defy our nation’s laws and block the deportation of literal enemies of the United States of America. Where is the outrage and moral courage to dispose of this treason? Sadly not in Congress."

"And what about election integrity? This should be the most important issue that the Republicans aggressively fight to protect because without secure elections protected from illegals voting and protections from stealing our votes, the American people have lost their power."

She concluded:

"When you are losing MTG, you are losing the base. And Trump isn’t on the ballot in the future, so do the math on that."

Greene also went on Steve Bannon's podcast to express her dismay.

Voices on the right had their own criticisms—showing that the base is indeed as angry as Greene claims.

Trump has yet to respond to Greene's statements but the fact she even made them shows that MAGA world is truly upside down. Get your popcorn ready.
