After media outlets reported on Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's criticism of President Donald Trump's attack on Iran, Greene lashed out at journalists she claims are promoting the "fake narrative" that she's splitting from him after being one of his biggest supporters in Congress.
Earlier this week, she 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."
Greene, who claimed that "when you are losing MTG, you are losing the base," said Trump's unilateral decision to authorize a series of intense U.S. air and submarine strikes targeting three Iranian nuclear facilities would ultimately hurt the GOP's larger objectives, including criminalizing transgender people and investigating government waste.

But it looks like she wants to have her cake and eat it too, declaring with a heart emoji that she "loves" Trump and saying:
"The press and some other nasty people would love to write lying headlines and create dirty rumors that there’s a break between me and President Trump. WRONG."

To further convince her base that she is not actually mad enough at Trump to consider splitting from him entirely, she shared footage of her exchange with a reporter who'd questioned her, warning them that they shouldn't put “out a complete narrative about me that is not true."
She also added, in part:
"I don’t have to answer any more of your questions because I am sick and tired of your narrative and I’m calling it out as complete and total bulls**t.”
She also included the following caption just in case any of the MAGA faithful doubt her:
"I just ripped a reporter for his attempt to smear me, lie about me, and push a fake narrative that I don’t support President Trump."

But her conservative followers were not buying it.
Your words speak for themselves, Marge.
