GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Tuesday slammed President Donald Trump for his feedback on the murders of Rob and Michele Reiner, as she predicted extra Republicans will observe her lead in breaking with Trump.
“I thought that statement was absolutely completely below the office of the president of the United States, classless, and it was just wrong,” Greene instructed NCS’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source.”
Trump on Monday in a Truth Social put up lambasted the beloved director for his left-leaning politics and recommended Reiner had introduced his demise upon himself.
“MAGA faithful reacted big time and they called it out,” she stated.
Greene, who is retiring from Congress in January after a bitter falling out with Trump, recommended the cracks in the Republican Party are rising wider.
“I think the dam is breaking,” she warned, pointing to current Republican breaks with Trump.
Last week, 13 House Republicans – in a uncommon rebuke of the president – voted with Democrats to revive collective bargaining rights he had stripped from about 1 million federal employees earlier this yr.
“Those 13 Republicans that voted to take down his executive order last week, literally that same evening put on their tuxedos and their evening ballgowns and went to the White House Christmas party. That’s pretty bold,” Greene instructed Collins.
In the similar week, Indiana Senate Republicans rejected Trump’s push to redraw the state’s congressional districts to supply two extra GOP-friendly seats.
“That is a sign where you’re seeing Republicans, they’re entering the campaign phase for 2026, which is a large signal that lame duck season has begun,” Greene stated. “He’s got real problems with Republicans within the House and the Senate that will be breaking with him on more things to come.”
The Georgia Republican who has lengthy been one in every of Trump’s most ardent supporters earlier than their current falling out cautioned that two extra issues threaten to derail her get together’s hopes for the midterm elections — affordability, which Trump has referred to as a “Democrat hoax” and medical insurance.
NCS previously reported that many Republicans fear Trump is lacking the mark on each subjects, as he continues to insist that the economic system is booming. “What I would like to see from the president is empathy for Americans,” Greene stated. “Donald Trump is a billionaire, and he’s the president of the United States. When he looks into a camera and says affordability is a hoax and just totally tries to make nothing out of inflation, he’s talking to Americans that are suffering, and have been suffering for many years now, and are having a hard time making ends meet.”
Trump introduced that he’ll ship a dwell tackle from the White House on Wednesday night time.
Greene stated the president ought to focus on the voters and his marketing campaign guarantees. “He needs to stop the revolving door of foreign leaders into his White House. He needs to stop embracing al Qaeda ISIS terrorists that were once wanted by the United States who have now become the Syrian president, and stop calling people like me traitors.”
The future for the Grand Old Party, Greene fears, is trying grim.
“I think the midterms are going to be very hard for Republicans,” she lamented. “I’m one of the people that’s willing to admit the truth and say I don’t see Republicans winning the midterms right now.”
