Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia criticized her own party on Monday, stating that voters are fed up with Republican politicians who fail to hold the government accountable. In an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju, Greene expressed frustration with her fellow Republicans, including herself, for their lack of action.
According to Greene, Republican politicians make promises on the campaign trail, appear on television, create five-minute hearing videos, and post on social media, all while claiming they will fight and stop the issues they speak against. However, she believes that these actions are merely empty rhetoric.
Greene, known for her conspiracy theories and past involvement in a white nationalist event, acknowledged that voters must feel let down by the Republicans in Congress. She admitted to feeling the same way herself.
This is not the first time Greene has criticized her party. Last month, during the battle for a new speaker, she voiced her disappointment in the Republican conference, describing it as “absolutely broken.” Greene emphasized the responsibility of the party to work together, unify, and serve the American people and their districts.
Interestingly, even her critics found themselves in agreement with her sentiments. The tweet containing her interview garnered attention and support from various individuals.
Greene’s remarks highlight the frustration and disillusionment felt by some Republican voters towards their own party. As a controversial figure within the party, her criticism adds fuel to the growing discontent within Republican ranks.
