Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is openly questioning whether she still fits within today’s Republican Party, as recent stances have put her at odds with party leadership — and even with President Trump himself.
In a candid interview, Greene expressed frustration with what she sees as the GOP drifting away from the America First principles that originally drew her in. She’s voiced strong support for releasing all documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein, criticized military strikes in Iran, and condemned the situation in Gaza as “genocide” — all positions that have created tension between her and many in her party.
“I don’t know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I’m kind of not relating to the Republican Party as much anymore,” she said. “I think the Republican Party has turned its back on America First and the workers and just regular Americans.”
Greene, once seen as a fringe figure, has become both a high-profile Trump ally and a frequent critic of the GOP establishment. She believes the party’s leadership is reverting to its “neocon” roots, with power brokers working to stifle the populist movement.
She also took aim at U.S. foreign aid, rising debt, inflation, and what she sees as the bloated federal bureaucracy, arguing that priorities central to the MAGA movement are being sidelined. “What happened to all those issues? I don’t know what the hell happened with the Republican Party. I really don’t,” she said. “But I’ll tell you one thing — the course that it’s on, I don’t want to have anything to do with it.”
Greene’s vocal insistence that the Epstein files be made public marked a notable split from Trump, who has sought to move on from the scandal. She warned that withholding information would alienate the base. “If you tell the base of people, who support you, of deep state treasonous crimes… then you must take down every enemy of The People,” she wrote online. “If not, the base will turn and there’s no going back.”
She also sharply criticized the recent U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear facilities — which Trump praised — calling it a “bait and switch” move meant to appease “neocons, warmongers, and military industrial complex contracts.”
On Israel, Greene was one of only two Republicans to vote in favor of cutting some aid, citing concerns about a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Although Trump acknowledged starvation was occurring, Greene went further, calling the situation a genocide.
She didn’t hold back when discussing the treatment of Republican women, naming Rep. Elise Stefanik as someone who she believes was wronged by GOP leadership. “She got screwed by Mike Johnson, and she got screwed by the White House,” Greene said. “I’m not blaming Trump, particularly. I’m blaming the people in the White House.”
Recognizing that her views often isolate her, Greene said she’s fine standing alone. “I’m going alone right now on the issues that I’m speaking about,” she said. “I had to beat eight men and really whoop one in the primary… and I did that by myself. Not with President Trump’s help, not Mike Johnson’s.”
Her comments reflect a growing internal rift, suggesting Greene is increasingly willing to challenge the party she once fiercely championed — even if it means going it alone.
