Republicans are moaning about Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s recent breaks from her own party, accusing her positions of more closely resembling those of former Democratic President Joe Biden than GOP President Donald Trump.
In recent months, the Georgia Republican has split from her party on several major issues, including the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, the war in Gaza and healthcare subsidies that have become the sticking point of the government shutdown. Greene insisted to The Hill that it’s “ridiculous” to suggest that her stances have isolated her from the rest of her party. “I am 100 percent the same person today as I was when I ran for Congress,” she said.
