Marjorie Taylor Greene
Former US Representative (GA-14)
America First with the Trump ripped out: an ex-MAGA folk hero turned anti-war, anti-uniparty independent who says the movement's own president went America Last.
Greene rode QAnon-flavored conspiracism and absolute Trump loyalty from north Georgia to MAGA royalty, then became the movement's loudest apostate: her crusade to release the Epstein files got her branded a 'traitor' by Trump, and she resigned from Congress effective January 5, 2026, refusing to be a 'battered wife.' Since leaving office she has called Gaza a genocide, torched Trump's Iran war and accused Pete Hegseth of 'bloodlust,' quit the Republican Party days after Tucker Carlson, and swatted away the 2028 speculation that now follows her everywhere — all while insisting she never changed, Washington did.
Basis for the leaning assessment
Elected as a hard-right Republican, 2024 Trump-campaign surrogate and culture-war brawler — but her 2025-26 rupture with Trump, anti-war turn, and June 2026 exit from the GOP make the red coding messier than it once was. Editorial estimate pending community votes.

No more forever wars — not even Trump's.
Says America First means staying out of foreign wars: she calls Trump's Iran campaign a betrayal by the 'peace president' that is killing US troops, and wants the US to stop funding wars abroad, including Israel's in Gaza.

It's the most truthful and easiest thing to say that Oct. 7 in Israel was horrific and all hostages must be returned, but so is the genocide, humanitarian crisis, and starvation happening in Gaza.
X post rebuking Rep. Randy Fine; date per JTA's July 30, 2025 report, which also noted her call to stop US funding of the war.
Made her likely the first Republican in Congress to call the Gaza war a genocide, cracking the GOP's lockstep support for Israel's campaign.

Trump is bragging about killing 18 US soldiers. Thats how I read this stupid posts. The 'peace president' went to war and is killing and wounding our troops. GFY.
X post responding to Trump comparing the Iran war's US death toll (18 in four months) favorably against his predecessors' wars; date per The Hill's July 22, 2026 report.
Telling the sitting president 'GFY' over dead soldiers spread as the rawest moment yet in the MAGA civil war over the Iran conflict.
Goals
Short-term
Force full release of the Epstein files
ActiveContinue the transparency crusade that triggered her break with Trump, framed as justice for trafficking victims abused by 'rich powerful men.'

Build an 'America First without Trump' platform outside the GOP
ActiveSince quitting the Republican Party she has worked the podcast circuit, teased a 'Life with MTG' online series, and positioned herself as the voice of MAGA voters who feel betrayed by both parties.

Long-term
A 2028 presidential run she denies wanting
UnclearTIME reported in November 2025 that she had privately discussed running in 2028; Greene answered, 'I'm not running for President and never said I wanted to' — even as commentators keep floating her as a contender and she keeps the door visibly ajar.

An American government that serves the interests not of the wealthy, the globalists, or the powerful few, but of all hard working Americans is within our grasp.
Night-one Republican National Convention speech, where she told delegates Trump 'will make America successful again.'

But we are DONE with the America LAST Republican Party.
X post announcing she was leaving the GOP after Tucker Carlson's departure from the party; she wrote that 'Tucker is not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party.'
A founding MAGA celebrity formally quitting Trump's party turned 'America Last' into the anti-Trump right's rallying cry.
In July 2024 she had a prime-time RNC slot vouching that Trump would 'make America successful again'; twenty-three months later she quit his party as 'America LAST.' Greene insists she is the constant — still America First while Trump betrayed MAGA on the Epstein files, health care, and foreign wars, then branded her a 'traitor' for saying so. Trump and his loyalists counter that she is the one who flipped, dismissing her as a 'very dumb person' with 'new views' driven by wounded ambition. Either way, the arc from convention warm-up act to party defector is the sharpest reversal in MAGA's short history.

In a since-deleted November 2018 Facebook post, Greene speculated that California's deadly Camp Fire might have been ignited by a beam from space, suggesting a corporate cabal she implied included the Rothschild banking firm was behind it.
The 2018 post resurfaced weeks after she was sworn in to Congress; date is the Forbes report date.
The paraphrase 'Jewish space lasers' trended for days and became a permanent punchline attached to her name.

We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this.
Presidents Day tweet blaming 'woke culture' and Democrats' 'traitorous America Last policies'; Liz Cheney and other Republicans accused her of flirting with secession.
Dominated political media for days, spawning polls and explainers on whether 'national divorce' meant secession; even GOP colleagues publicly rejected it.

I refuse to be a 'battered wife' hoping it all goes away and gets better.
From her resignation announcement (effective January 5, 2026) after Trump withdrew his endorsement and branded her a traitor, a rupture she tied to her push to release the Epstein files.
