NEW: MTG Issues Chilling Warning On ‘Addiction’ Running Rampant In Congress
A cabal of pro-war Republicans is intent on derailing President Donald Trump’s America First foreign policy agenda.
In this day and age, the party of fiscal conservatism values domestic spending over international nation-building. Bombs are instead thrown verbally by lawmakers like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), an unabashed MAGA disciple who is publicly warning the president that warhawk “neocons” in Congress are seeking every opportunity to drag the U.S. into foreign conflicts.
Many are Republicans who are “addicted to foreign wars” despite Trump winning on a populist message to wind down the country’s costly Middle East military operations. He sought to end the Afghanistan war on favorable and peaceful terms before the disastrous exit under former President Joe Biden.
She maintained that Trump, true to form, is keeping his word and that her missives are directed at “typical Republican leadership” who work hand in glove with “classic neocons” to try and co-opt the MAGA movement.
“I’m not naming and names in particular, but everyone pretty much knows it’s the same old, same old,” Greene said about the nefarious forces inside her party. “[The] classic neocon establishment in Washington. It’s just an existence. It’s a conglomerate.”
Greene rocked the boat last week when she wrote on X, “I represent the base and when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy.”
Now, it’s become more clear what she’s referring to: Exhibit A, she told the Daily Mail, is the torpedoing of Ed Martin’s nomination to be the next U.S. attorney for the District of Washington, D.C. Now that Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) has pulled his support over Martin’s defense of J6 prisoners, it’s become widely expected that he won’t secure the votes to be confirmed.
“We have problems in Congress,” she continued, alluding to Tillis’s obstruction. “[Trump’s] agenda is not being passed in Congress.”
She continued: “Look at the Senate. We’ve got, what is it? Four or five senators that are saying ‘No Ed Martin.’ Susan Collins is one of them, and she’s the Chair of Appropriations. Like these are powerful people that are refusing to pass the president’s agenda.”
Americans “didn’t vote for Susan Collins or Thom Tillis,” she added.
“So why would Senate Republicans hold that up?” Greene asked. “It’s the disconnect between typical Republican leadership and control and Washington, D.C., and all the muck that comes with it.”
The Georgia Republican, who is believed to be mulling a run for the Senate in 2026, said her truculence with House colleagues extends to disagreements over cost-cutting efforts by Elon Musk and the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency. She suggests some do not have the “stomach” for seeing through the reforms promised to rein in America’s runaway spending.
“His executive orders, DOGE cuts, rescissions, those are the easiest things” Republicans should be able to agree on, Greene observed.
Instead, some may be biding their time for the next four years until Trump is gone, knowing he can’t run again and hoping that the focus of Washington turns back to their pet issues: bloated government and warfare.
‘The Republican establishment wants to do this like a speed bump,” Greene warned while leaning forward in her seat. “They know that President Trump can’t run again.”
“They would love to continue just steaming ahead in their same path, and try to get over him like a speed bump and keep going,” the Georgia congresswoman continued. “And my voice is important to not allow that to happen.”
