Former US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said the Republican Party and Trump administration are moving in the wrong direction on several key issues, including the conflict with Iran.
Her comments follow her announcement last November that she would resign from the House on Jan. 5, citing clashes with Trump and Republican leadership over foreign policy and the release of files connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
Greene wrote on X that she consulted with top America First Conservative leaders and found agreement that the party has been “hijacked by Lindsey Grahams, Mark Levin, and the neocon establishment Republicans we all voted against.”
She added, “The administration and Republican Party is going in the wrong direction on key issues, like the war, Epstein, and especially domestic issues.”
Greene also said younger generations should shape the country’s future, criticizing older leaders and donors for controlling the system. She described her five years in Congress as a period that revealed a system “completely broken and controlled.”
The remarks come amid tensions in the MAGA movement over US involvement in the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson labeled the war “Israel’s war” and condemned a strike on an Iranian all-girls school that reportedly killed more than 170 people, mostly children.
Trump dismissed Carlson’s criticism, telling ABC News, “Tucker has lost his way” and insisting that Carlson is “not MAGA.” Senator Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally, drew backlash after urging constituents to send their children to fight in the Middle East.
Other Republicans and commentators criticized the call for military involvement. Representative Nancy Mace opposed sending troops from South Carolina, while Representative Anna Paulina Luna challenged Graham to volunteer himself. Megyn Kelly also called Graham “a homicidal maniac” and urged Trump to end the conflict. Polls indicate most Americans oppose the initial strikes on Iran.
