Marjorie Taylor Greene, who says she is politically homeless after her fallout with the president, praised Democrats and trashed Republicans on Thursday.
The former Georgia representative visited The Texas Tribune Festival, the same event where Texas Senate candidate James Talarico challenged Ken Paxton to a debate moderated by Bret Baier, where she talked about her political evolution from a staunch ally of President Donald Trump to believing MAGA is “dead.”

“The way I see things right now is, the MAGA movement, and the reason why many of us supported it, was because we were- I was never one of those hardcore Republicans. As a matter of fact, I ran for Congress in 2020, mad at Republicans and wanting to change the party,” she explained. “I always felt like no matter who I voted for, I always got George Bush and got another foreign war. And here we are again, and it was Donald Trump who I had listened to over and over again, campaigned with him all over the country, and had basically believed his words of no more foreign wars, putting America first, which was very important to me as just an average American that grew up in a small business, a family construction business, and raised three children.”
“So what does the future look like for MAGA right now? I think Trump has lied so much to us and betrayed us so incredibly beyond any of my comprehension. I think MAGA is dead,” she continued, pausing for applause.
At another point, she praised former Speaker Nancy Pelosi as someone who “got s**t done” while calling House Speaker Mike Johnson “the biggest liar in Congress.”

She also called MAGA a “cult” and revealed that Trump dressed her down once for not voting for his bill.

“When you vote for someone, not only are you supporting them, but you’re holding them accountable. And if they can’t be truthful and hold [Trump] accountable to his campaign promises that affect the entire country, then they’re liars, and they’re hypocrites and they’re in a cult,” she said.
X had a lot to say:
I regret that she is voice people think we should be listening to. She has not been right in the past and very much a part of the MAGA cult. No thank you to a day late and a dollar short.

To the Democrats and independents here in the comments- if you spent the last ten years wondering why these people wouldn’t wake up- and yet continue to treat them like shit when they do- then the answer is you.. 🤷♀️

She’ll say anything to try and stay relevant. Her singing birthday gram business failed.

Too late to switch sides. You’ve helped cause irreparable damage to our country. Now that Trump has no use for you, you can’t change teams. You should just get a job and fade away.

She was respected among MAGA til she did a 180* because she was denied a Senate run that she’d be guranteed to lose.
