U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has publicly responded to former President Donald Trump’s criticism, after he accused her of betraying their shared political movement.
Trump recently called Greene a “traitor” on social media. He stated she had abandoned their “America First” agenda by not supporting his current campaign sufficiently. The “America First” slogan refers to a policy focus on U.S. national interests over international alliances.
In her rebuttal, Greene shifted focus to Trump’s financial supporters. She highlighted his acceptance of donations from pro-Israel lobbying groups. Greene suggested this could influence U.S. foreign policy away from domestic priorities.
The exchange marks a rare public rift between two prominent figures aligned with the populist wing of the Republican Party. It underscores ongoing debates within the party regarding foreign policy and donor influence.
