Marjorie Taylor Greene Expresses Frustration with the Republican Party

Over the last few weeks, Greene has broken with her party and President Donald Trump on several matters she cares deeply about, including condemning Israel's war in Gaza, opposing Trump's recent artificial intelligence executive order, and advocating for the administration to release the Epstein Files. Greene feels that the Republican Party has given up on issues that she resonates with, such as stopping foreign aid and driving down inflation.
