BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene is back on the MAGA train, urgently praising former President Donald Trump in a new video posted on X. Just days after publicly criticizing him, the Georgia lawmaker expressed her gratitude for Trump’s recent law enforcement initiatives aimed at addressing crime in Washington D.C.
In a video filmed near the iconic Washington Monument on July 30, 2023, Greene stated, “I just want to give a personal thanks to President Trump for making Washington D.C. safe again.” She emphasized Trump’s influence on local law enforcement, claiming he is “helping the police here in Washington clean up the streets.” Greene’s remarks come amid a backdrop of escalating tensions within the Republican Party and her own wavering support for Trump.
The urgency of Greene’s message is palpable, especially as she seeks to reaffirm her allegiance to Trump after a series of public disagreements. Earlier this month, she expressed discontent over Trump’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and voiced concerns about his policies regarding tariffs on India and military support for Ukraine.
On Monday morning, Greene doubled down on her support by sharing Trump’s Truth Social post regarding mail-in voting, declaring her strong endorsement of his stance. This follows her recent fallout with fellow MAGA figure, Laura Loomer, who has publicly attacked Greene, calling her a “loud mouthed b—” and accusing her of misusing campaign funds.
Greene’s swift reversal to flattery for Trump raises questions about her political security within the MAGA movement. With federal troops deployed in D.C. primarily focusing on tourist areas like the National Mall and clearing homeless encampments, Greene positioned herself as a symbol of safety, stating, “If MTG can walk safely in Washington D.C., that means you can too.”
Despite Greene’s claims of safety in D.C., the city’s crime rate reached a 30-year low last year, highlighting a disconnect between her narrative and the reality on the ground. This recent pivot towards Trump may be a strategic move to secure her standing in a party increasingly scrutinizing loyalty.
As Greene navigates these turbulent waters, her recent statements could significantly influence her political future. Observers are watching closely to see if this renewed support for Trump will stabilize her position or if her conflicts within the MAGA sphere will continue to escalate.
What to watch for: Greene’s ongoing relationship with Trump and her public interactions with other MAGA figures will be critical in the coming weeks. Her next steps could either solidify her influence or further alienate her from the party’s base. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
