Former MAGA loyalist Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump policies are not America First

The affordability of health insurance caused Greene to side with the Democrats during the government shutdown in support of extending health care subsidies.

The Georgia representative said she never imagined she would be standing with Democrats on the Affordable Care Act subsidies.

Greene is also the only Republican member of Congress to publicly characterize the war in Gaza as a „genocide“ and she has also voted against the Antisemitism Awareness Act. She said she‘s voted to denounce antisemitism before.

„It becomes an exercise that they force on Congress, and I simply got tired of it,“ she said, later adding, „We don‘t have to get on our knees and say it over and over again.“

Greene is one of the few Republicans willing to take on Mr. Trump.
