UPDATE: Marjorie Taylor Greene has publicly re-aligned herself with former President Donald Trump, just weeks after questioning his leadership. In a video posted on X on Sunday, Greene expressed her gratitude for Trump’s recent law enforcement initiatives in Washington D.C., framing them as vital for combating crime in the capital.
“I just want to give a personal thanks to President Trump for making Washington D.C. safe again,” Greene stated, highlighting efforts to “help the police here in Washington clean up the streets.” Her comments come amid growing concerns regarding her standing within the MAGA movement, following a series of public disagreements with Trump on critical issues.
On Monday morning, Greene amplified her support by sharing Trump’s post on Truth Social, where he called for an end to mail-in voting, stating she “strongly supports” the initiative. This follows her earlier criticisms of Trump regarding his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, where she declared she was “not willing to accept” his administration’s actions.
While Greene’s praise may seem like a strategic move to solidify her political future, the federal troops deployed in Washington D.C. have focused primarily on clearing homeless encampments and patrolling tourist areas like the National Mall, rather than addressing violent crime, which recently reached a 30-year low.
In her video, Greene positioned herself in front of the Washington Monument, which she mistakenly referred to as the “Washington Memorial.” “Let me tell you something,” she said, emphasizing her newfound sense of safety. “If MTG can walk safely in Washington D.C., that means you can too… I just want to say again, thank you President Trump.”
Greene’s shift comes after a tumultuous month where her loyalty to Trump was questioned. She previously clashed with him over tariffs on India and military support for Ukraine, stating, “I don’t know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I’m kind of not relating to the Republican Party as much anymore.”
The political drama escalated with Greene’s feud with far-right influencer Laura Loomer. This bitter conflict ignited when Greene criticized Loomer for questioning a Medal of Honor recipient’s political views. Loomer retaliated by attacking Greene’s character and alleging financial misconduct involving campaign funds.
As Greene attempts to re-establish her connection with Trump and the MAGA base, it remains to be seen whether her latest endorsement will secure her position amid the increasing scrutiny and rivalries within the party.
What’s Next: Political analysts will closely monitor Greene’s moves in the coming weeks as she navigates her relationship with Trump and the implications of her recent statements. With her future in the MAGA movement hanging in the balance, Greene’s next steps could reshape her political landscape.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as Greene’s actions may have significant ramifications for her career and the broader Republican Party.
