Marjorie Taylor Greene says ‘MAGA was all a lie’ as she slams Trump

Marjorie Taylor Greene has said “MAGA was all a lie” as she slammed US President Donald Trump and his campaign.

Greene took aim at her former ally-turned-nemesis during an interview with radio personality Kim Iversen, claiming that the MAGA movement “isn’t really about America or the American people”. 

“I think people are realising it was all a lie. It was a big lie for the people. What MAGA is really serving in this administration, who they’re serving, is their big donors,” Greene said.

She continued: “Those are the people that get the special favours. They get the government contracts, they get the pardons, or somebody they love or one of their friends gets a pardon.”

Greene went on to slam Trump for focusing on foreign policy over issues in the US. 

“It’s the foreign countries. They are running the show here. It’s the major big corporations and what is best for the world. That’s really what MAGA is. We are seeing war on behalf of Israel, we are seeing the people in Gaza, innocent people in Gaza, hundreds of thousands of them completely murdered so that they can build some new real estate development. Money can pour in and everybody can get rich there in the new Gaza.”

She added: “And we’re seeing a whole plan play out, which is really a new world order. It’s a new way of doing business. And that’s the — it’s kind of like the ‘Scooby-Doo’ meme where … they pull the mask off the bad guy.” 

The former Republican congresswoman, whose resignation from the US Congress took effect on 5 January, used to be an outspoken Trump supporter and MAGA proponent, but fractures formed in the pair’s relationship over the release of the Epstein Files, which Trump promised to publish if he won the 2024 election and returned to the White House. 

Greene had wanted to identify some of the men who had abused women, but claimed her suggestion to invite Epstein’s female victims to the Oval Office was refused by Trump. It was reportedly the last conversation the two shared before their public falling out, during which Trump branded Greene a “ranting lunatic”.

The Epstein Files refer to the huge raft of documents amassed during criminal investigations into paedophile Jeffery Epstein’s sex trafficking of women and children, and include transcripts, records and items confiscated during raids of the financier’s luxury properties.

Greene said in her resignation letter, as reported by the BBC: “Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for.”
