Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a staunch supporter of Trump, rebutted claims that her skepticism toward involving the U.S. in Iran-Israel conflicts was “dishonest” to the president.
In a lengthy post on social media, Greene expressed her opposition to U.S. attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend but emphasized her continued support for Trump. She stated, “I can also support President Trump and his great administration on the many great things they are doing, whilst opposing bombing Iran and being involved in the hot war that Israel has begun.”
She continued, asserting that this stance wasn’t disloyal. “Critical thinking and having my own opinion is the most American thing ever,” she noted.
Greene also criticized Democrats for their suggestions otherwise, claiming, “Contrary to what the brain-washed Democrat Boomer says, Trump is not the king, Maga is not a cult, and President Trump is surrounded by people who once opposed him and even opposed him for the sake of the president.”
She called out Democrats as “hypocrites,” highlighting their objections to Trump’s military actions against Iran, while they had previously supported former President Biden’s military involvement in Ukraine and the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
She pointed out, “The same Democrats in Congress are also the same Democrats in Congress who are completely supportive of Trump bombing Iran, and who suddenly holds a hold on about voting to fund Biden’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine and fund dementia that was standing by Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan,” concluding with, “The hypocrites are everything.”
This discussion follows what Trump deemed “an epic military success,” as the U.S. military targeted three Iranian nuclear sites. Reports indicated that six “Bunkerbuster” bombs were dropped on Fordow, along with over 20 Tomahawk missiles at the other locations.
Trump warned of possible Iranian retaliation and emphasized the need for peace efforts to avoid further strikes. The bombing has positioned the U.S. as a target for retaliation and heightened involvement in the ongoing conflict that Israel initiated against Iran in June.
Before the strike occurred, there was media focus on internal conflicts within the GOP, especially between pro-Israel hawks and those aligned with the “America First” agenda. Both factions had mixed feelings about military intervention in Iran.
On Sunday, Trump dismissed any worries about GOP disunity, stating, “Great unity in the Republican Party, perhaps a unity we’ve never seen before.”
