Why is Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly breaking with MAGA leadership on the shutdown?
here we go we were talking about a fascinating interview I guess that just happened with Marjorie Taylor Greene on CNN and what went down yeah this is great I'm glad I get to break this news to you so basically what was happening is Marjorie Taylor Greene was on with Wolf Blitzer I'm not sure the audio echoing a little bit but So hopefully you can hear me.
Yeah, we're great.
She said she blames Republicans, Republican leadership, for the shutdown. She said Leader Thune, Speaker Mike Johnson, they're to blame. Republicans own all the branches of government right now. They're the ones to blame. And then she said the ACA subsidies need to be renewed. So she went hard, and she basically laid it out and broke with the party.
Well, the interesting thing for me, I heard her say this. I think I heard her say that last night, Bob. where she said that her party has no solutions. And it's interesting that Marjorie Taylor Greene is saying this because, remember, she also said that she wanted the Epstein files released. My question was, is Marjorie Taylor Greene becoming woke, or is she on some new meds that has her living life in reality? Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, just woke MTG, man. Yeah, but I don't know. Did you see Eric Swalwell's tweet the other day? Eric Swalwell said that it was basically things were coming to an end, he said, that Republicans have come to the end of their rope with Donald Trump, and that we're going to start to see people breaking from Trump on these issues, especially the shutdown, and, well, mainly on Jeffrey Epstein.
Yeah, no, I think that's what we're seeing. Like, I think we've been talking about this for a while. We saw Candace Owens. She started to break with Trump. We've seen other figures increasingly drawing the line. And then now here with Marjorie Taylor Greene, she also mentioned the Epstein files in the interview, too. So she was on CNN. She said, like, regardless of whether or not Speaker Johnson seats, you know, swears are in the new representative that won it's going to happen sooner or later and that mike johnson needs to get that thing moving she was talking about the fc file she said yeah right here i have the quote she was talking about how the house should be in session and there's a new democrat that's been elected that deserves to be sworn in that was marjorie taylor green on cnn it's what is up what do you think is up with that
I don't know. I think maybe Swalwell's right. I think people are recognizing that Trump only has three more years left in power. And there has to be a post-Trump Republican Party that has to become palatable and winnable without Donald at the top. And I think maybe Marjorie's trying to position herself for a post-Trump GOP.
Eric Falwell, I think it was the day before yesterday, tweeted, it's coming to an end, guys. I've spoken to a lot of House Republicans this week and they've confided that Trump's movement support is fading. As one told me, this Epstein bomb is about to drop and no one, it should be no one, no one wants to defend a pedo protector. It's just a matter of time. And I think Eric Falwell stands behind the tweet. It has not been taken down. And so I wonder if she's speaking to if Marjorie Taylor Greene is speaking to Eric Swalwell or, you know.
I mean, if Eric thought he could tweet that out, if she thinks she can go out here, not on Fox News, she went on CNN of all places to talk about this. I think there's other Republicans that feel this way that just aren't voicing it right now. And I think we could be seeing a shift. Like, I think, you know, the polls we've all been talking about, Trump's waning of rule ratings, his weakening political standing. People in the House are going to have to deal with that next year. Like, I think this is the midterms talking. That's what I really think it is. I think it's the midterms talking.
You said positioning, people positioning themselves for that.
Yeah.
What examples show MTG distancing herself from Trump-era allies and talking to mainstream outlets?
I think that Trump's unpopularity is something that... Sorry about that. Sorry, people. Go ahead.
