Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I believed in crashing the system and I thought Trump was the vehicle—boy, was I wrong"​



MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: That's actually a misconception. Literally my entire time in Congress, I was aligned with Thomas Massie, and our voting records are very similar. As a matter of fact, he was one of my best allies and best friends the entire time I served there, and we worked together on many issues. That was before Trump was elected in 2024.

So I stood sort of in both camps, I would say. I never was a big Republican Party person. As a matter of fact, I never was elected before I won in 2020 for Congress. I never even went to my county GOP meetings. I didn't know anybody. I was actually angry at Republicans when I ran for Congress, and I attacked them constantly. And I didn't align with Democrats at all, so I attacked them as well.

I would say, if I describe myself best, I was very naive to the entire political process because I had no experience in it. But I was angry. I was just completely angry at the government, just totally outraged by the government.
 

Supreme Court rejects Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship​


The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected President Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship, ruling that he does not have the power to unilaterally overturn the long-standing constitutional principle that guarantees citizenship to just about all children born in the United States.

The 6-3 decision was the last one issued on the final day of the court's term. Three conservatives — Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh — joined liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson in denying Trump's proposed limits.

Five of the justices in the majority held that the 14th Amendment, adopted after the Civil War, is settled law.

"Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights — to freely participate in our political community," Roberts wrote in the 26-page majority opinion. "The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to 'every free-born person in this land.' … We keep that promise today."

Marjorie Taylor Greene, well, I don't care how bad she talks about the Orange One, and the Republican Party, I still don't trust her. :mad:
