Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a fierce supporter of President Trump, pushed back against claims that her opposition to U.S. involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict amounts to “disloyalty” to the president.
In a lengthy post on the social platform X, Greene railed against the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites this weekend but ended her comments with a clear message of support for the president.
“I can also support President Trump and his great administration on many of the great things they are doing while disagreeing on bombing Iran and getting involved in a hot war that Israel started,” Greene wrote on Sunday.
“That’s not disloyalty,” she continued. “Critical thinking and having my own opinions is the most American thing ever.”
Greene blasted Democrats for suggesting otherwise.
“Because contrary to what brainwashed Democrat boomers say, Trump is not a king, MAGA is not a cult, and President Trump has surrounded himself with people who once disagreed with him and even ran against him for President,” she added.
Greene also labeled Democrats “hypocrites” for expressing concern about Trump’s strikes on Iran while backing former President Biden’s support for Ukraine’s defensive war against Russia and the Afghanistan withdrawal.
“Also the same Democrats in Congress that are all of sudden clutching their pearls about Trump bombing Iran FULLY SUPPORTED AND VOTED TO FUND Dementia ridden Biden’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine and stood by Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan,” she wrote.
“Hypocrites is all they are,” she continued, “and they are just desperately trying to find solid ground to oppose Trump on because so far they’ve failed at grasping anything yet.”
The remarks come after U.S. forces struck three Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday evening, in what President Trump called a “spectacular military success.”
The bombs targeted three nuclear sites in Natanz, Esfahan and Fordow, located inside a mountain. Six “bunker buster” bombs were reportedly dropped on Fordow, while more than two dozen Tomahawk missiles were launched at the other two sites.
Trump has warned Iran against taking any retaliatory actions, warning of additional attacks if the country does not make meaningful efforts towards peace.
The bombings put the U.S. directly in Iran’s crosshairs for retaliation and made it an active participant in the Middle Eastern war, which Israel launched with airstrikes against Iran on June 13.
Ahead of the strikes, news outlets had focused on the so-called civil war in the GOP between the pro-Israel foreign policy hawks and supporters who identified more with the “America First” agenda. Members of both groups had been publicly lobbying the president in opposite directions as he considered taking military actions against Iran.
Trump on Sunday brushed off concerns about a fracturing in the GOP.
“Great unity in the Republican Party, perhaps unity like we have never seen before,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
