Marjorie Taylor Greene Addresses Recent Split With The GOP: 'I Blame My Own Party'

The Georgia Republican criticized Republican leadership on Friday but maintained that she remains loyal to President Donald Trump.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Friday addressed her beef with the Republican Party on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” maintaining throughout that she remains loyal to President Donald Trump — but is frustrated with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.)
Greene has publicly criticized her party’s handling of the ongoing government shutdown, as health insurance premiums for the Affordable Care Act are soon set to double. She has also slammed Johnson on social media for failing to suggest a single policy to mitigate the impact.
“A lot of the things I say are against my own party, but they’re mainly my frustrations in Congress,” Greene told Maher. “I believe that Congress should be solving a lot of these problems. However, Congress is not solving these problems.”
“You know, looking at Obamacare, it was passed in 2010, it went into place in 2014 and premiums have skyrocketed ever since,” she continued. “It was good for some that couldn’t afford health insurance or get health insurance.”
Greene then said the Affordable Care Act has “crushed” the middle class. When asked to clarify, Greene shared an anecdotal example about her family’s monthly $800 health insurance policy increasing to more than $2,400 per month.
