Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Maga favourite defying her own party
The Guardian
|October 20, 2025
For years, Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of Donald Trump’s most loyal foot soldiers. She trafficked in racist statements, indicated support for executing Democrats and even floated conspiracy theories about Jewish space lasers.
Yet in recent months the Georgia congresswoman has surprised friend and foe alike. On issues ranging from healthcare to Gaza to the Jeffrey Epstein files, she has broken ranks with Republicans and won unlikely fans among Democrats. She has stopped short of directly criticising Trump himself, but her willingness to dissent from the party line has stirred speculation about her motives.
Greene, 51, long revelled in her role as a rightwing provocateur. She led prison visits to rioters after the Capitol insurrection, called for Joe Biden's impeachment and heckled him during his State of the Union address.
But since Trump’s return to office, she has increasingly gone rogue.
