Greene said she’s “not a fan” of Obamacare but complained that her “own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE” if Congress ignores the issue.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., broke with her party Monday evening by calling for action on expiring Obamacare subsidies to avoid premium hikes, adding a prominent MAGA voice to the cause led by Democrats.
In a long post on X, Greene, the far-right MAGA firebrand, made it clear she was not in Congress when the 2010 law passed.
“Let’s just say as nicely as possible, I’m not a fan,” she wrote. “But I’m going to go against everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire this year my own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE, along with all the wonderful families and hard-working people in my district.”
Republican: THIS SHIT AFFECTS ME PERSONALLY SO NOW I GIVE A SHIT!
She sees the end of the bullshit tunnel up ahead and wants to make an early exit.
You ever wonder if this is a plan to make her seem moderate, so that she can run in 28…
It’s almost as if every policy position she’s ever held was based on nothing but delusion and imaginary grievances.
I think she caught whatever Fetterman had.
Bet her mama is on it
She’s somehow well on her way to being one of the most reasonable republicans in congress and I never saw it coming
Don’t ride the scorpion’s back just because it’s headed the same direction as you.
It does makes sense though, Greene has principals even if they are deranged. This means that as soon as the Republicans became opposed to her she basically defaulted to being against them.
Republicans: when MGT is making more sense than the majority of you, you know you done fucked up.
She’s a very clever politician. She acted all wild, crazy super-MAGA when Trump’s popularity was waxing and she needed to build popularity in her very red home state. Now she’s got her seat more-or-less locked in and she is preparing for a run for president, so the insanity is toned down quite a bit and she is expressing views that have quite a bit of national popularity.
What the fuck is up with this broken clock?!?
I think part of it is she isn’t fully part of the GOP establishment. So when her opinion is different than them, she actually has the balls to vote her belief not party lines.
I expect more of this.
The party identity is based on opposition. Like a petulant child. It’s connected to the conspiratorial thinking: “THEY are tricking us!”
Since there is no science and Truth is a personal, felt revelation, they cannot maintain a unified picture of the world
Yeah, maybe nobody is sure what she believes, but she does believe it and that’s almost refreshing.
She’s a rabid dog pointed a useful direction for once. Let her go to work, just don’t turn your back on her.
Heartbreaking: Worst person you know just made a great point.
The wool is slowly lifting from her eyes.
No it isn’t. This is typical for the conservative mindset, they are against rights and helping others until an issue touches them or someone close to them personally, they they agree with liberals, but just on that one thing.
If she had a niece or nephew come out as trans she’d suddenly be announcing “hey maybe we don’t have this banning trans people from school sports thing right” because it’s no longer someone else’s problem.
She’s planning to run for President. And she is much more in touch with popular sentiment than Trump, who doesn’t care about elections anymore.
Is she up for election soon? I think she’s just baiting naive voters.
Upside down world
Have the day you voted for.
Did I……did I just agree with MTG?
[runs to check the current temp in hell]
No, that’s alright. You see, it’s affecting her now, so now she cares. It’s always the same.
She’s also been a firm advocate for Epstein’s victims and has repeatedly called for releasing the Epstein files.
She believes the worst conpiracy theories and she’s a terrible bigot, but the difference between her and her peers is that she actually believes the things she says she believes. She’s not just grifting for profit. She ran on a platform of being against child sexual abuse, and she’s still against child sexual abuse.
This is somewhat less notable, as it’s the usual Republican “but this affects ME now”, but she is actually different from the other Republicans in Congress because she has principles that she sticks to. Many of them are horrible principles, but they’re principles nonetheless.
