MTG Trashes Trump’s Tariffs, Argues In Favor Of Illegal Alien Construction Workers
In a recent interview, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) intensified her criticism of former President Donald Trump, focusing on his tariff and immigration policies. She suggested that the president’s tariff policy was designed to benefit “crypto donors” and “AI donors” rather than everyday Americans.
Greene reported hearing complaints from major manufacturing companies about supply chain problems caused by the tariffs. She argued that the primary focus should be on alleviating financial stress for regular citizens, not on appeasing wealthy donors or critics who have recently shown support for Trump.
The congresswoman further accused Trump of abandoning his core supporters. She stated that the focus should be on the loyal voters who attended his rallies under difficult conditions, asserting that she believes these people are not being served by the current political direction.
On the issue of immigration, Greene offered a surprising perspective, suggesting a need for a pragmatic labor solution. She argued that a plan smarter than mass deportations is necessary, acknowledging the reality of the labor situation, particularly in industries like construction.
This recent criticism follows other comments where Greene appeared to align with Democrat talking points, such as blaming Republicans for a government shutdown. Her shifting stance has garnered notable, and often positive, attention from traditionally oppositional figures and media outlets.
Prominent Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senator Elizabeth Warren, have publicly agreed with some of her recent statements. This has led to fawning media coverage, with some left-leaning outlets labeling her a welcome voice of resistance.
Greene’s comments represent a significant and ongoing public break with the former president and have sparked discussions about her evolving political alignment.
