Republicans are moaning about Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s recent breaks from her own party, accusing her positions of more closely resembling those of former Democratic President Joe Biden than GOP President Donald Trump.

In recent months, the Georgia Republican has split from her party on several major issues, including the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, the war in Gaza and healthcare subsidies that have become the sticking point of the government shutdown. Greene insisted to The Hill that it’s “ridiculous” to suggest that her stances have isolated her from the rest of her party. “I am 100 percent the same person today as I was when I ran for Congress,” she said.

The Georgia firebrand repeatedly introduced articles of impeachment against Biden and has dubbed Trump her “favorite president.” However, some Republicans fumed that her recent positions suggest she now more closely aligns with Biden than Trump.

“Whether it’s Gaza, whether it’s Epstein, or whether it’s now the [Affordable Care Act] credits, she’s been 180 degrees opposite of Trump,” one House Republican told the outlet. “In fact, she’s been more Biden than she has been Trump.”

1. She's up to something.

Greene a dishonest, manipulative demagogue.

2. I suspect that she's preparing for a post-Trump political career

I would not be surprised if she thinks that a lot of Trumpie Republicans are likely to either be ousted next year or after Donald John dies of natural causes or becomes mentally incapacitated. She wants to be still sitting pretty after the undertow takes some Republicans down with Orange Julius.

3. Many on X are talking about her as a VP pick

Over 55% of young Republicans are anti-genocide so a smart move for any politician now is to be anti-genocide.

4. The attention-hungry crazy lady who thinks she's Napoleon is helpfully warning us

that Donald Trump isn't actually Jesus H Christ.

Y'know, if we give enough monkeys typewriters and enough paper, they're bound to tell us all about jewish space lasers
