I'd think it would be obvious as a general principle, and I'm kind of surprised that AOC's position is more strict: Don't trust MTG on Gaza or Israel.
Should just be in general for sure. But i feel like people dont realize that MTG is just against israel becausing she is a raging racist who thinks the jewish cabal is running the world with space lasers.

What's obvious to me is that our president is a pedophile and a x34 felon. Saying something is obvious, doesn't take away the possibilities. We live in a post-truth society where the idiot who screams the loudest has the most listeners.

No shit, Sherlock. I'm not mad at AOC for stating the obvious. I'm mad that she has to in the first place cos Democrats are fucking stupid. Not as stupid as Republicans, but still stupid.
Their apologists just don't get it as well. Dems need to stop talking big and be big. Stop saying you're the resistance and not verbally flogging the people who vote Trump appointees or funding of ICE. They need to stop portraying themselves as a weak party against the Republicans.

The fact that she even had to say it to remind people is completely insane
She hasn't changed. She joined MAGA for greedy and selfish reason, and she left for the same reasons. She will knife anyone left of her in the back the moment it becomes benificial.
MTG says whatever MTG thinks will benefit MTG the most. End of story. She has no morality at all other than what will conveniently serve herself first.
Empty G is still full blown MAGA, she just recognizes that Trump is heading for the exit soon, and as in all Cults of Personality, there is no #2. She's angling to be the new MAGA leader, attracting those who have soured on Trump, as well as weak-willed Trad Dems, to give her an edge over those that only draw from MAGA.
Don't fall for it, she's still the same psychopath she's always been. Hating Trump is a low bar, she's going to have to do better than that.
I don't think it's all that nefarious.
I think she was a true believer up until she started forcefully being exposed to all the info and having good reason to pay attention to it.
And it's not hard to figure out that it's all bullshit.
Regardless, she's still the "Jewish Space Lasers" person, and I don't see why Democrats would be tempted to trust her on anything.
Greene just doesn't care about holding her job enough to carry Trump's bullshit once she recognizes it as bullshit. That's why she's going to be out of politics like every other Republican who wouldn't carry Trump's bullshit and therefore are no longer in office.
Nah, she's STILL a true believer, she's just separated MAGA from Trump, which is something very few politicians have done publicly, and very, very few voters have done.
It's going to backfire. If MAGAs can't vote for Trump, they're going to want to vote for whoever Trump endorses, and it ain't gonna be her.
It'll be easy to prove me wrong. I just don't think she's that ambitious. She's already got hers, right? I, personally, gave her thousands of dollars (sold index funds as she bought on insider knowledge), and she has healthcare for life.
Yeah, well said
Why is it that during every MTG interview from a mainstream journalist, wherein MTG criticizes Trump for doing something illegal, the journalist NEVER asks her (or any Republican congressman in a similar situation) the very basic fucking question…
So… as the party in power… what the fuck are you going to do about it?
On November 21, 2025, Greene announced that she would resign from her seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, with the resignation going into effect on January 5, 2026.[162][163] Greene said that Trump attacked her over her support for the anti-AIPAC organization Track AIPAC and the release of the Epstein files.[164] In mid-December, BBC News summarized the Trump–Greene feud as beginning with "her backing of a full release of the government files connected to the Jeffrey Epstein underage sex-trafficking case – long a source of conservative conspiracy theories. It broadened, however, into a critique of Trump's Middle East policy and accusations of his failure to address cost-of-living and healthcare concerns for low-income American voters."[165]
Resign, apparently. Which is great for her - now she can criticize Trump, but can't be expected to do anything about anything he's doing.
Why not? I don’t think we’ve ever been burned by unskeptically welcoming conservatives into the progressive movement.
(/s, obviously)
Ducking Fuh.
I agree! Yet Another based take from AOC!
I think MTG is the republican party hedging their bets
They know they are going to suffer the biggest landslide in history at the next election, they elected a conman and openly conned the country.
If MTG offers a softer more dem-lite vision then she may well take some of the floaters, Indies and undecideds. The GOP won't be able to campaign with trump politics so they will need to mirror the democrats to win a few votes.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is bat shit insane, or at least she doesn't mind acting like it. She is as untrustworthy as any lying reality denying MAGA idiot.
I wouldn’t trust MTG with a squirt gun at a swimming pool. Yes we all make mistakes and say and do dump things. Yes she has turned her back on Donny and maga but I do believe the minute he dies she will try to recapture the maga movement and mold it in her favor. And when this fails she will just grift another hatful movement. Yes she is still speaking out about Epstein which I will give her credit for but other than that stfu bitch. When we get our country back or what’s left of it you will still go to prison for all the crimes, lies, and pain you caused people. We will at least make sure your last meal is tasty Marge.
she's right; her last bill was a bill criminalising trans people and she broke with trump because trump wasn't racist enough.
Nobody should trust MTG
MTG is already promoting horse paste for hanta virus.
Can do!
Why would anyone trust MTG?
MTG is a truly odious individual with shit for brains and extremely offensive views and zero practical prescriptions for any of America’s problems. She should fuck off into private life.
You could put MTG at the deepest parts of the ocean and she still wouldn't be far enough for me to feel safe.
no one should trust that lady, got it.
edit - i obviously mean MTG smh

Republicans who acknowledge the war in Iran is wrong are moving to our position. We won't trust them to lead us, but if they have influence over their party, then I think it's beneficial to show that to their supporters and get them on the side against genocide, illegal wars, and war crimes. I believe Ro Khana realizes this is an issue that can unite the country in the same way the Epstein files has. If we are winning over the right and bringing them to sanity on a single, gigantic issue, that is a good thing.
