‘I Was Just So Naïve’: Inside Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Break With Trump seems to be the latest political theater playing out. The narrative, as it’s being presented, suggests a shift, a distancing from the former president. But is it genuine? The phrase “I was just so naive” feels like a carefully crafted soundbite, a way to explain away years of unwavering support for someone who, as many see it, represents the very antithesis of sensible governance. It’s a classic move, the sort of thing we see when someone wants to distance themselves from a sinking ship, or perhaps, reposition themselves for a different role in the political landscape.… Continue reading

Greene says she didn’t like ‘MAGA Mar-a-Lago sexualization,’ and the immediate reaction seems to be a collective eyebrow raise, if not outright skepticism. It’s difficult to reconcile this statement with the public persona she’s cultivated over the years, a persona deeply intertwined with the very movement and the man at the heart of the Mar-a-Lago scene. The comments highlight the inherent hypocrisy, given her past actions and rhetoric.
Greene’s history includes a very public embrace of Donald Trump, a man whose behavior has been widely criticized and documented. The criticisms span everything from allegations of sexual misconduct to his documented history of making comments about women.… Continue reading
