Increasingly critical of her own party, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) issued her "bluntest warning yet" Monday in which she predcits the Republicans will "lose the House" if they fail to address the cost of living before next year's midterm elections, Mediaite reports.
Greene predicted a midterms meltdown in an interview with Semafor, saying that rising prices will hand the House over to the Democrats next year.
“I can’t see into the future, but I see Republicans losing the House if Americans are continuing to go paycheck-to-paycheck,” she said.
The Trump ally turned GOP critic says that Americans' rising credit card debt is proof of her party's inaction.
"They’ll definitely be going into the midterms looking through the lens of their bank account," she said.
Greene also pointed to House Republicans' failure to pass appropriation bills and refusal to negotiate health care reforms without tying them to government funding battles as the source of her ire.
"“That is something I’m really disgusted with,” she said, adding that her party's strategy of repeatedly voting on the short-term spending bill was "a complete failure," and one she will always "completely disagree with."
The Georgia Republican has raised eyebrows over her vocal criticism of her own party, and she seems to be doubling down on it.
“It’s an America Last strategy, and I don’t know whose strategy that is, but I don’t think it’s a good one," she says.“Everyone keeps saying I’ve changed, and I’m saying, ‘No, I haven’t changed,’ I’m staying focused on America First, and I’m urging my party to get back to America First," she says.
Greene says this is how she got elected in the first place, reminding that “I actually ran for Congress in 2020 angry with Republicans in Congress — which is pretty much where I’m at now again,” she said, adding at another point, “I’m mad about a lot of things and I’m not going to stop talking.”
