On Saturday, June 21, the United States' involvement in the Iran/Israel conflict escalated when the U.S. launched military strikes against Iran that, U.S. President Donald Trump says, are designed to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Trump's decision is a source of heated debate among his far-right supporters: While Fox News' Mark Levin wants the U.S. to attack Iran as aggressively as possible, MAGA Republicans ranging from "War Room" host Steve Bannon to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) remain adamantly anti-interventionist with the Iran/Israel conflict.

Greene is among Trump's most aggressive cheerleaders in Congress. But in a lengthy Sunday, June 22 post on X, formerly Twitter, the ultra-MAGA congresswoman laid out some reasons why she considers "bombing Iran" inconsistent with Trump's America First agenda and more characteristic of "neocon warmongers."

"I'm 51 years old. I’m GenX," Greene tweeted. "I've watched our country go to war in foreign lands for foreign causes on behalf of foreign interests for as long as I can remember. I was in 10th grade when Desert Storm started and my father before me was sent to Vietnam, another senseless foreign war. America is $37 TRILLION in debt and all of these foreign wars have cost Americans TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS of dollars that never benefited any American."

Greene continued, "American troops have been killed and forever torn apart physically and mentally for regime change, foreign wars, and for military industrial base profits. I'm sick of it."

The Georgia congresswoman stressed that while she agrees with Trump on many things, "bombing Iran" is not one of them.

"I can also support President Trump and his great administration on many of the great things they are doing while disagreeing on bombing Iran and getting involved in a hot war that Israel started," Greene tweeted. "That's not disloyalty. Critical thinking and having my own opinions is the most American thing ever. Because contrary to what brainwashed Democrat boomers say, Trump is not a king, MAGA is not a cult, and President Trump has surrounded himself with people who once disagreed with him and even ran against him for President."

Greene added, "Also the same Democrats in Congress that are all of sudden clutching their pearls about Trump bombing Iran FULLY SUPPORTED AND VOTED TO FUND Dementia ridden Biden's proxy war against Russia in Ukraine and stood by Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan."
