Former President Donald Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene had nothing but recrimination for the president in an interview with CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins.

Speaking on the 13 U.S. service members who have lost their lives from Trump’s invasion of Iran, Greene called out several members of the administration who have recanted their former opposition to deadly international wars.

“We voted for no more foreign wars, no more regime change, and we were told by many members in the administration throughout the campaign — JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard and others — that they believed that going to war with Iran would be a terrible idea," the former congresswoman said.

“It was something that [MAGA influencer] Charlie Kirk himself had said over and over again and President Trump — I voted for him three times, fought for him to become president, and I still want him to be successful — but he told Americans for over ten years and even longer that that he thought foreign wars and regime change was really a bad direction for America to go in, and we trusted and believed him that we wouldn't be doing this,” Greene added. “This was an unprovoked war, and Israel pulled us into it, pulled America into it. And so those are 13 lives that should not have been lost.”

Greene went on to blast the administration for the deaths of nearly 170 people — mostly girls — in the bombing of an Iranian school, which the administration initially tried to pin on Iran.

“The little girl's school is such an outrage. It's horrific,” Greene told Collins. “And Americans don't want to think of our military as being responsible of killing little children. This is absolutely something that Americans should not tolerate and we are owed answers. They keep saying that they're investigating, but it is such a serious situation.”

“I drove by an elementary school today and there were children out on the playground swinging on the swings and playing on the playground. And I thought to myself, I'm so thankful that our, our children are safe, but I can't imagine living somewhere where school children or people's children have been … Caitlin, we did not vote for this.”
