One thing worth reiterating: Marjorie Taylor Greene hasn't suddenly changed her ideology or "pivoted" away from her conservative populism. She's just noting ways that Trump + Republicans haven't lived up to her views. https://t.co/PEjhwZaUGP

Since Trump returned to office, there’ve been several moments where some on the right say he hasn't delivered on domestic priorities that "Make America Great Again" as promised. For almost every instance, MTG has been there to articulate the disconnect. https://t.co/PEjhwZbswn

Here's Greene's response: https://t.co/w7NBzJGleP
