This is What Supposedly Prompted MTG's Transformation

[ad_1] The New York Instances has a narrative out on the transformation of Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) from ardent Trump supporter right into a Trump critic.

Matt Vespa at our sister web site Townhall notes this specific half:

It additionally, Greene stated, clarified one thing about herself. Over the previous 5 years, as Trump’s most infamous acolyte in Congress, she had adopted his unrepentant pugilism as her personal. “Our aspect has been educated by Donald Trump to by no means apologize and to by no means admit while you’re mistaken,” she informed me in her Capitol Hill workplace one afternoon in early December. “You simply preserve pummeling your enemies, it doesn't matter what. And as a Christian, I don’t imagine in doing that. I agree with Erika Kirk, who did the toughest factor potential and stated it out loud.”

Greene’s response put her in a definite minority amongst influential conservative figures. Nearly instantly after Kirk was declared useless, a lot of her comrades on the correct — the billionaire Elon Musk, the Fox Information host Jesse Watters, the podcaster Steve Bannon — labeled the killing an act of conflict by the left and exhorted their viewers to suppose in related phrases.

However Greene — who for years took a again seat to nobody when it got here to reactionary rhetoric, going to this point, earlier than she was in workplace, as to accuse Democrats, together with Speaker Nancy Pelosi, of treasonous conduct and including that treason was punishable by imprisonment or demise — realized that she had out of the blue misplaced all urge for food for vengeance. She later informed a good friend, who confirmed the change: “After Charlie died, I noticed that I’m a part of this poisonous tradition. I actually began my religion. I needed to be extra like Christ.”

Now, I feel that if anybody needs to be extra like Christ, that is a superb factor. And Republicans, in fact, can have various ideas on insurance policies.

However I see a bit of little bit of a cognitive dissonance there, if that is true (and it is a NY Instances story, so we all the time must have that proviso in there), after we take into account photos like this of her being cozy with Code Pink.

— Medea Benjamin (@medeabenjamin) December 10, 2025 If Code Pink is praising you, keep in mind that's not a superb factor. They have been those who bought near President Donald Trump in September in an inexcusable breach of safety and chanted, "Trump is the Hitler of our time." They're far left; there may be nothing MAGA about them.

Then there was this take about her go to with the women of The View.

“These ladies have been the identical sort of girls which have all the time been my pals. School-educated, prosperous suburban ladies — that’s who I'm. So I couldn’t wait to speak to those girls. I used to be so uninterested in the poisonous politics.”

Nicely, that is definitely a take.

It is also a humorous factor that the liberal media is now embracing her transformation simply because she criticized Trump, once they beforehand attacked her and made enjoyable of her.

MTG stood for every part they hated. However as quickly as she says one thing unfavourable about Trump, they will publish it instantly. pic.twitter.com/HvC4HmSCQo

— MRC NewsBusters (@newsbusters) December 30, 2025 That is all they care about — being anti-Trump. The liberal media did the identical factor with former Republican Wyoming consultant Liz Cheney, once they beforehand painted the Cheneys as evil.

It is a terrific window, as soon as once more, into their main focus.
