'Trying to take me out': Marjorie Taylor Greene makes wild claims about Pentagon
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) suggested the Pentagon and deep state were trying to take her out after she pushed for an audit of military spending on Ukraine.
During a Wednesday interview on the War Room podcast, Greene told host Steve Bannon that the U.S. should not be involved in Ukraine's defense.
"And so I've been opposed to government funding of the Ukraine war," she said. "I think we've got a war in our own country that we need to be fighting, and I think that's the most important one."
"The Foreign Affairs Committee in 2023 passed my amendment to do an audit of U.S. funding to Ukraine, and I never got that spreadsheet, I never received that audit in detail, but I did get a little chat with the Government Accountability Office on government, on our funding," she noted.
"They're not going to give you an audit," Bannon insisted. "They don't care about the MAGA movement... You're the tip of the spear, and they're always trying to take you out, ma'am."
"Of course they're always trying to take me out," Greene agreed. "They spread lies about me constantly, Steve... The war that we have to fight is for our elections."
"And we don't have control of our elections right now," she added. "And, you know, you can call me conspiracy theorist or whatever you want to call me, but I really think our elections are a major problem in this country."
