One of the original MAGA lawmakers has turned on Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) after he reversed course on reforming a foreign surveillance law that is known to snare U.S. citizens.
In a social media rant on Friday, former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) blasted Jordan after he led the charge for passing an extension of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) without reforms.
"Jim Jordan, who has fought FOR warrants for FISA for years, ironically led the debate AGAINST warrants and urged a YES vote for a clean extension WITHOUT warrants, which is what Trump is demanding even after FISA was used against him by the Democrats to spy on him and his campaign," Greene complained. "Trump literally says give up your rights and just pass it and Jordan won't go against Trump even though he wants warrant requirements."
Jordan has repeatedly called for FISA to be eliminated, saying it needed "major changes" if reauthorized.
The one-time Georgia lawmaker Greene also called out Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin (R-MD) after he gave "compelling arguments as to why bipartisanship is needed in the House to make reforms to FISA 702 yet after doing so he voted YES to a clean 45 day extension of FISA 702 without warrant requirements, which makes no sense."
She praised Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) for forcing a recorded vote even though he was unable to block the legislation.
"To sum it up, Americans are literally losing our precious privacy and freedoms right now under Trump and Republicans, yet Democrats are no better and have made no major policy changes that caused them to lose in 2024. They are only winning because Trump and Republicans have betrayed the most important campaign promises," she noted. "After years of Trump and Republicans campaigning and demanding on Fox News that warrant requirements must be added to FISA, nothing changed."
"The GOP is done," Greene declared in a second post. "Behind the veil, they are one and the same as the Democrats."
"The betrayal on FISA, no ban on CBDC, not stopping AI in cars, protecting Glyphosate, the Iran war, and no domestic agenda lowering the cost of living and health insurance is all unforgivable."
