'Not entitled!' MAGA rift spreads as MTG's own colleague rips into her

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) unloaded on fellow GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) as he dismissed her stepped-up criticism of President Donald Trump’s military strikes on Iran – and accused her of distorting the facts in an on-air rebuke Monday night.

“Marjorie is certainly entitled to her own opinion. She's not entitled to her own set of facts,” Lawler said when asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins to respond to Greene’s accusation that Trump had pulled a “bait-and-switch” by ordering a series of strikes on Iran over the weekend.

“And the fact is that President Trump made very clear, both in his first term and again when running for reelection to this second term, that Iran could never have a nuclear weapon,” Lawler said. “And obviously they were at the closest point to having a nuclear weapon.”

Greene, a close MAGA-aligned Trump ally, had posted on social media that she spent “millions of my own money” campaigning for Trump, only the see the country “back into foreign wars, regime change, and world war 3.”

After Trump announced a ceasefire on Monday night, she thanked him for “pursuing peace.”

But Lawler, who sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, pushed back hard during his CNN appearance, calling Trump’s strikes “wholly justified.”

“And whether Marjorie Taylor Greene likes it or not, he fulfilled his commitment to the American people,” the New York Republican said.

“The president made the right decision and a constitutional one at that,” Lawler added.
