Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is plotting her revenge against the Republican Party that abandoned her after she clashed with Donald Trump — and her weapon could prove devastating to GOP electoral prospects.
Appearing on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" Tuesday, Greene revealed she is actively considering launching a third political party explicitly designed to poach disaffected Republicans and fracture the GOP coalition heading into the midterms.
"I think there's a group of us that if we decide to align, we could launch a true America-focused party that doesn't fall into the traps of Democrats or Republicans, but could align some serious players from the right and the left," Greene told Morgan.
"It's difficult to launch a third party, so the reality is this isn't something that gets off the ground in just a couple of campaign cycles. This is a movement that has to be developed and would take time to develop," she admitted before adding, "I'm not sure where that is right now, but I am in talks with people."
Greene's pivot away from the GOP accelerated dramatically after Trump publicly denounced her criticism of his administration and yanked his endorsement — prompting her to step down from her House seat in retaliation.
Greene has aligned herself with fellow MAGA defector and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who declared last month that he "would not support" the Republican Party in the upcoming midterm elections.
"Tucker is not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party," Greene recently wrote on social media, signaling a broader fracture within Trump's movement.
Greene characterized Carlson as a potential threat to both major parties. "Tucker Carlson would be a great threat to both parties because there's many Americans that are very independent that would support him, but there's also Republican voters and Democrat voters that would support him," she said. "So I would say he's a very credible threat."
A splintering of the Republican Party would be devastating, with the party already looking at losing control of the House in November, with the Senate now also appearing to be in play.
