'Very frustrating': Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump selling out to 'biggest donors'
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) complained that President Donald Trump was serving his "biggest donors" instead of listening to "America First" supporters like herself.
During a Monday interview on Real America's Voice, host Eric Bolling asked Greene why she had recently been critical of the Republican Party.
"We're seeing Washington, D.C. and the Republican Party being completely tone deaf," the lawmaker explained. "And I'm just asking, I'm like, wait a minute, what is happening to the GOP?"
"As the leader of the Republican Party, doesn't the buck stop with Donald Trump?" Bolling asked.
"I was one of the loudest people that supported him during the campaign, but it's all the others that came on after he won the general election," Greene opined. "And so I don't think the president is listening to the right people who are his true supporters, people like myself and others. It seems to be everyone else has, you know, establishment Washington, establishment Republicans. The people that the base is absolutely sick of are the ones that have the president's ear. And I find that very frustrating."
"But I think what is bothering so many people is to see the 'America First' president and the party that's supposed to be America first, making it what seems to be a departure from being actually America first," she added. "And I love the president. I support him, but it's the right thing to do to call this out when I see it and when I'm hearing it from my constituents and hearing it every single day from people all across the country."
Bolling wondered if Trump had changed direction because he wanted the party to represent "a bigger tent."
"I think it's who he's talking to constantly day in and day out," Greene said. "And those are the people, I think, that we're the biggest donors in the 2024 campaign. We're definitely seeing the tech industry get their way. We're seeing the AI industry get their way. And we're seeing the crypto industry get their way."
"Another thing is, there's a big difference in the uber-millionaire and billionaire class of people, which is a much smaller percentage of Americans, that may be constantly talking to the president. And there's a big difference in how they think versus how someone like me and you, Eric, how we think."
