Speaker 1 (00:00):
Marjorie Taylor Green over the weekend announced her resignation from Congress,
effective January fifth, twenty twenty six. It was a shocking announcement,
sending shockwaves across the MAGA world, across the political landscape,
really across America. Here was one of President Trump's staunchest,
(00:24):
most loyal supporters and allies, who, after just five years
in Congress, has decided to throw in the towel. And
not because the attacks came from the radical left, No, no, no, no,
because she was vilified, really villainized by Trump his words,
(00:46):
as a traitor, as a lunatic, as wacky. And when
she announced her resignation, Trump went to truth Social and said,
this is a great day for America. He practically did
danced on MTG's political grave. And I fear that the
President now may have made a very big mistake because
(01:08):
whatever you think about Marjorie Taylor Green, and I'm not
saying she's without blame, I'm not saying she's without flaws,
because she does have flaws and she bears some blame
in the feud between her and Trump. But in the end,
this was a warrior for MAGA. That's what she was.
(01:30):
She was one of his top allies, one of his
staunch supporters. When he was impeached the second time, she
rushed to the barricades after January sixth, when the Republican
establishment completely abandoned him, she stood by him shoulder to shoulder.
(01:50):
During the law Fair, she literally went to New York
City in front of the courthouse and defended Trump in
front of the entire media and in front of the
entire world. And on issue after issue after issue, she
sponsored bill after bill to secure the borders, to hold
(02:11):
Big Pharma accountable for the mask mandates and the vaccine mandates,
which she staunchly opposed. She opposed the war in Israel.
She opposed the war in Ukraine. She supported funding or
supporting any war outside of the United States. As she
(02:32):
put it, she was America first and America only. And
even more than that, she sponsored a bill to make
English the official language. She sponsored a bill to not
provide h one v visas to millions of foreigners taking
jobs away from Americans. She opposed Trump on his push
(02:54):
to allow six hundred thousand Chinese college students, most them
with ties to the Chinese Communist Party, to get student
visas with a green card stamp to their visas pour
into our country. She opposed US giving an unconditional security
guarantee to Saudi Arabia, to Katar, potentially to Ukraine. In
(03:19):
other words, she was America First. She opposed big tech censorship.
She stood up for January six ers who were unfairly
persecuted and many of them unfairly tortured and sent to
prison on false, trumped up charges. In other words, if
I'm in a foxhole as an America First Conservative, I
(03:44):
would want somebody like Marjorie Taylor Green right beside me.
And yet in the end, she is the one that
was driven out of the party. She is the one
that Trump called the trader. She is the one now
that Trump urged be purged the party in a bruising
primary fight next year. And as Marjorie Taylor Green said
(04:05):
in her resignation video, I'm done. I'm going to fight
a war within MAGA and even if I win, likely
face a Democratic blue wave in November, so we'll be
in the minority, and then Democrats will impeach and impeach
and impeach, and I will have to defend the man
(04:25):
who literally called me a lunatic and a trader. I'm
not a battered wife, and I'm not going to play
that game. Trump alienated one of his staunchest supporters, and
now who will lead MAGA in Congress. I can't think
of a single person outside of MTG, and so now
(04:49):
MAGA has lost a very important voice. While at the
very same time as Trump was denigrating and celebrating Jeri
Taylor Green's resignation, he celebrated the Islamo communist Mamdanni in
the Oval Office, praising him saying that he's going to
(05:10):
be a great mayor, maybe, in Trump's words, the greatest
mayor in New York City has ever seen. So. On
the one hand, Trump is warmly embracing a Gehautist Marxist
who wants Trump impeached and literally called him a fascist
and a dictator right to his face, while on the
(05:32):
other hand, he is happy to see Marjorie Taylor Green
politically broken and now driven from Congress. Something is not
right here. Marjorie Taylor Green is a patriot, and I
believe that MAGA has now lost one of its important
(05:53):
voices going into the future. To the President, I know
you like to think your friends close and your enemies closer,
But let me give you another, saying you gotta dance
with the one who brung you. In other words, MAGA,
led by Marjorie Taylor Green, took you to the White House,
(06:18):
and now she's gone.
