Marjorie Taylor Green, R-Ga., continued to break ranks in the Republican Party on Thursday, saying she “blames” the GOP’s congressional leadership for the government shutdown, accusing it of “ignoring” the rising costs of health insurance and refusing to hold a vote on releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
