WASHINGTON – As Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is in her last weeks in office, she got a goodbye from an unexpected guest.
Code Pink, a progressive anti-war advocate organization, stopped by Greene’s office to bid her farewell after the congresswoman last month announced she is going to resign from the U.S. House of Representatives in January.
"We visited Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene today to thank her for becoming such a strong anti war voice in congress and tell her we will miss her," Medea Benjamin, cofounder of the group, wrote in a Dec. 10 post on X.
Greene, an early ardent supporter of President Donald Trump and his Make America Great Again agenda, has been in an ongoing feud with the president and leader of the Republican Party over the release of files related to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The Georgia Republican has also broken with her party on another key issue: Israel’s war in Gaza.
Greene was the first Republican lawmaker to call the humanitarian crisis in Gaza a "genocide." She also criticized Trump for bombing Iran over the summer amid the country’s conflict with Israel.
"It’s the most truthful and easiest thing to say that Oct 7th in Israel was horrific and all hostages must be returned, but so is the genocide, humanitarian crisis, and starvation happening in Gaza," Greene wrote on X on July 28.
During an interview with 60 Minutes this month, Greene boasted about not taking donations from American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a pro-Israel lobbying group. She also criticized Trump as moving away from his MAGA and "America First" agenda.
From serving "Israel's interest, even attacking Iran" to serving "Big Pharma" by keeping COVID vaccines in place, Greene said the president has focused on appeasing the "establishment."
"For an America First president, the number one focus should have been domestic policy, and it wasn’t," Greene said during the interview. "Once we fix everything here, then, fine, we’ll talk to the rest of the world."
