Greene Rejects Blanket Deportations, Drawing MAGA Backlash and GOP Jitters

The break spotlights GOP vulnerability given her sway in a razor-thin House majority.

Overview

  • On The Tim Dillon Show, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said the U.S. needs a smarter plan than rounding up and deporting everyone, citing industries’ reliance on undocumented labor and calling for an off‑ramp.
  • Her comments prompted harsh criticism from MAGA figures, with Laura Loomer labeling her a RINO and online critics alleging self‑interest because Greene co‑owns the Georgia construction firm Taylor Commercial.
  • Greene says she still supports President Donald Trump but insists she is not a blind slave to him and will act independently as a member of Congress.
  • NBC News reporting says Trump has asked senior Republicans, “What’s going on with Marjorie?”, while Speaker Mike Johnson publicly invited her to join committee discussions on policy.
  • Time and other analyses note that Greene’s recent departures from party orthodoxy could jeopardize the GOP’s legislative plans given the House’s narrow Republican margin.
