Marjorie Taylor Greene rails against "fake" MAGA for urging US to act in Israel-Iran conflict
Washington DC - Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene recently criticized her fellow conservatives for defying the "America First" MAGA ethos by supporting the US getting involved in conflicts escalating in the Middle East.

On Sunday evening, the Georgia representative shared a lengthy X post in which she argued anyone "slobbering" for the US to intervene in the war that has recently broken out between Israel and Iran are MAGA "fakes," as "real" ones are "sick and tired of foreign wars."
"Real America First/MAGA wants world peace for all people and doesn't want our military killed and forever injured physically and mentally," Greene wrote.
Greene went on to say the US has already spent "TRILLIONS" in the Middle East, and that any country involved in the conflict "can be happy, successful, and rich if we all work together and seek peace and prosperity."
She also made a point to note that her opposition to helping Israel is "NOT antisemitic," but a stance that is "rational, sane, and loving toward all people."
In a follow-up post, Greene argued that "they've been telling us for decades" that Iran will have nuclear capabilities, but keep moving the goal post, insisting that "it's not antisemitic to ask these questions."
Her remarks come after Israel and Iran began firing missile strikes at each other last week. Earlier on Sunday, President Donald Trump said "it's possible" the US, a strong ally of Israel, may get involved in the conflict.
In an interview with The Atlantic over the weekend, Trump also declared that "America First" means whatever he wants it to, as he was the one to "develop" the concept.
He also argued that "those wonderful people who don't want to do anything" about the conflict are wrong, because "you can't have peace if Iran has a nuclear weapon."
Is Marjorie Taylor Greene unhappy with President Donald Trump and MAGA?
While Greene has made a name for herself as one of Trump's most outspoken allies in Congress, she has recently defied MAGA convention by publicly criticizing some of the president's policies.
Back in May, she shared a similar X post, in which she took aim at his administration for being "on the verge of going to war with Iran" and argued, "I don't think we should be bombing foreign countries on behalf of other foreign countries, especially when [Isreal has] their own nuclear weapons and massive military strength."
While MTG's recent stance has been shared by a number of other MAGA voices such as former Trump advisor Steve Bannon and former Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson, many have stood by the president, arguing involvement is inevitable.
Former US ambassador to Israel David Friedman called Greene's stance "just stupid," and insisted Trump's efforts are to prevent a "radical, America-hating Islamist dictator" from "getting a nuke that will be within ranged of the USA."
