Conspiracy theorist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) warned President Donald Trump that some of his closest insiders are “lying” to him.
And she said his MAGA base won’t tolerate it.
Greene spoke to right-wing podcaster Steve Bannon, who has been in and out of Trump’s circle over the years, about a social media post last week in which she railed against some of the administration’s key foreign policy moves including the mineral rights deal in Ukraine and threats of military action against Iran.
“I represent the base and when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy,” she wrote on X. “When you are losing MTG, you are losing the base.”
Bannon noted on his “War Room” podcast that some took that to mean there’s a rift between Trump and his MAGA base.
She said on Monday that’s not the case at all.
“It’s a lie. There is no wedge between the base and President Trump,” she told Bannon. “The wedge is between Congress and the establishment Republicans that are undermining the president’s agenda and also anyone that gets in the president’s ear and is lying to him about what he should be doing.”
She called last year’s election a “mandate” for Republican lawmakers to fully embrace Trump’s MAGA agenda.
“Washington, as usual, is tone-deaf and has not heard the message,” she said, saying GOP figures who didn’t support the president’s agenda during his first term are still working against him today.

“They think they can manipulate the president,” she said. “But you can’t manipulate the base.”
