Marjorie Taylor Greene has issued a stark warning to Donald Trump following the military operation in Venezuela, telling him that such overseas interference was “what many in MAGA thought they voted to end.”
In a lengthy post on X on Saturday, Greene criticised the president for authorising CIA operations in Venezuela, including the capture of President Nicolas Maduro. Trump justified the action by claiming Venezuela had “emptied their prisons into the United States of America” and flooded the country with drugs.
Greene hit back, pointing out that 70 percent of U.S. drug overdose deaths were due to fentanyl entering via Mexico. “If U.S. military action and regime change in Venezuela was really about saving American lives from deadly drugs then why hasn’t the Trump admin taken action against Mexican cartels?” she asked.
The Georgia congresswoman also highlighted Trump’s pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, convicted of trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into America. She argued that Americans are “enraged” by tax dollars being funnelled to foreign causes while they face rising costs of living.
Greene, who was once a close Trump ally but has become a vocal critic, announced her resignation from Congress in November and is due to leave on January 5. Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer revealed that other Republicans have privately expressed concerns about Trump’s actions, calling on them to resist the president.
