Public Criticism of GOP

Shift from Loyal Trump Ally
Greene, once known as one of President Donald Trump’s most ardent supporters in Congress, has increasingly diverged from him and the broader GOP on issues such as the Jeffrey Epstein files, health care subsidies and the Israel-Hamas war. These breaks have fueled speculation of potential primary challenges from within the party. MCKENZIE LANGE/ Staff / USA TODAY NETWORK
Criticism of GOP Establishment
On Carlson’s show, Greene argued that disenchantment with the Republican Party helped fuel Trump’s rise, saying, “Americans got to the point where electing Donald Trump was a referendum on the Republican Party… because many times I hate my own party, and I blame Republicans for many of the problems that we have today.” MCKENZIE LANGE/ Staff / USA TODAY NETWORK
Accusations of Corporate Influence
Greene accused Republicans of catering to major industries and favoring foreign conflicts, claiming, “I blame them for being so America last to the point where they are literally slaves to all the big industries in Washington, the military industrial complex, big pharma, health insurance industries, you name it. They are literally slaves to them, and they love foreign war so much.” Jack Gruber-USA TODAY
Comments on Party Figures and Trump Loyalty
She also criticized GOP leaders for maintaining loyalty to Trump out of fear rather than conviction, saying, “The only reason that they kiss up to Donald Trump… is because they’re terrified of a Truth Social post, because they’re terrified of their own constituents that fully support MAGA.” The White House / Wikimedia
Policy Breaks and Controversies
Greene has taken positions that clash with GOP leadership, including supporting the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files, which Trump has labeled a “hoax.” She also backed extending Affordable Care Act subsidies, citing personal impact on families, writing on X: “I’m going to go against everyone on this issue because… my own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE.” MCKENZIE LANGE/ Staff / USA TODAY NETWORK
Gender Dynamics in GOP
In August, Greene told The Daily Mail she was “really sick and tired” of how women are treated within the Republican Party, adding she wasn’t sure whether “the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I’m kind of not relating to the Republican Party as much anymore.” Megan Smith / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images
Expert View on Her Political Dilemma
Political scientist William F. Hall of Webster University previously told Newsweek that Greene is caught between her longstanding opposition to foreign wars and Trump’s evolving foreign policy stance, placing her in a “predicament” between ideology and loyalty. Jack Gruber-USA TODAY
