Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Saturday criticized President Donald Trump over his decision to join Israel in launching major strikes on Iran aimed at dismantling its nuclear program and pushing for regime change, saying the move betrays supporters who backed his pledge to avoid new foreign wars.
In a lengthy message Saturday on X, the Georgia Republican rejected the administration's justification for the strikes and accused Trump and Vice President JD Vance of abandoning core campaign promises.
"We said 'No More Foreign Wars, No More Regime Change!' We said it on rally stage after rally stage, speech after speech. Trump, Vance, basically the entire admin campaigned on it and promised to put America FIRST and Make America Great Again," Greene wrote.
"Thousands and thousands of Americans from my generation have been killed and injured in never-ending, pointless foreign wars, and we said no more," she added. "But we are freeing the Iranian people. Please."
"There are 93 million people in Iran; let them liberate themselves. But Iran is on the verge of having nuclear weapons. Yeah, sure."
Greene said Trump previously assured supporters that Iran's nuclear threat had been eliminated.
"We have been spoon-fed that line for decades, and Trump told us all that his bombing this past summer completely wiped it all out," she wrote.
"It's always a lie and it's always America Last. But it feels like the worst betrayal this time because it comes from the very man and the admin who we all believed was different and said no more."
She said supporters believed Trump's 2024 victory would mark a shift in priorities.
"We thought the victory won in 2024 would be finally time to put America First. And we thought that meant the common American man and woman and their children. Not the elites. America has suffered and they don't even care," Greene wrote.
Greene also criticized both parties over spending and domestic policy, writing that decades of "corrupt government spending" left the nation with nearly $40 trillion in debt and saying, "No, war with Iran does not lower inflation and make cost of living affordable."
"For years we demanded to release the Epstein files ... and not a single person has been arrested and likely won't be, no accountability, no justice," she wrote.
"Instead, we get a war with Iran on behalf of Israel that will succeed in regime [change] in Iran. Another foreign war for foreign people for foreign regime change. For what?"
"Now, America is going to be force-fed and gaslighted all the 'noble' reasons the American 'Peace' President and Pro-Peace administration had to go to war once again this year, after being in power for only a year. Head-spinning, but maga."
