Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who voted with President Trump 98% of the time before her relationship with him fractured, accused the president in a recent interview with 60 Minutes of forsaking his base.
The Georgia representative has recently split with the president on a number of issues, including affordability and foreign affairs. She said she believes he's failed to keep domestic policy as his top priority. In her resignation video, Greene said the president has forsaken the MAGA base, specifically pointing to his support of the crypto and pharmaceutical industries.
"Those are the areas that are still getting everything they want, while the people, we're still out here saying, 'We want to see action on areas for the American people, not for the major industries and the big donors,'" Greene said.
Mr. Trump has called affordability a "hoax" created by Democrats, but Greene said it's a real issue in her district and across the country. The affordability of health insurance caused Greene to side with the Democrats during the government shutdown in support of extending health care subsidies.
The Georgia representative said she never imagined she would be standing with Democrats on the Affordable Care Act subsidies.
She is firing the 1st shots in the coming US economic civil war, the haves vs have nots among the 300 million in the white working middle class. She sees the opportunity, but is she too damaged to be the messenger?
