Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R–Ga.) joined Free Media's Robby Soave in June to discuss her friendship with Rep. Thomas Massie (R–Ky.), her break with Trump-era politics, and why she believes both major parties are failing ordinary Americans. Greene says she once thought President Donald Trump would help crash the system. Now she argues that the two-party system itself is the problem, and that Americans are not yet engaged enough to beat it.
Q: Can you speak about your ideological evolution? You came to Washington as a fervent backer of Trump, MAGA, and MAHA. By the end of your time in Washington, you were ideologically and personally close with Massie, who was targeted by Trump for many of the same reasons you later became at odds with the administration. Massie has thought of himself as a libertarian or friendly to libertarianism. Have you felt more kinship with Massie, and with the ideology and the movement he's involved in?
