Marjorie Taylor Greene has opened up about her decision to break from Donald Trump and how she questioned his religious faith after a speech made in honor of Charlie Kirk
Marjorie Taylor Greene, the polarizing Republican firebrand from Georgia, revealed her disappointment at President Donald Trump following his remarks during a memorial service for late conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Following the conservative leader’s passing in September, GOP members and Trump administration officials assembled in Arizona. At the high-profile gathering, President Trump himself spoke about Kirk and his contributions as a Republican champion.
“He was a missionary with a noble spirit and a great, great purpose,” Trump said of Kirk. “He did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent, and I don’t want the best for them.”
For Greene, this moment marked a turning point in her relationship with the president. “That was absolutely the worst statement,” Greene texted the New York Times months following the ceremony.
The Georgia representative believes that Trump’s comments, contrasted with a tearful Erika who publicly pardoned her husband’s murderer on television, provided crucial clarity. “It just shows where his heart is. And that’s the difference, with her having a sincere Christian faith, and proves that he does not have any faith,” she texted.
Greene also shared that this experience brought clarity for her. “Our side has been trained by Donald Trump to never apologize and to never admit when you’re wrong,” she said, reflecting on her five-year allegiance to the president.
“You just keep pummeling your enemies, no matter what,” she continued. “And as a Christian, I don’t believe in doing that. I agree with Erika Kirk, who did the hardest thing possible and said it out loud.”
