marjorie taylor greene was a maga supporter from day one

Hey everybody, welcome to the Mark Parham Podcast. You can follow me on Spotify by typing in Mark Parham Podcast and I should pop up there on Spotify or wherever you listen podcasts.

So, you know, I've seen this whole thing online with Donald Trump at Marjorie Taylor Green, like this whole back and forth.

And I think a lot of Trump supporters or a lot of mega supporters forget that Marjorie Taylor Green helped build the MAGA movement.

People don't want to give her credit, but she was one of the people out there with the hat and she was somebody who always, you know, said nice things about Donald Trump and MAGA supporters.

She campaigned for Donald Trump. She was one of the early people that were on the quote unquote Trump train, as they say.

And, you know, to see online how people who are Donald Trump supporters have switched on her because Donald Trump, you know, has put out some truth social posts and stuff like that.

It's like, that's ridiculous. I mean, it's almost like people are in a cult where, you know, Donald Trump says that this person's not good or this person's fake, then all of a sudden they believe everything he says.

And that's not right in my opinion. That makes somebody like almost like a zombie. And, you know, Marjorie Taylor Green was one of the main people in the beginning.

That was out front on, you know, legacy media, television stations and everything, taking criticism, all sorts of stuff.

And she was MAGA through and through. And, you know, for a lot of Republicans and Trump supporters to turn their back on her, it's insane.

You know, all for basically, you know, they don't like her asking questions, you know, it's gotten to the point where, you know, anyone who questions Donald Trump is thought of as an enemy now.

And I think that's backward. It's like, the only way to get politicians to do the correct thing in America, sometimes you have to criticize and basically wake them up and let them know, you know what, we know you're lying.

And we might support you, but you have to change course. And Marjorie Taylor Green, she's somebody that wants the president to do very well.

Like no one can say that she's a Democrat, even though online they say she's a closet Democrat and all this other mess in these terms.

They come up with like, no, she's never somebody that would have voted for Kamala Harris. But at the same time, it's just like for a president to be so sensitive that he can't take some criticism from one of his supporters.

That's, that's insane to me. And maybe if the president listened to Marjorie Taylor Green and people like that, maybe we wouldn't be in a war where they ran right now.

It's like Marjorie Taylor Green, she helped build the MAGA movement. People might not want to admit that, but when all these other senators or politicians were looking back and saying, oh, well, you know what, I don't know if I support Trump, then my voters might not vote for me.

She was somebody that said, you know what, give me this hat. I'm going to put it on and Trump, you have my support.

And you know, it's crazy, but he's turning on everyone. Donald Trump is turning on everyone who supported him.

Like, these are hardcore supporters. These aren't Democrats. And he's just turning on them left and right. And what, it's been a year into his presidency.

So it doesn't make sense. I mean, right now, if it were me, I would tell them, like these are people that you need to listen to.

Like, these are folks that talk to people that aren't in Washington, DC. And these are the people that talk to your ordinary citizens.

And they're telling you certain things. And maybe you should listen to Marjorie Taylor Green. Maybe you should listen to Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, like, you know, it's just, it's just baffling to me.

But again, it is what it is. But I just find it interesting how everyone can, you know, sort of say something's wrong with Marjorie Taylor Green.

And she's trying to, you know, mess the president up and sit up and, you know, do all sorts of things when, you know, she's been a mega supporter, 100%.

And she's someone who was a very reliable supporter of Trump and his policies. But, you know, you have a president that can't take some simple criticism about certain things.

That's backwards. That's like being friends with somebody. And when your friend says, oh, well, you know what? Maybe you should do X, Y, and Z.

And you're like, you have a bad attitude and you're losing your mind and going all crazy. When your friend is maybe telling you, you know what? Maybe you need to lose weight.

So you'll be healthier or something like that. Like, I just don't understand it. And it just goes to show you how, you know, Trump is messing up the Republican party.

And he's destroying the bag of movement. And so, you know, it's back. It's weird to me. It's weird that, you know, a guy who had such support early on in 2024 and how, you know, he said he was going to be different is turning into just another version of George W. Bush.

You know, a George W. Bush basically that has, you know, more charisma. But he's Donald Trump has done a 360. It's insane that he's done it this early in his presidency. Like, I don't understand it. But, you know, it is what it is.
