Marjorie Taylor Greene Criticizes Trump Administration Over Maduro Capture, Calls It a “Failed Washington Playbook” | Tingolist

WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) sharply criticized the Trump administration’s capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, calling it a repeat of what she described as a long-standing and unpopular U.S. foreign policy strategy.

She announced her resignation in November following a highly publicized falling-out with Trump, despite previously being one of his most vocal supporters. In the months leading up to her resignation, Greene increasingly broke with Trump on several key issues, including U.S. foreign policy, his handling of matters related to Jeffrey Epstein, and support for Obamacare subsidies. In a later interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes, Greene reiterated her criticism, arguing that Trump failed to prioritize domestic issues. “For an ‘America First’ president, the No. 1 focus should have been domestic policy,” she said. “And it wasn’t.
