Trump killed the MAGA movement, former ally Greene declares
Former Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump destroyed the MAGA movement after Democrats won the midterms decisively.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, once a fierce MAGA champion, told ABC's 7.30 program that Trump himself killed the movement he created. Marjorie Taylor Greene said the midterm results proved it.
Democrats took control of both the Senate and the House, and Texas turned blue. Greene blamed Trump for abandoning his base.
She said he entertained big tech CEOs, leaders of major industries and the defence industry while neglecting the people who packed his rallies. Greene predicted uncertainty ahead for US politics as the Republican Party tries to rebuild and figure out who will lead it next.
She suggested Americans were tired of the chaos from Washington and wanted calmer times.
