Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump's fracturing of MAGA base will cause midterm 'slaughter'

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) predicted that "Republicans are going to get slaughtered in the midterms" because President Donald Trump had fractured his MAGA base.

During an interview with Politico that aired Friday, host Dash Burns observed that Greene had unexpectedly sided with Democrats on invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.

"I was so shocked by his statement of taking out an entire civilization of people," the former lawmaker explained. "That is rhetoric that we have never heard from any president of the United States, and I don't think any world leader. I was so, so disturbed by that. And to me, that displayed a severe mental state, that someone would say those words."

Greene called Trump's remarks about destroying Iran "the most evil thing I've ever heard in my life."

"Is Trump still the leader of the MAGA movement?" Burns asked.

"I don't associate with the new MAGA that he created once he became president," Greene insisted. "I think it's all divided right now. I don't think, I mean, obviously President Trump is, he's the president, obviously, and he still has significant support according to polling, anyone that identifies themselves as MAGA very much supports President Trump."

"However, the reality of what's happened in that base is it's very fractured," she continued. "There's the America First lane of the Republican Party. There's a, you know, Republican voter that calls themselves MAGA. And then, you know, then there's your traditional Republican voters. Then you've got your moderate, more moderate voters."

Greene said that division meant disaster for Republicans in the midterm elections.

"Republicans are going to get slaughtered in the midterms," she asserted. "I think right now it's definitely losing the House and potentially the Senate."
