00:04A political thunderclap has shaken Washington with the abrupt resignation of one of the Republican Party's loudest voices, Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:12Loyalty should be a two-way street, and we should be able to vote our conscience.
00:17The decision may have been a shock in her party, but not with her president.
00:21Marjorie went bad, he exclaimed on his social media account.
00:25I don't know what happened. She's lost her way.
00:27In recent months, Greene's position within the MAGA movement shifted as she broke with Donald Trump over the Epstein files.
00:33He called me a traitor.
00:35That rhetoric, according to Greene, resulted in threats, putting more distance between the two conservative powerhouses.
00:41Trump's disassociation of her, I think that's the straw that broke the camel's back.
00:47At one point, Marjorie Taylor Greene was seen as an heir apparent to the MAGA movement.
00:52Under my opinion, there was a tremendous amount of fraudulent things that happened in the election.
00:59She stood by Trump as he became a pariah in a post-January 6th world.
01:05Enacted as a foil to President Joe Biden.
01:08But as this Trump administration leaned into foreign policy, Greene fought back.
01:12America first should mean America first and only Americans first.
01:17And faced a pending political nightmare.
01:19He would never have survived a primary.
01:22Her break with Trump is significant.
01:24And if more follow that path, it could put MAGA's survival chances post-Trump in question.
01:29There's going to be other types of arguments as to whether or not the policies and the people who are trying to reclaim that torch are MAGA enough.
01:37And I see it as actually fracturing and going away.
01:40Not right away, but eventually.
01:42Republicans will likely lose the midterms.
01:45And in turn, be expected to defend the president against impeachment.
01:49Marjorie Taylor Greene's parting words to her party almost seem like a call to action.
01:54Pleading to turn away from policies that could be electorally toxic.
