- Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized President Trump and fellow conservatives for breaking campaign promises by escalating U.S. involvement in the Middle East, particularly the recent bombing of Iranian nuclear sites. She also opposed Trump’s proposed budget bill over its AI regulation moratorium, highlighting tensions within the GOP on foreign and domestic policy.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) criticized President Trump and fellow conservatives Monday over escalating U.S. involvement in the Middle East, particularly the recent bombing of Iranian nuclear sites. Speaking on Steve Bannon’s WarRoom podcast, Greene expressed outrage over what she described as a broken campaign promise to avoid foreign wars, accusing Trump of prioritizing Israel’s interests over American lives.
“Six months in, Steve, and here we are, turning back on the campaign promises,” Greene said on the show. “We bombed Iran on behalf of Israel. Yes, it was on behalf of Israel. We are entering a nuclear war, World War III, because the entire world is going to erupt.”
MTG: You want to know what I have that Mark Levin doesn’t have? I have a voting card. I have a district that believes in the greatness of America, in America’s First policies, and wants Trump, his administration, and a Republican-controlled Congress to enact them. @RepMTG pic.twitter.com/UUauyuV7ou

The strikes, which targeted three key nuclear facilities in Iran on Saturday, have sparked heated debate among conservatives and drawn criticism from both anti-interventionist Republicans and Democrats. The strikes come amidst rising tensions in the region, with critics warning of potential retaliation from Iranian forces or allied militant groups. Greene took a swipe at media coverage, accusing networks such as Fox News and CNN of manipulating public opinion.
“And you want to know the people cheering it on right now? Their tune is going to drastically change the minute we start seeing flag-draped coffins on the nightly news,” Greene added, targeting Fox News directly. Her remarks align with a broader faction of anti-war conservatives, including Bannon and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who have voiced opposition to the strikes.
Sharp Divides Among Conservatives
Greene’s comments highlight growing divisions within the Republican Party over U.S. foreign policy. Prominent conservative commentators like Fox News host Mark Levin and Sean Hannity have supported the strikes, calling them necessary for maintaining global stability. Levin, however, recently referred to Greene as a “nitwit” for her stance.

Greene fired back during her WarRoom appearance, emphasizing her authority as an elected representative. “You want to know what I have that Mark Levin doesn’t have? I have a voting card, Steve. I have a district that believes in the greatness of America, that believes in America First policies,” she said. Greene argued that her position reflects the priorities of the America First movement more authentically than some conservative media figures.
AI Legislation Adds Another Layer of Conflict
In addition to her critique of U.S. military actions, Greene also broke with President Trump on his proposed budget bill, which includes a 10-year moratorium on state-level AI regulations. The congresswoman slammed the provision as a “poison pill” and vowed to vote against the bill if it remains in place.
“I am a 100% no vote if it is still there because I get to vote again,” she said, adding that the provision undermines state rights to regulate emerging technologies. The debate over AI regulation underscores broader tensions between federal and state authority, a recurring theme in policy battles across the nation.
What’s Next for U.S. Policy?
The controversy over the Iranian strikes and domestic policy disputes underscores the complexities of leading a politically fractured nation. As debates rage within the GOP and across the aisle, questions remain about how U.S. foreign policy will adapt to rising tensions in the Middle East and whether bipartisan consensus on domestic issues like AI regulation can be achieved.
For Greene, the focus remains on accountability. “I represent a district that wants bold leadership and action,” she said. The congresswoman’s remarks serve as a reminder of the diverse viewpoints shaping America’s political and civic landscape.
