Outgoing Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) condemned the Trump administration’s military actions in Venezuela Saturday, saying the president’s MAGA base was unaware they voted for regime change operations in other countries.
In a fiery X post Saturday after the U.S. took Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro into custody, the former MAGA loyalist – who’s due to resign from Congress this upcoming week – expressed frustration with the military action, saying it was likely about oil and did not represent “America First.”
I’ve served on the Homeland Security Committee for the past three years. I’m 100% for strong safe secure borders and stopping narco terrorists and cartels from trafficking deadly drugs and human trafficking into America.

Read Rep. Greene’s post in full below:
I’ve served on the Homeland Security Committee for the past three years. I’m 100% for strong safe secure borders and stopping narco terrorists and cartels from trafficking deadly drugs and human trafficking into America.
Fentanyl is responsible for over 70% of U.S. drug overdose deaths and fentanyl comes from Mexican cartels made with chemical precursors from China and trafficked across the U.S. Mexico border.
Mexican cartels are primarily and overwhelmingly responsible for killing Americans with deadly drugs.
If U.S. military action and regime change in Venezuela was really about saving American lives from deadly drugs then why hasn’t the Trump admin taken action against Mexican cartels?
And if prosecuting narco terrorists is a high priority then why did President Trump pardon the former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who was convicted and sentenced for 45 years for trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into America? Ironically cocaine is the same drug that Venezuela primarily traffics into the U.S.
The next obvious observation is that by removing Maduro this is a clear move for control over Venezuelan oil supplies that will ensure stability for the next obvious regime change war in Iran.
And of course why is it ok for America to militarily invade, bomb, and arrest a foreign leader but Russia is evil for invading Ukraine and China is bad for aggression against Taiwan? Is it only ok if we do it? (I’m not endorsing Russia or China)
Regime change, funding foreign wars, and American’s tax dollars being consistently funneled to foreign causes, foreigners both home and abroad, and foreign governments while Americans are consistently facing increasing cost of living, housing, healthcare, and learn about scams and fraud of their tax dollars is what has most Americans enraged. Especially the younger generations. Boomers and half of Gen X will cheer on neocon wars and talking points, but the other half of Gen X and majority on down see through it and hate it.
Americans disgust with our own government’s never ending military aggression and support of foreign wars is justified because we are forced to pay for it and both parties, Republicans and Democrats, always keep the Washington military machine funded and going.
This is what many in MAGA thought they voted to end.
Boy were we wrong.
As the baby boomers slip away both in votes and power, the electoral future will be decided for candidates that focus on American economic populism and promising prosperity for Americans only.
As of right now, neither party is offering the solution.
The Georgia rep. also balked at Trump’s plan to run Venezuela in Maduro’s stead.
We are “running”Venezuela now. 🤦♀️

America First!!! 🇺🇸
During a press conference Saturday, Trump suggested Mexico could see similar operations due to their rampant black market drug trade, and also put Colombian President Gustavo Petro on notice.

Conservative pundit Wayne Allyn Root suggested the regime change operation could be rooted in finding out what he knows about the stolen election and going after Deep State criminals.
One thing no one is talking about- with capture of Maduro & bringing him back to USA to face trial. He obviously faces life in super max prison, or federal death penalty for drug trafficking. BUT…what if he gets reduced sentence for telling everything he knows about stolen 2020…

The congresswoman’s criticisms come as some have faulted Trump for proceeding with the operation without Congress’s approval, while many on the right question whether the US can execute a successful regime change, something that has not happened in the past.
