Marjorie Taylor Greene Criticizes Trump's Endorsement of Lindsey Graham Ahead of Midterms

Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, posted on X on Saturday that President Donald Trump's endorsement of Senator Lindsey Graham is nauseating. She stated that many of Trump's endorsements support politicians who protect the establishment and deep state. Newsweek reported reaching out to Graham's press team for comment via email on Saturday.

Trump posted on Truth Social on Friday praising Graham, a South Carolina Republican, for doing a fantastic job. Trump described Graham's opponent, Republican Mark Lynch, as a lunatic who would be a disaster for the Republican Party. This endorsement comes ahead of the upcoming midterm elections, where Trump has previously supported Graham's campaigns.

Graham has served four terms in the Senate after four terms in the House, marking his fourth Senate term. He has publicly supported Trump's agenda on Iran. Greene's post criticized Graham's support for foreign intervention and described it as a retreat from America First priorities.

wrote that Graham represents the type of politician Americans voted to remove in 2024, but Trump works to protect such figures.

She urged voters to support America First candidates and avoid those endorsed by Trump, suggesting such endorsements indicate obedience to the system and potential funding from groups promoting Israel's interests over America's. The MAGA movement has shown signs of strain over the Jeffrey Epstein files and Trump’s intervention in Venezuela.

Recent splits with high‐profile conservative figures such as Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Candace Owens highlight how loyalty to Trump increasingly defines MAGA over some “America First” stances and political ideology. Trump’s war with Iran—and particularly his threat earlier this week that an entire civilization could be obliterated if Tehran did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz—has deepened divisions within the MAGA movement.
