Greene said she’s “not a fan” of Obamacare but complained that her “own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE” if Congress ignores the issue.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., broke with her party Monday evening by calling for action on expiring Obamacare subsidies to avoid premium hikes, adding a prominent MAGA voice to the cause led by Democrats.

In a long post on X, Greene, the far-right MAGA firebrand, made it clear she was not in Congress when the 2010 law passed.

“Let’s just say as nicely as possible, I’m not a fan,” she wrote. “But I’m going to go against everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire this year my own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE, along with all the wonderful families and hard-working people in my district.”

    This broken clock has just been on fire lately… I still have to say it’s not coincidence.

    I think it’s because she actually was stupid. Most republicans are smart opportunists, they don’t believe anything they are saying, but they know what to say to rile up the crazy conspiracy theorists and get the votes, money and power to do what donors want.

    MTG is one of the conspiracy theorists created by this rhetoric. she still believes in the democratic weather machines, still believes climate change is a hoax, but she’s saying those things because she actually believes them, not because of a paycheck from Exxon. Which makes her very dangerous when she’s given real evidence of actual conspiracies like, big insurance companies putting money to charge insane amounts of money, or an actual leader of Isreal committing a genocide, or an actual ring of elite pedophiles.

    Bottom line the sellouts like Charlie Kirk and Patel etc… that can turn it on and off at will. IE “release the files now!”, oh trump says he doesn’t want them released, my bad “trust the government they know what they are doing”.

    She has no off switch… when she spouts a conspiracy nonsense it’s because she believes it… which means they can’t wave a bag of money or tell her “same team stop”.
