MTG Slams Trump's 'Handlers,' Forgetting Her Own Party's Loyalty Oaths
Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), a figure known for her selective outrage, recently lambasted Donald Trump for meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu and Volodymyr Zelensky. Her concern about 'foreign influence' is almost touching, if it weren't for the glaring omission of the financial realities in her own party. While she targets Trump's 'handlers,' one might recall that her Republican colleagues, along
with many Democrats, are routinely lauded by organizations like AIPAC for their unwavering support—a support often preceding significant campaign contributions. For instance, in the 2022 and 2024 cycles, AIPAC's PAC and associated super PACs spent tens of millions, often targeting candidates deemed insufficiently 'pro-Israel' regardless of their domestic policy stance, as detailed by
OpenSecrets.org. So, the concern isn't about foreign influence itself, but apparently about which foreign leaders are being courted. It’s hardly novel for American politicians, even those claiming to be anti-establishment, to bend a knee when the optics, or the donations, are right. How many meetings with foreign leaders does it take before one realizes the 'America First' rhetoric often takes a
backseat to strategic alliances and lucrative lobbying?
