Revolt in MAGA: MTG Slams Trump and GOP Over Shutdown Chaos

Why is MAGA’s own star, Marjorie Taylor Greene, turning on her party during a government shutdown crisis? On this episode of The Tara Palmeri Show, Tara joins Abby Phillip on CNN to unpack the growing Republican rift as Speaker Mike Johnson faces heat from Americans—like a military spouse fearing for her children’s medication—over a shutdown threatening health care access and livelihoods. Tara dives into MTG’s stunning rebuke of GOP leadership, blaming them for fumbling control of Congress and the White House, especially as Obamacare subsidy expirations loom, hitting red states like Georgia and Texas hard with premium hikes and coverage losses. Tara spars with Scott Jennings, who defends Johnson’s outreach to voters and calls out Democratic posturing, but Tara counters by focusing on the real families hurt by the GOP’s missteps. She also notes Katie Porter’s California campaign unraveling after viral clips show her lashing out at staff and reporters. How will MTG’s defiance reshape the GOP’s future in this shutdown fight?
