Marjorie Taylor Greene declares 'MAGA is dead' at Texas festival

Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene declared that the 'MAGA is dead' during an appearance at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin. Greene, once a prominent ally of Donald Trump, accused the former president of betraying his supporters and failing to uphold campaign promises.

Greene described the MAGA coalition as a 'cult' of unquestioning loyalty, stating that Republicans who refuse to hold Trump accountable are 'liars' and 'hypocrites.' She noted that many members of Congress privately disagree with Trump but remain silent to protect their political careers.

The rift between Greene and Trump reportedly escalated over her advocacy for the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Greene claimed Trump actively worked to prevent the release of these records, leading to personal attacks from the former president on Truth Social, where he labeled her 'Marjorie Traitor Greene.' Following these disputes, Greene announced her intention to resign from Congress, with her final day scheduled for January 5, 2026.
