Marjorie Taylor Greene Praises Nancy Pelosi in Unexpected Twist
Marjorie Taylor Greene has publicly applauded Nancy Pelosi, a notable shift from her past sharp criticism. This change comes amid speculation that Greene might run for president, reportedly in response to President Trump not supporting her Senate bid.
Greene's Remarks on Pelosi's Career and Retirement
When asked about Pelosi’s retirement after 38 years in Congress, Greene joked about term limits but offered genuine praise:
“Well, my reaction is I believe in term limits. However, I will praise Nancy Pelosi. She had an incredible career for her party. I served under her speakership in my first term of Congress, and I'm very impressed at her ability to get things done.”
She also extended criticism to her own party for struggling to achieve results in contrast to Pelosi’s effectiveness:
“I wish we could get things done for our party, like Nancy Pelosi was able to deliver for her party. So, I wish her well in her retirement, but I would like to see people exit Washington a lot sooner rather than wait until they're 80.”
Historical Context of Greene’s Comments
This praise is striking considering Greene’s 2019 statement, revealed by CNN, when she called Pelosi:
“A traitor to our country, she's guilty of treason.”
The evolution in Greene’s tone marks a significant departure from her prior rhetoric.
Summary
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s recent commendation of Nancy Pelosi highlights a notable political shift, emphasizing Pelosi’s leadership while criticizing her own party's inefficacy.
