Calling for peace and restraint, Greene warns that deeper US entanglement in Middle East wars will harm Americans and contradict the values many voted for in 2024.

Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has sharply criticized members of her own party for supporting US involvement in the escalating Israeli war on Iran, accusing them of betraying the “America First” principles they claim to uphold.

In a lengthy post on X, Greene declared that “everyone is finding out who are real America First/MAGA and who were fake and just said it because it was popular,” suggesting a growing rift within the Trump-aligned Republican base over foreign policy.

Greene expressed opposition to what she sees as unconditional support for foreign wars, particularly in the Middle East, warning that US military involvement in the current Israeli war on Iran could have disastrous consequences. “Anyone slobbering for the US to become fully involved in the Israel/Iran war is not America First/MAGA,” she wrote, calling such positions “disgusting".

Everyone is finding out who are real America First/MAGA and who were fake and just said it bc it was popular.

Unfortunately the list of fakes are becoming quite long and exposed themselves quickly.

Anyone slobbering for the U.S. to become fully involved in the Israel/Iran war…

— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) June 15, 2025

She emphasized that the war could escalate far beyond the region, potentially drawing in BRICS nations and NATO. “This one will quickly engulf the Middle East, BRICS, and NATO,” she warned, arguing that real “America First” advocates support peace over military intervention.

In what could be interpreted as a veiled critique of President Donald Trump and his allies, Greene condemned those who prioritize foreign interests over domestic issues. “We have spent TRILLIONS in the Middle East and we have dealt with the aftermath of death, blown apart bodies, never-ending suicides, and disabling PTSD,” she said, asserting that Americans have been misled by propaganda into sacrificing for “some other country’s borders.”

Though Greene reaffirmed her support for the military, she insisted that US forces should be focused on defending American borders and communities, not waging wars overseas.

The Georgia congresswoman, known for her controversial statements, positioned her remarks as a rational call for global peace and economic cooperation, not isolationism. “Taking this position is NOT antisemitic,” she stated, adding that seeking peace and prosperity benefits all nations and should be central to US policy.

Greene’s comments underscore growing divisions within the MAGA movement. While many Republicans continue to align with Trump’s aggressive foreign policy legacy, Greene’s rhetoric suggests a populist shift toward non-interventionism that could challenge the coherence of the party’s foreign agenda.
