ICYMI — Ask a Pol’s exclusive w/ Rep. Byron Donalds
Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol’s exclusive interview with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), slightly edited for clarity.
TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene
SCENE: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s surrounded by a throng of reporters on the steps of the US Capitol.
Matt Laslo: “A lot of your Republican colleagues are increasingly frustrated with you, saying that you don't speak for the party.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene: “I think, I speak for the people, and the people are the party. And that's everything wrong with the Republican Party. Many Republican leaders have forgotten that. And this is why Republican voters, for many years now, are so tired of the Republican Party that write strongly worded letters, has a great three-to-five minutes on Fox News, and continues to just say, ‘Give these talking points,’ but never backs it up with actions. Republican voters want actions, they wanna be protected from the destructive Democrat agenda, and Republican leaders aren't doing it.”
Reporters yelling.
ML: “Thank you, ma’am.”
Reporter: “Have you talked to Mr. Trump about this since Biden…”
Reporters continue their Q&A.
