GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene broke sharply with her party leaders on Wednesday as they tried to project a united front in the deepening standoff with Democrats over health care and the government shutdown, calling on Speaker Mike Johnson to bring the House back into session and warning that Americans would be hammered by higher costs if her party doesn’t help right the ship. An outspoken critic of Ukraine, she has also ratcheted up her criticism of Israel and called the Gaza war a “genocide.” And she’s one of a handful of Republicans trying to force a full House vote to seek the release of the Jeffrey Epstein case files, while urging Trump to meet with the victims of the late convicted sex offender, saying it would be a “good thing to hear their personal stories.” The Republicans and Democrats have the government shut down, and they’re not discussing anything to fix it.’ Democrats are saying, ‘Continue to grow the debt with ACA tax credits’, and Republicans are just … calling it a Schumer shutdown, so I don’t think anybody is winning here, and I think it’s failure, and I personally don’t like it.”
