Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says Maduro capture is 'the same Washington playbook' that we're 'sick and tired of'

Source: NBC News

WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., slammed the Trump administration’s capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, saying on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” Sunday that the operation was part of “the same Washington playbook that we are so sick and tired of that doesn’t serve the American people.”

Greene argued that President Donald Trump and his administration “campaigned on Make America Great Again, that we thought was putting America first.”

Her comments come as lawmakers grapple with the operation that captured Maduro and his wife and brought them to the U.S., with lawmakers’ support largely falling along party lines. Greene has previously opposed Trump administration policies that she argued contradicted “America First” principles.

In Sunday’s interview, she said that “we don’t consider Venezuela our neighborhood.”

promised no new wars or regime change. He didn’t promise he wouldn’t kidnap dictators of other countries and remove them from their country and put them in jail in the US. Please, could some other country come to the US and kidnap trump and take him to the international court of justice and straight to The Hague.

It's the EPSTEIN DISTRACTION ACTION

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/385521-trump-we-dont-want-to-be-the-policemen-of-the-world/

President Trump on Monday said the U.S. should no longer serve as the “policemen of the world.”

“We more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world,” Trump said during a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.

“We’re spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldn’t be the priority,” he said.

Trump ran on the promise that he would extricate the U.S. from foreign wars.


It really was a BFD for maga.
At the time.


Reason for the increasing acts of violence and state-sponsored terrorism?



He's haunted.

She has a chance to make a dent in Diddling Donny's armor, but she has to keep selling her brand as the victims' advocate.
