Greene declares 'MAGA is dead' at Texas Tribune Festival, blaming Trump for betrayal
Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene declared the MAGA movement 'dead' and a 'cult' during a September 24 appearance at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin. Greene, who resigned from Congress in early 2026 after a public feud with President Donald Trump, criticized the president for betraying his 'America First' promises, particularly regarding foreign policy and the release of the Epstein files. She described current MAGA supporters as 'liars' and 'hypocrites' for failing to hold Trump accountable, while maintaining that she remains opposed to Democratic policies. Greene also noted that she sees no credible 2028 presidential candidate among conservatives who have broken with Trump.
