MTG rages at Trump advisers: 'Anyone that gets in the president's ear and is lying to him'
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) raged that unnamed advisers to President Donald Trump were "lying to him."
During a Monday interview with MGA influencer Steve Bannon, Greene reflected on complaints she made last week about the Trump administration moving closer to war with Iran — and losing his MAGA base.
"First off, Fox is making a huge deal of this, everybody's making a huge deal of this," Bannon told Greene. "Now you see a wedge coming between the base and President Trump. Nothing would be further from the truth."
"That's a lie," Greene agreed. "The wedge is between Congress and the establishment Republicans that are undermining the president's agenda. And also anyone that gets in the president's ear and is lying to him about what he should be doing, you know, here's the real issue."

"We are embracing Make America Great Again, MAGA, America First, MAHA, No More Foreign Wars, this whole populist movement supporting America and American workers and American companies and American interests and solving American problems," she continued. "What we saw is all these Republicans that rejected Trump fought Trump in his first administration."
"And here's the issue, Steve, is they think they can manipulate the president, but you can't manipulate the base."
