Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is proud of her 100% conservative rating but said on Friday it is worth losing it to help President-elect Donald Trump start with a clean slate on Jan. 20 and not be saddled with a leftover budget mess.
“I am one of the most conservative members of Congress and last night I voted for a bill that ordinarily I would never vote for,” she said on X.
“However, the man that took a bullet to the face and won the presidential election with 312 electoral college votes, and the most votes of any Republican presidential candidate in history asked me to vote for it, so I did, gladly,” she added.
Hers was a warning call to House Republicans planning another vote on Friday on a revised budget plan to keep the government open but on conservative terms.
If it includes unacceptable pork to win Democratic support, then she and other Republicans prefer that the government partially shut down.
