Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is urging the Republican base to maintain their faith in light of Donald Trump’s third criminal indictment.
The Georgia politician advised conservatives to disregard the news and rely on God’s plan while appearing on the far-right cable network Real America’s Voice to discuss the former president’s recent legal challenges.
“While it is concerning to think about what will happen in our future, I always have hope,” Greene expressed during an interview on “Human Events with Jack Posobiec.”
“It is important that we have complete faith and hope in God, rather than solely relying on the headlines and news,” she continued.
“Our true hope should be in God. Jesus Christ is my savior,” Greene declared. “And I believe He is yours as well. God has plans that are much greater than this.”
She then shifted her focus to Trump supporters, telling Posobiec, “I also believe in the American people, Jack. I believe their power is greater than mine. I am only one member of Congress. However, when the American people truly desire to make a difference, I genuinely believe that they can.”
Earlier in the interview, Greene discussed her plan to “defund Jack Smith’s special counsel,” with the support of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.).
Smith has been leading two separate investigations of Trump by the U.S. Department of Justice, investigations that Republicans argue are politically motivated.
In June, Trump was indicted on 37 charges related to the mishandling of government documents. Last week, Smith filed a superseding indictment, adding three more charges to Trump’s case.
Yesterday, Trump’s legal troubles escalated further when Smith filed charges in a separate case in Washington, D.C., accusing him of attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and incite the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Expressing her anger towards the FBI, Greene informed Posobiec that she refuses to “fund a weaponized government.”
“I will not vote to fund the FBI’s new headquarters,” she declared. “I refuse to do that. I will not vote to fund a weaponized government in any form in the FBI and Department of Justice.”
“That’s the only power that we as Republicans have right now to make a difference,” Greene continued. “I must tell you, we do not have many people on our side.”
In a June tweet, Greene announced her plan to defund Smith’s office and called on her Republican colleagues to join her.
So far, only Gaetz and Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) have publicly supported her efforts.
