OPPONENT Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was accused of betraying President Trump after she described his Iran nuclear bombing as being done “to please the warmongers and neocon TV personalities that MAGA hates and were Never Trumpers.”


“Only six months in and we are back into foreign wars, regime change, and World War III. It feels like a complete bait and switch to please the neocons, warmongers, military-industrial complex contracts, and neocon TV personalities that MAGA hates and who were NEVER TRUMPERS!” — Rep.

MAGA CHOOSES SIDES Some ardent Trump supporters — including TV and talk show host Mark Levin, South Caroli- na GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, and radio host and OutKick founder Clay Travis — publicly urged the president to bomb Iran and end its rogue nuclear


ambitions once and for all. An NBC poll after the U.S.


bombing of Iran’s nuclear fa- cilities in June showed how paper-thin Carlson’s wing of the MAGA world really is. The poll found that 72% of tradi- tional Republicans supported Trump’s bombing, a super- majority of 84% of MAGA vot- ers backed the strikes. But Carlson and others may


be playing not for the center of MAGA world but for the deep and dark extremes. MAGA’s noninterventionist wing has others besides Carlson, includ- ing Trump’s former chief strate- gist Steve Bannon, former Rep. Matt Gaetz, and Turning Point USA co-founder and activ-


ist Charlie Kirk — all of whom voiced strong reluctance to get entangled in another military campaign in the Middle East. By mid-June, Trump seemed


to be fighting a two-front war, one in the Middle East and an- other within his own MAGA base. Which was more likely to flare out of control seemed un- certain. The most unwavering op-


ponent to striking Iran: MAGA stalwart and firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. “Only six months in and we


are back into foreign wars, re- gime change, and World War III,” the Georgia Republican wrote in a post on X. “It feels like a complete bait and switch
