Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) speaks with CNN congressional correspondent Manu Raju about the government shutdown, partisan divisions in Congress, former President Donald Trump’s influence, and other key political issues.

MANU RAJU, CNN: You’ve been such a close ally of the president’s. Are you worried about being on the opposite side of him on some of these issues? REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE (R-GA): I’ve supported the president for the longest time. I was one of the only Republicans in Washington that did not turn my back on him after January 6. Traveled the country spending millions of my own dollars supporting Donald Trump, helping him get elected. And I think I’m still supporting him now by saying Republicans in the House and Senate need to do their job and come up with a solution for the American people. And I’m supporting him with my policies. Being against the Ukraine war, he was saying he wanted to end that war from day one. Being against foreign wars, he’s always said he’s against foreign wars. So a lot of my stances actually support the president a lot more than perhaps maybe some people on his own White House staff and a lot of these Republicans that just put their MAGA hats on literally a year ago. RAJU: I wonder, do you think that he’s maybe straying from some of those MAGA principles that you’re fighting for? REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE (R-GA): I’ve never speak on behalf of the president, but I don’t think he’s always getting the best advice. RAJU: From his staff? REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE (R-GA): Possibly, yeah.
