Marjorie Taylor Greene tore into Trump on Monday after he questioned whether last week’s midterm elections were honest, telling his supporters the Democratic sweep is “100% on him.”
Trump started it Monday morning on Truth Social. “Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest. How could the Polls be so wrong???” he wrote. “It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!” He offered no evidence. The post came six days after Democrats won control of both the House and the Senate on November 3, and days after Trump told The New York Times he was “absolutely willing” to accept the results.

Marjorie Taylor Greene answered with a long post asking his base a pointed question. If Trump believed the 2020 election was stolen, why hasn’t he prosecuted anyone over it? “Has he ever prosecuted ANYONE from the 2020 election???” she wrote, followed by an all caps “NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!” She noted that Trump now controls the Justice Department and said he is complaining about the same voting machines he blamed six years ago “as he attempts to build the same narrative.”
She went straight to the people who paid the price for believing him. She said his failure to prosecute anyone “ought to make some of you very angry especially those of you who lost personal money, personal life relationships, and even went to prison for Trump as you fought against the 2020 election.”
Then she offered her own explanation for the losses. Greene claimed that something like 14 million Trump and Republican voters stayed home this year because they couldn’t support Trump and the party anymore. That number is her estimate and has not been verified. She also alleged that Trump’s political team saw polls showing Republicans would lose but hid how bad it was, because the team makes money off rallies and fundraising. If he had known, she wrote, he might have changed course or stopped doing rallies every day. Still, she told readers not to feel too sorry for him. “His ego and pride are hurt and he knows the big Democrat victory is 100% on him,” she wrote.
Greene spent years pushing the very claims she now mocks. Before she ever won a seat in Congress, she posted support for QAnon, the conspiracy movement built on the false claim that a secret cabal of Democrats and elites ran a child trafficking ring and that Trump was secretly fighting them. She arrived in Washington in January 2021 and immediately backed Trump’s false claim that the 2020 election was stolen, joining the effort to object to certifying Joe Biden’s win on January 6. When voters later sued to keep her off the ballot over her role around January 6, she testified under oath, “We saw a tremendous amount of voter fraud.”
Weeks into her first term, the House voted to strip Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee assignments over her past posts, which included QAnon content and support for violence against Democratic lawmakers. She distanced herself from QAnon on the House floor, saying she had been “allowed to believe things that weren’t true.”
That didn’t slow her down. Over the next four years she became one of Trump’s loudest defenders in Congress. She called the people charged over January 6 political prisoners, attacked the prosecutors who charged Trump, and was floated as a possible running mate in 2024.
The break came in 2025 over the Epstein files. Greene joined Republicans Thomas Massie, Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace in signing a petition to force a House vote on releasing the government’s files on Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender, a vote Trump fought to stop. She also started criticizing her party on health care costs and foreign wars. In November 2025, Trump pulled his support, calling her “Wacky Marjorie” and later “Marjorie Traitor Greene,” and said he would back a challenger against her. A week later she announced she was leaving Congress, and her resignation took effect in January 2026.
Since then, Marjorie Taylor Greene has become one of Trump’s sharpest critics on the right. In February she said she could see him trying to cancel the midterms. In October she warned that his record could cost Republicans both chambers. Last week, Republicans lost both.
Her transformation has been something to watch. The woman who once promoted QAnon and fought to overturn 2020 is now telling MAGA voters that Trump’s machine talk is the same story he sold them six years ago, and that the people who went to prison for believing it got nothing for their loyalty.
