Marjorie Taylor Greene blamed the Republican Party's midterm losses on President Donald Trump and the GOP officials she says have been "cheerleading" for him, according to Mediaite.
Greene, who resigned from Congress in January 2026, spoke to TMZ DC after Democrats won majorities in both the House and Senate. She called the result a "blue tsunami" and laid it squarely at the president's feet.
"It's Donald Trump's fault and this entire midterm election is a referendum on Donald Trump," Greene said. She added, "He told all voters to vote as if I'm on the ballot. Well, they did."
Greene was once one of Trump's most vocal allies in Congress. She has since broken with him on issues including the release of the Epstein files and the Iran war.
She told TMZ she had been "ostracized" by her party for pushing it to focus on issues like lowering health care costs. "And now they're finding out, they should have listened," Greene said.
Greene also accused Republicans of blindly backing the president. "Republicans just stood behind Trump, cheerleading, clapping like baby seals," she said.
Vice President JD Vance also pinned the losses on the war in Iran. "The reason we lost is the war," Vance wrote, adding, "The president himself said so last night."
Trump told reporters the war "probably" contributed to some Republican losses. He also said he would strike Iran again.
Greene represented Georgia's 14th District from 2021 until her resignation took effect Jan. 5, 2026. She announced her departure in late 2025 after a public falling-out with Trump.
