Georgia firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R, slammed the Trump administration on Friday over its recent foreign policy moves, warning them that the voter base "was not happy" about U.S. involvement with Ukraine and Iran.

Greene shared her frustration with the current administration in a lengthy rant on social media, stating that the Washington's actions did not align with how she campaigned. She notably did not mention Trump by name. The rant comes after the Treasury Department announced the U.S. had signed a minerals deal with Ukraine earlier this week, and amid concern the U.S. could be heading toward a war with Iran.

"I represent the base and when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy," Greene posted to X. "I campaigned for no more foreign wars. And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran. I don’t think we should be bombing foreign countries on behalf of other foreign countries, especially when they have their own nuclear weapons and massive military strength."

She also slammed the government for not focusing more on Americans by letting COVID-19 vaccines still have Food & Drug Administration approval, and not taking stronger action against transgender care for minors. 

"Most normal people in this country can’t even comprehend how it’s allowed to happen to kids who by law can’t even get a tattoo, drive, or vote," Greene wrote. "And how did so many of our teachers turn into the predators themselves that groom children with gender lies? This should be an all out effort by Republicans to end this insanity."

The congresswoman additionally questioned whether judges and the former Justice Department would be held accountable for the lawfare directed against Americans and urged Congress to vote on government spending.  

“When you are losing [Marjorie Taylor Greene], you are losing the base. And Trump isn’t on the ballot in the future, so do the math on that,” she concluded.
