Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, R-Ga., on Tuesday excoriated President Donald Trump over his continued endorsement of establishment Republicans over pro-Trump candidates.

"Trump’s endorsements do not drain the swamp, his endorsements solidify the swamp and ensure the swamp is never drained," she posted on X. "
And no he is not being deceived by his team.
It’s not sabotage when he chooses the candidates and controls the agenda."

Greene made the remarks reacting to a video from pundit Daniel Horowitz, stating that Trump could end congressional obstruction "by endorsing against all these guys. Instead, he endorses against the challengers that are coming to serve as the cavalry."

Trump has repeatedly endorsed establishment candidates throughout his political tenure, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., whom pro-Trump figures almost unanimously condemn as a neoconservative and RINO.

On the other hand, Trump endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow, R-La., this week in a primary challenge to Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., who voted to impeach him in 2021.
