Overview
- On CNN, Marjorie Taylor Greene said “nobody” in MAGA supports Operation Epic Fury and called President Trump’s decision a betrayal of the movement.
- Recent polling cited in the coverage shows broad backing on the right, including 85% of Republicans in Quinnipiac’s survey and roughly 90–91% support among MAGA identifiers in YouGov–Economist and NBC polls.
- Greene described the issue as generational, saying Baby Boomers who watch Fox News tend to favor the war while Gen X, millennials, and Gen Z are largely opposed.
- She claimed she has spoken to people “high up” in the Trump White House who privately oppose the war, without naming the officials.
- Media figures like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson argued the strikes served Israel’s interests, while President Trump rejected that framing and said he might have forced Israel’s hand.
