Marjorie Taylor Greene Returns to The View After Resignation, Blasts Trump Over Venezuela

NEW YORK — Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene returned to The View this week for her first major television appearance since announcing her resignation from Congress, using the platform to explain her decision to step away from office and to sharply criticize U.S. policy toward Venezuela.

Greene told the panel she resigned because Washington had become, in her words, broken beyond repair, arguing that internal party politics and endless foreign entanglements had replaced accountability to voters. She said she no longer believed Congress was capable of representing the interests of everyday Americans and described her departure as a personal and political reset rather than a retreat.

A central focus of the interview was Venezuela. Greene blasted recent U.S. actions and rhetoric involving the South American nation, warning against military involvement or regime change efforts. She argued that Venezuela has repeatedly been used as a political talking point by both parties while ordinary Americans struggle with inflation, crime, and border security at home.

“This is not America First,” Greene said, asserting that U.S. leaders are too willing to involve the country in foreign conflicts that have little direct benefit to American citizens. She questioned why Washington continues to focus on Venezuela while failing to confront issues closer to home, including drug trafficking and domestic economic pressures.

The discussion quickly became tense as hosts challenged Greene on her past rhetoric and her break with former allies. Greene responded by saying opposition to interventionist foreign policy should not be dismissed as extremism, framing her position as consistent with a populist, anti-war message.

Greene also addressed speculation about her political future, saying she has no immediate plans to seek office but intends to remain active in public debate. She described her role going forward as speaking freely without party constraints and holding leaders accountable from outside government.

The appearance drew swift reaction online, with supporters praising Greene for criticizing U.S. involvement abroad and critics accusing her of oversimplifying complex international issues. Regardless, her return to The View underscored her continued ability to command national attention even after leaving Congress, and highlighted growing divisions within American politics over foreign policy, party loyalty, and the role of the United States on the global stage.
