Former representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) criticized the president Donald Trump after the U.S. military confirmed that three U.S. service members had been killed during an ongoing overseas combat operation.
US troops killed during Operation Epic Fury
On Sunday, the U.S. Central Command said in a statement that three U.S. service members “were killed in action” and five others were seriously injured as part of “Operation Epic Fury.”
Greene shared the update X and expressed condolences for the troops, while condemning the broader policy decision.
“My God, these poor military members and their poor families. I am sorry for them and I pray for them,” she wrote.
Greene wrote, “Now American soldiers are dead.”
Greene criticizes Trump for foreign war policy
On Saturday, Greene criticized Trump and his administration for abandoning campaign promises to prevent foreign wars and regime change, arguing that voters were promised an “America First” focus but see continued military involvement abroad.
In a post on X she wrote: “We said: no more foreign wars, no more regime change!” allege that the administration has acted contrary to these commitments.
Greene questioned the justification for the conflict with Iran and dismissed warnings about nuclear threats as repeated political rhetoric.
She argued that war would not solve domestic problems such as inflation, debt, housing costs, AI job losses, or health and addiction crises.
She also criticized both major parties for federal spending, COVID-era policies, accountability and transparency surrounding issues related to financier Jeffrey Epstein.
