Marjorie Taylor Greene Admits the American People Are Still Hurting Under Trump: ‘Costs Have Not Come Down’

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) expressed concern Thursday that the cost of living has not come down under President Donald Trump, leaving some Americans feeling “hopeless for the future.”

Greene appeared on CNN Thursday for an extended interview with Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown.

“I am a Republican and I support the president,” Greene asserted before calling the cost of health insurance a “crisis.”

Greene said constituents are “telling us stories about how they’re already paying $2,000 a month with $10,000 deductibles. I’m getting phone calls from people that are saying if the ACA tax credits expire, they aren’t going to be able to have health insurance. They’re going to have to drop it. But I’m hearing from people on both sides, people already on the ACA and people that are already getting crushed by high health insurance premiums.”

Brown asked if Greene was “concerned about the cost of living that President Trump said he would lower?”

“Inflation crushed people in the past four-and-a-half years, and the costs have not come down,” Greene said, continuing:

I myself can tell you my apartment here in Washington, D.C., the electricity bill is $100 more than it was last year, because you can look at your own bill and look at at costs prices have not come down. That is a reality. People’s wages have not gone up. That’s another reality.

And so Americans are continuing to have a very difficult time getting by. And I’ll go a step further. I’m a mom. And so when it comes to what is affecting my adult children’s lives, who are 22, 26 and 28, I’m going to be 1,000% fighting for them over any politician in any party. And I can tell you right now that generation, they are barely making it and they’re very hopeless for their future.
