Marjorie Taylor Greene Puts Anti-Trump Republicans on Notice: ‘We Are Completely Eradicating Them from the Party’

 

Controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told NBC News’s Vaughn Hillyard on Tuesday that the GOP will be “eradicating” all party members who do not fully embrace Donald Trump.

“Donald Trump does not like dissent, even internally among his own campaign. Donald Trump is willing to throw anybody off the cliff. But I think in a way that we understand those attributes to be, somebody who is, you know, temperamental, great. And many of his supporters believe that that is exuding strength,” Hillyard began, recalling interviews he’s had in New Hampshire with Trump supporters.

“And it is tough for these other candidates throughout this last year to push back on that strength and one other sound. But I wanted to let you hear I had the chance to talk with Marjorie Taylor Greene, the congresswoman from Georgia, in which I asked her about the future of Nikki Haley and the Republican Party. Take a listen,” Hillyard added before rolling his interview with Greene.

“This is a referendum on the Republican Party, and that’s something I’ll be saying in my speech tonight. This is a true change for the Republican Party. It says that not only do we support President Trump, we support his policies. And any Republican that isn’t willing to adapt these policies we are completely eradicating from the party. So it’s up to Nikki Haley, what she does,” Greene said in the clip.

“We are eradicating them from the party. And she said that she didn’t believe that Nikki Haley had a future in the Republican Party or in a future Trump administration,” Hillyard said, reacting to the clip.

MSNBC host Willie Geist agreed, “Yeah, that’s no ambiguity there from Marjorie Taylor Greene. It does feel like this is a last stand, that this is a moment. If you look at it from the other side, that’s Marjorie Taylor Greene’s view. If you listen to Nikki Haley and particularly, frankly, from Governor Sununu, who is a loud and strong advocate for her, this is a moment of choosing for the Republican Party.”

“If Nikki Haley loses the argument tonight, there’s no going back. It’s Donald Trump’s nomination. It’s Donald Trump’s party and perhaps Donald Trump’s country again if he is elected president,” Geist concluded.
