Marjorie Taylor Greene drops 19-tweet rant defending her decision to back Kevin McCarthy's deal
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Tuesday pushed back against critics of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) debt ceiling deal.
In a 19-tweet rant, Greene said that she stood with Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Jim Jordan (R-OH) to back the debt ceiling bill because it would give the Republicans a "tool" to curb spending in the future.
"For me, along with other strong conservatives like @Jim_Jordan, @WarrenDavidson, @RepThomasMassie, and many others, we see this as an opportunity to make real changes when we are fighting with practically both hands tied behind our backs," she wrote.
Greene has been at odds with other members of the Freedom Caucus who do not support a deal to raise the debt limit.

"And I have to inform you these tools are being given to our entire conference by @SpeakerMcCarthy and the leadership team," she continued. "I completely understand the skepticism because I had it too, but things are different."
"I know what every hard-working American knows. Rome was not built in a day, and problems don’t get solved overnight. It takes tenacious hard work and a commitment to never give up," Greene added. "This is a game of inches, and I intend for all of us to win."
