Marjorie Taylor Greene unveils new AFAO slogan to replace MAGA
Share and Follow

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a prominent Republican lawmaker, has introduced a fresh rallying cry for party members in the wake of her recent fallout with former President Donald Trump.

In a tweet posted on Saturday afternoon, Greene unveiled the acronym “AFAO!!” which stands for “America First America Only.” This new slogan signals her intensified focus on national priorities.

This development follows Greene’s increasingly vocal dissatisfaction with Trump, a significant shift given her past staunch support for him.

The tension between the two reached a peak on Friday night when Trump publicly distanced himself from Greene, describing her as “a ranting lunatic” and formally withdrawing his endorsement.

In response, Greene criticized Trump, suggesting he was using their rift as a diversion from his reluctance to release the Epstein files, further escalating the ongoing clash between the two political figures.

It now appears that Greene is launching her own breakaway Republican movement – AFAO – after being a MAGA stalwart for years. 

The Georgia Republican has clashed with Trump over many ‘America First’ issues in recent weeks and is unhappy with the president’s foreign policy focus and wants him to prioritize domestic issues.

She has called Trump’s rollout of trade tariffs ‘bumpy’ and has also disagreed with Trump’s contention that inflation is under control.

Responding to Trump’s comments, Greene told NBC News this week: ‘I’m America First, America Only. Hardcore.’

She has also said Republicans need a plan to address healthcare costs.  

‘My heart is with Americans who struggle to afford life in America today,’ Greene wrote in a tweet on Saturday afternoon. 

‘After tyrannical covid lockdowns and gigantic government spending bailouts, inflation has driven cost out of control, while American jobs have been replaced by visa holders and illegals. AFAO!!!’

Their bust-up appeared complete on Friday after Trump withdrew his endorsement of Greene, citing her recent criticism of his agenda.

‘I am withdrawing my support and endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the great state of Georgia,’ Trump posted on Truth Social late on Friday.

In a withering social media post he referred to Greene as ‘Wacky’ and a ‘ranting lunatic’ who complained he would not take her calls. 

He continued his criticism on Saturday with two more social media posts, calling her a ‘Lightweight Congresswoman,’ ‘Traitor’ and a ‘disgrace’ to the Republican Party.

Trump posted that all he sees Greene doing is ‘complain, complain, complain.’

He said the conflict between them began after he shared a poll with her indicating she had little chance of winning a Senate or gubernatorial race without his endorsement, which he did not intend to give. 

In response, on Saturday Greene accused Trump of putting her life in danger, saying his online criticism had triggered a wave of threats against her.

Greene said she has been contacted by private security firms warning about her safety.

‘Aggressive rhetoric attacking me has historically led to death threats and multiple convictions of men who were radicalized by the same type (of) rhetoric being directed at me right now,’ Greene posted to X. ‘This time by the President of the United States.’

Greene accused Trump of lying about her and trying to intimidate other Republicans before a House of Representatives vote next week on releasing files related to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender who was friendly with Trump in the 1990s and 2000s before they had a falling out.

On Saturday, Greene wrote that she now has a ‘small understanding’ of the fear and pressure felt by Epstein´s victims.

‘As a Republican, who overwhelmingly votes for President Trump’s bills and agenda, his aggression against me which also fuels the venomous nature of his radical internet trolls (many of whom are paid), this is completely shocking to everyone,’ she wrote.

On Wednesday, Greene was one of only four House Republicans who joined Democrats in signing a petition to force a vote on releasing the full Justice Department files related to Epstein.

Trump has called the furor over Epstein, who died in a jail cell in 2019, a hoax pushed by Democrats.

He suggested in his Truth Social post that conservative voters in Greene’s district might consider a primary challenger and that he would support the right candidate against her in next year’s congressional election. 

Online backlash from Trump supporters is not unusual. 

Right-wing influencers and conservative media personalities have become a potent online force in amplifying talking points and false claims, and attempting to discredit Trump’s rivals.

Greene has dismissed speculation that she is positioning herself for a 2028 presidential bid, saying she is focused on her district in the northwest corner of the state.
