About this episode
What drove Marjorie Taylor Greene to publicly break with Trump after years of unwavering loyalty? On this episode of The Tara Palmeri Show, Canadian political commentator Dean Blundell joins Tara Palmeri to unpack Pete Hegseth's failed "press pledge"—rebuffed by Fox News and others—sparking Pentagon leaks. They zero in on MTG's heel turn against Trump: blasting deportations hitting her construction firm, fuming over snubbed GOP roles and a blocked Georgia Senate run. Palmeri's Mar-a-Lago encounter and sources reveal her grievance-fueled split from the boys' club—read the full exclusive reporting here: https://www.tarapalmeri.com/p/hell-hath-no-fury-marjorie-taylor. The duo covers No Kings protests clashing with Trump's parades, ICE raid trauma amid global rallies, and free speech fears. On Epstein files, can MTG force votes past MAGA Mike—or face Trump's veto and DOJ redactions? Leaks hold the truth, as explored in The Red Letter on Substack. What personal grudges do you think are fueling more GOP cracks against Trump? Share your thoughts in the comments.
