    From the article:

    In a rare rebuke, the Republican congresswoman has broken ranks to suggest the administration was losing its base.

    “I represent the base and when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy,” she wrote in a lengthy post on X.

    Ms Taylor Greene, one of the loudest voices of the Maga movement, said she was “frustrated” with the direction of the administration, claiming it was not delivering promises she had campaigned on.

    She said: “When you are losing MTG, you are losing the base. And Trump isn’t on the ballot in the future, so do the math on that.”

    Ms Taylor Greene compared the signing of the Ukrainian minerals deal to the invasion of Iraq, and questioned why Mr Trump’s team had not pulled approvals for the Covid vaccine, which she claimed “does not stop people from catching Covid”.

    She added: “I campaigned for no more foreign wars. And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran.

    “And on top of that, now we are told that we have signed a deal for mineral rights in Ukraine, in order to pay us back for the hundreds of billions of dollars that we gave Ukraine.

    “Why don’t we just mine our own rare earth minerals that are tied up on federal lands that the government confiscated years ago?”
