Firebrand Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene has issued a surprising statement critical of President Donald Trump.
The Georgia congresswoman is known for her loyal support of the two-time president and her devout defense of his MAGA policy platform.
Displaying her faithfulness, Greene likened Trump to Jesus Christ during the president's high-profile legal battles last year.
'The Democrats and the fake news media want to constantly talk about 'President Trump is a convicted felon,'' she said at a Trump rally last year.
'Well, you want to know something? The man that I worship is also a convicted felon. And he was murdered on a Roman cross.'
It now appears that Greene's faith in the 78-year-old president has been shaken.
On Friday, she issued a scathing statement putting distance in between her and the commander-in-chief.
'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,' Greene, wrote on X alongside a long list of complaints.

Greene slammed Trump for possibly involving the U.S. in another conflict with Iran and for not forcing Ukraine to pay the U.S. back for aide and arms used in its war with Russia

'I campaigned for no more foreign wars,' Greene wrote. 'And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran.'
Her comment comes as the Trump administration has sought to address Iran's nuclear program.
The White House has noted it is diplomatically attempting to find a solution to prevent Iran from enriching its own uranium.
The administration fears that if Iran continues its refining capability, it is only a matter of time before the Middle Eastern country can achieve enrichment levels needed to make nuclear weapons.
Though some, like Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., have suggested the U.S. simply airstrike the Iranian nuclear sites, the White House is adamant that a deal can be made to force the country to import uranium for energy production.
'Didn't we learn our lesson when we went to war in Iraq and killed Saddam Hussein because of 'weapons of mass destruction?' Did we ever find any?' Greene said.
The Georgian also stressed her distaste for the White House's recently announced rare Earth minerals deal with Ukraine, noting how the embattled nation has not committed to pay back the U.S. for the billions in aid and arms that have been provided to the Eastern European country.
'Why on earth would we go over and occupy Ukraine and spend an untold amount of future American taxpayer dollars defending and mining their minerals as well as potentially putting American lives at risk and future war?' Greene asked.

'Why don’t we just mine our own rare earth minerals that are tied up on federal lands that the government confiscated years ago?' she continued.
The Trump ally also expressed her displeasure that the COVID-19 vaccines still have FDA approval though the treatment 'does not stop people from catching COVID.'
Greene also shared that she does not think the White House is doing enough to combat 'the evil transgender assault against our children.'
'This should be an all out effort by Republicans to end this insanity,' she posted.
The congresswoman also aired her concerns with the pace of election integrity reforms and the 'rogue judicial system.'
Her over 650-word note concluded with a dire warning from the Republican.
'When you are losing MTG, you are losing the base,' Greene wrote. 'And Trump isn’t on the ballot in the future, so do the math on that.'
