Civil War Inside MAGA?
The feud follows Greene’s vocal opposition to potential U.S. military engagement in Iran. She recently declared that Trump risks igniting a “MAGA civil war” if he sides with pro-intervention Republicans. Levin, on the other hand, has pushed for a more hawkish national defense posture, criticizing “America First” leaders for undermining U.S. strength.
This divide reflects a deeper schism within MAGA between isolationist populists and conservative interventionists—echoing debates that split the GOP during the Bush and Obama eras.
Right-Wing Media as Ideological Frontline
Fox News and social platforms are emerging as battlefields for this ideological war. Activists like Laura Loomer have attacked Greene, calling her disloyal to the movement’s core. Greene, meanwhile, continues to position herself as the true heir to Trump’s populist mantle, especially on foreign policy and cultural issues.
As the 2025 election cycle heats up, the MAGA brand—once unified under Trump—now faces multiple claims to its throne. Whether this internal discord splinters the movement or forces a new consensus remains to be seen.
