MTG Throws Trump Under The Bus

Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t siding with Trump on this one.

“I Would’ve Voted NO”: Greene Warns AI Clause in OBBB Threatens States’ Rights

Washington, D.C. — Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is speaking out after discovering a deeply troubling clause buried in President Trump’s 1,000+ page One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB) — one that she says violates core conservative values and strips states’ rights for the next 10 years.

Greene, who voted for the bill last month, says a hidden provision blocks states from regulating artificial intelligence (AI)—even as the technology rapidly advances with little oversight.

“I didn’t catch this section when I voted. But make no mistake: I would have voted NO if I knew this was in there,” Greene said Tuesday.

AI Regulation Ban: A Decade of Federal Overreach?

The provision in question reads:

“No State… may enforce… any law or regulation… limiting, restricting, or otherwise regulating artificial intelligence models… for a 10-year period.”

In simpler terms, this gives the federal government sole control over AI, while banning states from passing their own rules—even if AI becomes a threat to safety, privacy, or liberty.

For older Americans concerned about digital surveillance, automated decision-making, or data privacy, this is a wake-up call.

“This is dangerous,” Greene warned. “We have no idea what AI will be capable of in the next 10 years.”

Greene: “This Destroys Federalism—It’s a Betrayal of Conservative Principles”

In a follow-up post on X, Greene said:

“This strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI. That’s a violation of state rights and the Constitution. We should be reducing federal power, not expanding it.”

She added that if the Senate does not remove this AI regulation ban, she will oppose the final version when it comes back to the House.

“I won’t support any bill that kills states’ rights and hands more power to unelected D.C. bureaucrats.”

Critics and Allies React: “Read the Bill!”

After Greene admitted she had missed the provision when voting, critics on both sides pounced.

Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell posted:

“You have one job. To. Read. The. Bill.”

Even conservative commentator Dana Loesch responded, writing:

“Maybe instead of doing this, you should have read the bill.”

Elon Musk Joins the Fight: “A Disgusting Abomination”

Tech mogul Elon Musk, a longtime opponent of bloated government spending, also blasted the OBBB and the lawmakers who supported it.

“I’ve had enough. This bloated, wasteful spending bill from Congress is an absolute disgrace,” Musk wrote. “Those who supported it should be ashamed of themselves.”

What This Means for Conservative Americans

The hidden AI clause in the OBBB raises urgent questions for conservatives, constitutionalists, and older voters concerned about:

• Federal overreach
• Loss of local control
• AI’s unknown risks
• Erosion of American liberty

Greene’s stance reinforces a key conservative message: Washington must not control everything.

“Whether it’s Democrats or Republicans in charge—this cannot be allowed to happen,” she said.

Final Word: Will the Senate Fix It?

As the bill moves to the Senate, pressure is mounting on lawmakers to strip out the AI ban and restore the balance of power between states and Washington.

Greene made it clear:

“I trusted Republicans to protect federalism. This clause violates that trust.”
