On Thursday, Greene shared a post on X which included a list of US states that have decided to support Texas in their dispute over border control measures with the federal government.

"When I said we need a National Divorce, this is exactly what I'm talking about, and a serious example as to why," Greene wrote.

Her comments come after the White House urged US senators Thursday to reach a deal linking vital Ukraine aid to border security after reports that former president Donald Trump, who is seeking reelection, was trying to torpedo an agreement.

Last February, MTG laid out what a "national divorce" would look like, describing it as "a legal agreement to separate our ideological and political disagreements by states while maintaining our legal union."

Essentially, it is a means for far-right Republicans to get extreme, conservative policies implemented in red states without having to go through the democratic process.

She has since made similar arguments, including a post where she called on red states to "consider seceding from the union" on the same day that America remembered the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
