Following Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 primary elections, Marjorie Taylor Greene has disclosed that some Republicans have altered their perceptions of the president.
Georgia Congresswoman Greene has been engaged in a public dispute with Trump over the past months, resulting in the president retracting his endorsement of his GOP colleague.
Trump expressed that he did not have the time to address her concerns and shifted focus to discussing his accomplishments since returning to the presidency.
In a Truth Social post, Trump remarked, “All I see ‘Wacky’ Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN! It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!).”
He further criticized her as a ‘ranting lunatic,’ leading Greene to announce her resignation from Congress a few days later.
Greene recently participated in an interview with CBS on 60 Minutes, where she discussed the private views of some Republicans regarding Trump.
During the conversation, host Lesley Stahl inquired about what Greene’s fellow politicians say about the president in private.
“I think they’re terrified to step out of line and get nasty Truth Social posts about them,” Greene commented regarding some of her colleagues.
She added, “I’ve watched a lot of my colleagues go from making fun of [Trump], making fun of how he talks, making fun of me constantly for supporting him. When he won the primary in 2024, they all decided to start kissing his a*s and putting on a MAGA hat for the first time.”
Trump promptly reacted to the 60 Minutes interview, labeling Greene as a ‘rotten apple’ in response to her recent comments.
He wrote on Truth Social, “The only reason Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown (Green turns Brown under stress!) went BAD is that she was JILTED by the President of the United States (Certainly not the first time she has been jilted!),”
Trump continued, “Too much work, not enough time, and her ideas are, NOW, really BAD – She sort of reminds me of a Rotten Apple! Marjorie is not AMERICA FIRST or MAGA, because nobody could have changed her views so fast, and her new views are those of a very dumb person.”
He further criticized Greene, stating she ‘made many really stupid statements’ and accused her of having a low IQ.
Efforts have been made to reach out to Greene’s office for comment on the situation.
