Conservative lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has been one of biggest, most vocal supporters of the Republican Party.
But the outspoken Georgia lawmaker now believes the Republican Party is becoming “weak” — all thanks to her male colleagues on Capitol Hill.
In a blistering interview with The Washington Post, Greene caid that “a lot of” male Republicans in Congress are “weak” and intimidated by “strong Republican women.”
Greene’s shocking statement has seemingly escalated her feud with fellow GOP party leaders during the ongoing federal government shutdown.
During her interview, Greene argued that GOP women are sidelined while “weak” men are rewarded, singling out Speaker Mike Johnson’s leadership and contrasting it with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s.
While a vocal conservative who is known for her “America first” platform, Green also said she’s backed Democratic-led efforts to extend certain health-care subsidies and is pushing to force a vote to release Justice Department files related to Jeffrey Epstein — moves Johnson and President Donald Trump oppose.
“There’s a lot of weak Republican men and they’re more afraid of strong Republican women,” Greene said.
“So they always try to marginalize the strong Republican women that actually want to do something and actually want to achieve.”
Greene said Johnson recently texted her after she publicly urged the Senate to ditch its 60-vote filibuster to end the shutdown with GOP votes.
Johnson brushed off Greene’s claim, saying they had a “good discussion” as “colleagues and friends.”
“Whereas President Trump has a very strong, dominant style — he’s not weak at all — a lot of the men here in the House are weak,” Greene added.
Republican Conference Chair Lisa McClain pushed back on Greene’s claims, calling her gender-bias claims “ridiculous” and saying Johnson “has empowered women by treating them — and all members — with the respect they have earned,” adding that he “believes in merit, not identity politics.”
Greene, who previously tried to oust Johnson from the speakership, said her constituents support her fights with party leadership: “My district’s not surprised.”
This isn’t the first time Greene has vocally called out her fellow Republicans.
In a phone interview with The Daily Mail in August, Greene dished on why she’s not happy with how things are going with the Republican Party, MAGA, and even President Trump — and why there is a realistic chance she doesn’t belong anymore.
“I don’t know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I’m kind of not relating to Republican Party as much anymore,” she revealed.
“I don’t know which one it is.”
Greene admitted during the interview that her loyalty to President Trump is still strong, but sees warning sign that the GOP is out of step with the MAGA base.
Greene has been a vocal advocate for the MAGA base and she says it’s audience she feels most in-tune with. She has the largest social media following of any Republican woman, boasting close to 7.5 million followers on X alone.
“I think the Republican Party has turned its back on America First and the workers and just regular Americans,” she said.
Greene first indicated in the August tell-all that Republican women like herself have a finger on the pulse of the party that the ‘good ole boys’ in the party don’t.
“I think there’s other women in our party that are really sick and tired of the way men treat Republican women,” she said.
“I think there’s other women – Republican women – and I’m just giving my opinion here, who are really sick and tired of them,” she continued.
