Marjorie Taylor Greene continues ‘media blitz from hell’ by bashing Republican men

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defended herself against criticism from within her own party, with a direct rebuke of “weak Republican men.”

The fiery Georgia congresswoman easily speaks her mind and staunchly defends her views, even if that seems to get under the skin of some of her GOP colleagues.

“My district knows I ran for Congress trashing Republicans,” Greene said in an interview with The Washington Post. “They voted for me because they agreed with that. My district’s not surprised.”

The newspaper noted that the lawmaker is on “what some Republicans see as a media blitz from hell.”

Greene has broken with Republicans on some high-profile issues and has openly disagreed with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La) on several occasions. A vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, Greene noted a marked difference between how the president treats women in his administration and how she feels she and other conservative women are viewed by GOP men.

“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 said.

“There’s a lot of weak Republican men and they’re more afraid of strong Republican women. So they always try to marginalize the strong Republican women that actually want to do something and actually want to achieve,” she added.

“They’re always intimidated by stronger Republican women because we mean it and we will do it and we will make them look bad,” she said.

The congresswoman also sees a “night and day” difference in how women are treated by Johnson and how former speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) interacted with them.

“McCarthy carefully recruited and boosted talented women, she said. Meanwhile, women have been pushed aside under new leadership,” WaPo reported. “In the House, only one Republican woman chairs a committee – 82-year-old Virginia Foxx, of the Rules Committee. In contrast, five women are the top Democrats on committees. That’s a drop off from last Congress, when three GOP women were chairs.”

“I want to earn my position,” Greene told the outlet, saying she did not believe in playing “the woman card.”

Michigan Rep. Lisa McClain, the Republican conference chair, openly disagreed with Greene’s assessment of the speaker.

“Speaker Johnson has empowered women by treating them — and all members — with the respect they have earned,” she said in a statement. “He believes in merit, not identity politics, which has allowed countless women to serve alongside him and advise him.”

Greene explained in a CNN appearance last week that she does not need to be a “cheerleader” for her party but was elected to represent her constituents.

Our country is divided because Washington forgot who it works for.

I haven’t. I work for the people who sent me, my district.

They’re fed up with the D.C. drama. They want lower prices, affordable health, home, and auto insurance, and leaders who put AMERICANS first. pic.twitter.com/VHgl0zhwym

Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) have recently praised some of Greene’s remarks, earning more criticism from her GOP colleagues.

“It does seem to many of us that she’s had a surprisingly enlightened few weeks,” Jeffries told MSNBC this week.
