Marjorie Taylor Greene Attacks Republican Men As Rift With Republicans Grows
The claws are coming out…
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) lashed out at some of her critics who have taken issue with her upcoming appearances on The View and Real Time with Bill Maher.
On Thursday, View co-host Whoopi Goldberg stunned her audience when she announced that Greene would be a guest on the show on Tuesday.
“I don’t know how many things we agree on,” Goldberg said amid the ongoing government shutdown. “But I know the one thing that she and I and all of us at this table agree on is this should not be affecting the American people.”
“I look forward to joining the ladies on The View on Tuesday!” Greene tweeted.
Greene will also appear on Real Time on Friday.
On Thursday evening, the lawmaker responded to some of her critics on X, who objected to the TV hits, given that the programs’ hosts are liberals:
There are pathetic Republican men (mostly paid social media influencers) attacking me for going on Bill Maher’s show and The View.
Here is my voting card and nothing has changed about me, I’m 1,000,000% America ONLY.
Sorry I’m not sorry I don’t obey Republican men’s demands that I, as a woman, don’t remain seen but not heard.
The text was accompanied by a screenshot of her “A” voting grade by the Conservative Review.
Greene has been a vocal critic of her party’s lack of a plan to control rising healthcare costs. The current government shutdown began on Oct. 1, when the Senate failed to muster the 60 votes needed to overcome a procedural hurdle to advance a government funding bill. Democrats, who have 47 seats, are withholding the necessary seven votes until Republicans agree to extend healthcare premium subsidies for Obamacare recipients. However, the GOP has yet to budge.
On Wednesday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) called on people to ignore Republican firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and suggested her politics are becoming increasingly liberal.
Greene’s criticism of her Republican colleagues has escalated in recent days amid the government shutdown. Speaking on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Cruz urged people not to “spend much time worrying about what Marjorie is saying.”
“What I’ve found is that whenever an elected official decides that they are going to turn on Israel and hate Israel, you will very quickly see every other policy out of their mouth become very, very liberal,” Cruz continued. “And so suddenly Marjorie is for massive government spending and taxes and open borders and amnesty.”
“OK, fine,” he said. “That is not where the American people are. Where the American people are is real simple. We’re on Day 29 of the stupidest shutdown.”
Cruz followed Sen. Bernie Moreno’s (R-Ohio) plea for Greene to stop openly attacking House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).
“If this is something she‘s passionate about, put pen to paper, write a bill, present an option,” Moreno said during an appearance on CNN’s “The Source.” “Don‘t just criticize what other people are doing.”
