Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has had it with her GOP male colleagues in the House, calling them “weak” and afraid of their female counterparts.
“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,” the conservative firebrand told The Washington Post on Tuesday. “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.”
“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 continued.
Greene’s takedown is fueled in part by simmering tension with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who has stood in the way of a House vote potentially forcing the release of the Jeffery Epstein files ― which she and a few other GOP women support, in defiance of Trump.
She also bristled at the GOP’s refusal to play ball with Democrats on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies to keep premiums from skyrocketing. A deal would end the shutdown.
