Marjorie Taylor Greene slams party and calls Republican men in Congress ‘weak’

In Washington Post interview, the far-right congresswoman said GOP men are ‘afraid of strong Republican women’

The far-right US congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is further distancing herself from her fellow Republicans and accusing men in her party of being “weak”.

In an interview with the Washington Post, Greene expressed her frustrations with Republicans, signaling her further deviation from the political strategies of her party, as the government shutdown beginning 1 October was slated to enter its third week.

Greene has been at odds with some Republican strategies since she campaigned for her seat representing Georgia’s 14th congressional district years back. In her view, the Republicans are not being aggressive enough to push forward their agenda, even as they control Congress and the White House since the beginning of Donald Trump’s second presidency in January.

In the interview with the Post, Greene highlighted her discontent with congressional leaders of her own party, particularly the House speaker, Mike Johnson, amid the ongoing government shutdown.
