Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is deepening her rift with fellow Republicans, accusing male colleagues of being “weak” and afraid of “strong Republican women.” In an interview with The Washington Post, Greene expressed frustration with House Speaker Mike Johnson and other GOP leaders as the government shutdown entered its third week.
Greene said Republicans “aren’t being aggressive enough” to advance their agenda despite controlling Congress and the White House under President Donald Trump. She also called for ending the Senate’s 60-vote filibuster rule to resolve the shutdown, a proposal Johnson reportedly dismissed as unrealistic.
In a rare bipartisan stance, Greene sided with Democrats seeking to extend healthcare subsidies — the core issue stalling funding talks. She also criticized GOP resistance to releasing Justice Department files on Jeffrey Epstein, saying many Republicans “don’t want to get yelled at by the president.”
Greene alleged Republican women, including Rep. Elise Stefanik, are marginalized by party leadership. “There’s a lot of weak Republican men,” she said. “They’re more afraid of strong Republican women.”
