Marjorie Taylor Greene ramps up war with MAGA foot soldiers plotting to primary her: report

Add hardcore supporters of Donald Trump to the long list of foes of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) as they gear up to find an even further right candidate to oppose her in the 2024 election.

According to a report from the Daily Beast's Zachary Petrizzo and Ursula Perano, Taylor Greene's ascension as a key ally of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has cast her as a sellout to the MAGA faithful and she is returning fire as criticism of her grows from former allies.

The controversial Georgia lawmaker known for her incessant bomb-throwing since she entered Congress is becoming the focus of anger in MAGA world that has now exploded after she backed off supporting releasing all of the government's Jan 6 video to the public.

Taylor Greene's transformation has led to former Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon calling for her to face a primary challenge, telling fans on his podcast show she needs to be replaced by someone who is "Real MAGA."

According to the Beast's report, "The far-right instigators who spent years cheering Greene on as a martyr of their cause now say she’s lost the plot. They’re fuming about her support for McCarthy’s debt limit deal, which passed last week on a bipartisan basis, and her coziness with McCarthy in general, which was illustrated in January when she supported him for speaker on all 15 ballots."

The Daily Beast has also obtained a text message sent by Greene to Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) -- and it shows that she's fighting back.

“I have almost the same identical voting record as Thomas Massie, the most fiscally conservative member of Congress. And I voted with him on this bill. And Bannon, who was senior counsel to Trump in the WH and responsible for the first debt ceiling increase bc Bannon is reckless and no where near fiscally responsible, is now telling everyone I should be primaried," she wrote. "I just had a town hall in Cobb County last night in the most populated area in my district and it was extremely successful. Standing ovation when I went in and standing ovation when I left.”

Addressing the attacks further, she ranted, "Steve, [failed GOP candidate Laura] Loomer, and any other POS attacking me will not beat me. Because of that people have been reaching out to me because they don’t like what Steve is doing to me… I’m at a place in my life where removing toxic and bad people out of my life makes me very happy.”

The Beast report adds, "Greene’s aggression toward Bannon and Loomer is at least well-founded. Both are now working to take her job after the congresswoman started aligning herself more with McCarthy. And both are calling attention to a version of Greene that listeners of Bannon’s WarRoom podcast or followers of Loomer’s radical right antics may not love."
