House Republicans are growing sick of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) antics following the chaotic fight for the speaker's gavel.
The Georgia Republican had become a close ally of ousted speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), which alienated her from her ex-friends in the House Freedom Caucus, and other Republicans already disliked her, so now Greene suddenly finds herself with few friends in the GOP caucus, reported The Daily Beast.
“There is no one I have heard from, dozens of members, who are happy with her, that trust her [or] confide in her,” said one Republican lawmaker who was once friends with Greene. “She’s continually seeking attention, building herself up while tearing others down. I have cut ties completely.”
Greene feuded with GOP lawmakers who broke against her resolution to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) over her controversial comments about the war in the Gaza Strip, and Republicans questioned her nasty personal attacks on fellow conservatives.

“You voted to kick me out of the Freedom Caucus, but keep CNN wannabe Ken Buck and vaping groping Lauren Boebert and you voted with the Democrats to protect Terrorist Tlaib,” Greene posted on X, responding to a comment from Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX). “You hate Trump, certified Biden’s election, and could care less about J6 defendants being persecuted.”
A GOP lawmaker who was formerly a Greene ally confronted her over a list of 23 Republicans who broke with her on the Tlaib censure, and a source said “she responded viscerally.”
“She’s creating her own enemies through unprovoked, unwarned, and unsubstantiated attacks,” said the GOP lawmaker who had confronted her. “Embarrassing herself through launching attacks she later has to retract due to their inaccuracies.”
MAGA Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) agreed that Greene was losing friends in Congress, but her star remains undiminished in Donald Trump's inner circle.
“Trumpworld loves our dear MTG,” said one Trump adviser.
“She’s the most loyal soldier in Congress and has been there since day one,” said another Trumpworld operative. “She is often his mouthpiece.”
