DOGE Chair Greene Announces Hearing on USA Fencing Allowing Biological Men in Women's Events

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to slam congressional Republicans, recently calling her male colleagues "weak" as she continues to criticize Speaker Mike Johnson's strategy during the shutdown.

"My district knows I ran for Congress trashing Republicans," Greene said in a recent interview. "They voted for me because they agreed with that. My district is not surprised."

According to the Washington Post, the attacks also have to do with some disillusionment on the way she and other female Republicans, including Rep. Elise Stefanik, are being treated. She believes they are being punished or ignored while "weak" counterparts are rewardde.

"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," Greene told the outlet.

"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."

In another passage of the interview, Greene compared former speaker Kevin McCarthy with Johnson, saying that the former boosted female Republicans, while the new leadership pushes them away. However, the outlet quoted Rep. Lisa McClain, the conference chair, who said the claim is "ridiculous."

"Speaker Johnson has empowered women by treating them — and all members — with the respect they have earned," she said. "He believes in merit, not identity politics, which has allowed countless women to serve alongside him and advise him."

Johnson has also pushed back against Greene in public, particularly over her criticism of the party's plans for health care during the government shutdown.

Greene claimed Republicans don't have plans for health care and should be working on addressing the issue: "When it comes to the point where families are spending anywhere from $1,500 to $2,000 a month and looking at hikes coming on their insurance premiums, I think that's unforgivable," she said last week.

Johnson rejected the claim, saying the lawmaker does not serve on committees that deal with health care "and she's probably not read in on some of that."

Greene then escalated the feud further, saying "the reality is they never talk about it" and the committee "working on health insurance and the industry, it doesn't happen in a (secure facility)." "It's not a major secret," she added, noting that Johnson hasn't called her to address her concerns.

The Republican Rep. went on to say the party "has no solution" and is "not something that we talk about frequently, but it is a reality for Americans, and it's something that I don't think we can ignore."

In another passage of the interview, Greene said the Senate has some of the blame for the shutdown and that Republicans could end it by disposing the filibuster, which requires at least 60 votes to pass most legislation.

"They can open the government any time they want. They can use the nuclear option in the Senate. They can reopen the government. This is a bunch of drama and political theater, so I'm willing to call that out, too," Greene concluded.
