Tucker Carlson says he no longer supports the Republican Party.
That’s the same as Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
For a long time, I&#8217;ve been talking about ideological borders for conservatives, because words have meanings and political movements must have borders. It turns out these “Republicans” are self-deporting, which is a good thing, because what we don&#8217;t need in the party are people who won&#8217;t assimilate to our culture or our values and who would like our enemies to win.
Good riddance.
Vice President JD Vance was recently on Megyn Kelly&#8217;s show in order to trot out his defense of the Iran deal, and he said something interesting: that even if you disagree with the administration, you should vote Republican, because the alternative is to put Democrats in power. That makes sense.
Let’s put aside all of the nonsense that the vice president was peddling about how we really need a bunch of people who love the Iran deal to stay in, because otherwise the neocons are going to win, etc., etc.
The whole point of what people on the horseshoe Right, or the woke Right, are doing is to destroy the Republican Party from within, to throw their support to someone else in order to get the Republican Party to run after them.

I&#8217;m okay with people who are rabidly anti-American leaving the party. I don&#8217;t think we need them here. I think that if you came into the Republican Party because you were a refugee from your home party or from your home ideology, and we brought you in here as a kindness, and then you proceeded to take advantage of our system and proceeded to believe that we were going to change all of our principles for you, it&#8217;s time for you to self-deport.
Now, Tucker Carlson is self-deporting from the Republican Party. He&#8217;s very upset with the administration because the administration is not pro-Russia or pro-Iran enough for him.
Yesterday, he announced on the “Can&#8217;t Be Censored” podcast — I have to admit, I find it somewhat hilarious that there are podcasts with sizable audiences that claim that they&#8217;re being “censored” — that he no longer supports the Republican Party; he can&#8217;t because it&#8217;s just too immoral. A moral Republican Party would have sided with Hezbollah, Iran, and the Russians.
Don&#8217;t let the door hit you on the way out.
He said:
<blockquote>How could I or any American voters support a political party that&#8217;s not loyal to the United States, that puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens &#8230; 
I voted Republican my entire life. &#8230; I&#8217;ve been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican Party. &#8230; But there&#8217;s no defending this because it&#8217;s immoral. And it&#8217;s exactly the opposite of what a political party in a democracy is charged with doing, which is representing its own voters, its own citizens, its own nation. And they&#8217;re not doing that. So no, I&#8217;m out.</blockquote>
Tucker acts like he&#8217;s been a Republican for 35 years. That&#8217;s weird, because he was a registered Democrat from 2006 to 2020. He said he did that so he could vote for the Democrats in primaries and manipulate the system — except that Washington, D.C., where he was living, has a closed primary system.
I have some questions.
If the Republican Party will not support Vladimir Putin&#8217;s aspirations in Ukraine, if the Republican Party will not sing the glories of Russian bread and Russian subways and Russian hamburgers, if the Republican Party will not bend over for Qatar completely, if the Republican Party refuses to just cheer on the Iranians as they foster terrorism throughout the region, my goodness, what are we even doing here?
Marjorie Taylor Greene echoed, “There is [sic] a lot of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country. That does not mean we are turning into Democrats either. But we are done with the America Last Republican Party.”
Megyn Kelly told JD Vance that she never believed she should simply leave because she&#8217;s upset over what the Republicans are doing. But two weeks ago, she was with Sean Ryan talking about forming a horseshoe coalition with Ana Kasparian, who has tweeted support for terrorism.
The important point is that the Republican Party has certain principles. If you do not accord with those centralizing principles, e.g., peace through strength, then probably you shouldn&#8217;t be here. That&#8217;s okay. You can leave.
But you should not be the lodestar of a new Republican Party.
Self-deportation is a good policy for people who joined up for the wrong reasons in the first place.

Tucker Carlson&#8217;s popularity has collapsed and is in &#8220;absolute free fall&#8221; among Republican voters as President Trump blasts the former Fox News host as &#8220;<a href="https://nypost.com/2026/04/07/us-news/trump-tears-into-tucker-carlson-over-iran-war-claims/">a low IQ person that has absolutely no idea what’s going on.</a>&#8221;
The commentator&#8217;s favorability rating among Republican-leaning voters has dropped by a stunning 47 percentage points over the last two years, according to a <a href="https://www.uml.edu/docs/2026-Nat-Pol-March-Topline_tcm18-417813.pdf">poll</a> from YouGov and UMass Lowell. The poll was conducted at the end of March, before Trump&#8217;s full onslaught, but well into the war in Iran.
In March 2024, Carlson held a +54 favorability rating with conservative voters. Two years later, that figure has cratered to just +7, the poll shows.
The numbers reflect a trend that began with former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who resigned from Congress after a bitter split with the president. Trump-backed Republican Clay Fuller <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/voters-pick-replacement-for-former-trump-ally-marjorie-taylor-greene?author=Jacob+Wheeler&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=7&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Voters+Pick+Replacement+For+Former+Trump+Ally+Marjorie+Taylor+Greene">won the special election</a> Tuesday night to fill the seat.
CNN&#8217;s polling expert described Carlson as &#8220;electoral poison,&#8221; pointing to data showing that California Gov. Gavin Newsom would beat him by 11 percentage points in a general election. Vice President JD Vance, on the other hand, would win by 3 points over Newsom.
&#8220;When you go up against Donald Trump and you want to appeal to the Republican base, to quote the movie &#8216;Good Burger,&#8217; you&#8217;re going in the grinder, and that&#8217;s exactly what has happened to Tucker Carlson, who has absolutely collapsed among Republicans,&#8221; Enten said.

Kalshi prediction markets only give Carlson a five percent chance of securing the 2028 GOP nomination, with Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio running well ahead.
Republican voters &#8220;choose Donald Trump basically every single time,&#8221; Enten added, a point raised by conservative commentator Meghan McCain.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know how every single podcaster and influencer hasn&#8217;t realized by this time that republicans will choose Trump over them &#8211; absolutely every single time,&#8221; McCain said.

The fresh data comes after President Trump went scorched earth Thursday night on Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones, calling the four podcasters &#8220;low IQ,&#8221; &#8220;losers,&#8221; and &#8220;nut jobs.&#8221;
&#8220;They’ve all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren’t even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, they’re NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some &#8216;free&#8217; and cheap publicity,&#8221; Trump said in a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116376634773749603">Truth Social post</a>.

Do you consider yourself in a living hell right now?
We are in a war. Everyone in our country is temporarily suffering from somewhat higher gas prices. The other country has no functioning government, and is a terrorist state that shoots people in the streets.
But you can always count on the useful idiots, people who truly hate America. They think America should be less powerful in the world.
I can&#8217;t think of a single military conflict — including military conflicts with which I disagreed — where I hoped America would lose. I might have thought that the involvement was not correct, but the idea that it would be better for America to lose is anti-American.
Period.
Ryan Grim, a favorite on the horseshoe Right — the grievance party which has decided that isolationism is the way — comes from Drop Site News, which is a left-wing misinformation site. He responded to investor Shaun Maguire, who <a href="https://x.com/shaunmmaguire/status/2040599408094667233">asked</a>, “How did we get to the point where so many Americans are rooting against America?”
“If this is an honest question, I&#8217;d say Americans are rooting against America because we facilitated a genocide,” Grim <a href="https://x.com/Aakar__Patel/status/2040622155894026514">declared</a>.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/bss-ep-2401-sub?elementPosition=1&amp;row=5&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-974957" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-1024x171.webp" alt="DailyWire+" width="1024" height="171" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-1024x171.webp 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-300x50.webp 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-768x128.webp 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-1536x256.webp 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-2048x341.webp 2048w" sizes=" (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a>
Presumably, this would be Israel&#8217;s action against Hamas, which was not even remotely close to a genocide.
He continued:
<blockquote>&#8230; and followed it with a surprise attack on a girls elementary school followed by attacks on universities, medical centers, more schools, a world famous pharmaceutical research center, a volley ball team, an unfinished bridge we claimed was transporting weapons and then a nuclear power plant &#8230; we are now promising endless attacks on civilian infrastructure.</blockquote>
Every single thing he states is a lie. We have hit those sites because they are dual-use sites, except for the ones that we hit by accident.
If you truly believe that the American military is so evil that we target girls’ schools for the fun of it, that there are no mistakes made, that we just decided to get up one morning and murder a bunch of schoolgirls, get the hell out of the country.
You hate the country, and you hate the military. There&#8217;s no other way to explain what you are saying. There&#8217;s no other way to explain it.
Do you think Pete Hegseth and President Trump are sitting around drawing up a target list, and they say, “You know what? Just for good measure, let&#8217;s kill a bunch of Iranian schoolgirls”?
Is that what you think? If you think that you despise America.
You can oppose the war. You can oppose the way that the war is being fought. You can have problems with the overall strategy. You can have honest questions about the war.
But that&#8217;s not what we&#8217;re talking about here.
We&#8217;re talking about people openly hoping that America loses because they do not like America, because they think a more powerful America in the world is a bad thing. 
And Iran is counting on these people to undermine support.
This is nothing new. This happened throughout American history. If you go back to the Vietnam War, the Vietcong were counting on university students to claim we were the real bad guys, not the communists who were murdering hundreds of thousands of people. That&#8217;s why you had the students chanting in solidarity with Ho Chi Minh.
We have the same sorts of people now: a large swath of the Left and a significant part of the online Horseshoe Right.
Tucker Carlson put out a tape over the weekend celebrating the end of the American-led world order. He said a bunch of untrue things, which is what he does for a living now, while selling nicotine made in India. He said:
<blockquote>What&#8217;s happening in Iran is the end of American empire as we understand it. And that&#8217;s sad. Boo-hoo. Empire&#8217;s dying, but it&#8217;s not the end of the United States. It&#8217;s not the end of our influence on other nations, hopefully positive influence. It&#8217;s not the end of our economy. It&#8217;s the beginning of a very rough time in our economy, of course, but it&#8217;s hardly the end of it. What we&#8217;ve been doing, for likely your lifetime, if you&#8217;re under 80, is, well, it&#8217;s not working anymore. It hasn&#8217;t actually helped the United States long-term.
Your grandkids at this point don&#8217;t have the promise of a better life than you had. So it&#8217;s not actually a successful experiment. And now it&#8217;s ending because we&#8217;ve reached the limits of our demonstrated power. We can&#8217;t open the Straits of Hormuz. The president of the United States said that last night. Someone else do it. So we&#8217;re done. That&#8217;s okay. It was always going to end. Hopefully you can get out without a nuclear exchange, but now it is ending.</blockquote>
“It was okay. It&#8217;s okay if that happens. And it would probably be good if that happens because you&#8217;ve been lied to for generations.”
He is a liar. He&#8217;s a liar on economics, on military power, all of it. He&#8217;s gotten all of it dead wrong.
Remember this schmuck was telling you last year we were going to be in World War III if the United States struck a nuclear facility with one B-2. Has he been right on a single thing all along the way here? What has he been right on?
Also, why not just say what you really mean? He went even further. 
He called President Trump a <a href="https://x.com/MarioNawfal/status/2040946336657236274">war criminal</a> over the weekend: 
<blockquote>Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham, shows up at the White House yesterday to pray over the president so he will have wisdom and restraint? No. To endorse the murder of civilians, which is a war crime. But more important, it&#8217;s a moral crime. You can&#8217;t kill people who have committed no crime, who did nothing wrong. You can&#8217;t murder the innocent.</blockquote>
We should point out that Tucker Carlson is perfectly fine with Vladimir Putin killing people who have committed no crime. He literally said so. He said, “That&#8217;s what leaders do.” Tucker Carlson has been super pro-Russia throughout the entire Russia-Ukraine conflict as Russia targets civilians. He has been extraordinarily pro-Iran throughout this entire conflict, after Iran murdered tens of thousands of people in the streets and has facilitated the murder of civilians all over the Middle East.
As to his generalized argument, which is that somehow the last 80 years of history have been a giant failure for America, do you know how ignorant of American history you have to be to actually argue that? Destroying the Soviet Union, building the single most powerful economy in the history of planet Earth, is somehow a giant loss?
That is a lie. The statistics prove it&#8217;s a lie. A new story from the Wall Street Journal states, “America&#8217;s middle class is becoming wealthier as more families scaled the economic ladder into higher earning groups. New research shows the ranks of the affluent have grown markedly over the last 50 years or so.”
This would be the period that Tucker says was terrible.
Meanwhile, former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who doesn&#8217;t have two neurons connecting in her brain, put out this <a href="https://x.com/FmrRepMTG/status/2040789438494585175">statement</a> on Easter morning:
<blockquote>Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness.</blockquote>
Listening to Marjorie Taylor Greene lecture everyone else on morality is a hell of a thing, knowing her personal history.
She continued, “I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit. I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this. The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon. You know who has nuclear weapons? Israel.”
Yes, Israel does have nuclear weapons. Do any of our allies feel threatened by Israeli nuclear weapons? If so, I would love to hear how.
These are the people that Iran is counting on to help out.
Candace Owens put out her usual mirage of insanity. She <a href="https://x.com/RealCandaceO/status/2040918596239446051">tweeted</a>, “This is a satanic administration. We all realize that satanic Zionists occupy the White House, and Congress needs to move to have the Mad King Trump removed. All of our lives may depend upon other countries realizing Trump is deeply unwell and surrounded by religious fanatics who have convinced him that he is a messiah.”
What in the world is she even talking about?
Tim Miller of the anti-Trump group The Bulwark echoed her, writing, “The Satanic Zionist Clause undermines an otherwise compelling critique of Trump.”
Selling your soul for a salary at The Bulwark is a hell of a thing to do.
Pod Save America&#8217;s Jon Favreau endorsed the Candace tweet with a retweet.
Here&#8217;s the thing. The president is not listening to them, and he shouldn&#8217;t listen to them. Why would you listen to people who believe that it is a good thing for America to be weaker in the world? Why would you listen to people who believe that the president of the United States is deliberately targeting civilian schoolgirls?
The answer is you shouldn&#8217;t. The answer is you wouldn&#8217;t.
That’s because those people don&#8217;t like America very much. They will say, “I like a different form of America, an America in my head.”
Thankfully, that America doesn&#8217;t exist. The America that does exist is the America that you live in right now. The one where President Trump is the president. The one that ensures the freedom of the seas and the free flow of commerce, the America that fights off terror nations, the America that protects our allies, the America that does not wish to see the world&#8217;s worst people with the world&#8217;s worst weapons.
That&#8217;s the America you live in right now. Do you like that America, or do you hate that America?
When Joe Biden was president, I still loved America because America is awesome. I didn&#8217;t like Joe Biden as president very much, but I still loved America.
I wasn&#8217;t rooting against America.
Real Americans don’t.

Trump-backed Republican Clay Fuller and Democrat Shawn Harris will presumably face off in an April 7 runoff special election in former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Georgia district, based on the results available as of Tuesday evening.
Greene resigned from her position representing the 14th Congressional District on Jan. 5 after a public falling out with President Donald Trump over the Epstein files, despite once being close allies.
The special election comes as Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) Republican majority remains extremely slim, as Rep. Kevin Kiley (I-CA) announced that he would still caucus with Republicans, but would leave the party. This leaves only 217 registered Republicans in the House.
Fuller is the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit’s District Attorney and a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air National Guard, according to his campaign website.
&#8220;We have to come together and beat the Democrat, Shawn Harris, in this race, and go and win this thing on April 7th,&#8221; Fuller said in a video on Wednesday morning.
His website also lists an “America First economy” and supporting for mass deportations as someone his top issues.
“And I have Fuller on my side. I know that I got my Fuller. You better win that election,” Trump said during an economy-focused visit to Rome, Georgia, which is in the district, in February.
He was also backed by Johnson, who touted his runoff advancement on Tuesday night.
“Congratulations to Trump-endorsed and our endorsed candidate, [Clay Fuller], for advancing to the [GA-14] April 7 runoff!” Johnson posted.
There are two other vacancies in the House, one in a Republican-leaning seat and another in a Democratic-leaning seat, with those special elections in the coming months.
Harris, a farmer and retired brigadier general, wrote in an X post on Tuesday night that “Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t on the ballot, but the fallout from her feud still is.”
“This race isn’t about loyalty to Trump. It’s about loyalty to the voters of Northwest Georgia,” he wrote. “I’m running to serve the people here at home — not chase anyone in Washington.”
The Democrat has gotten the attention of some high profile Democrats, like former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
&#8220;There&#8217;s no such thing as a permanently red state or district, and I believe Shawn Harris has the background and values to bring people together and win,&#8221; Buttigieg said in a February statement. &#8220;Shawn is running because he knows the status quo in Washington isn&#8217;t working for people in the district, and he&#8217;s ready to get to work to lower prescription drug prices, pass a farm bill that works for rural Georgia, and defend Medicare and Medicaid.&#8221;
Former State Sen. Colton Moore and Brian Stover were other key Republicans in the special election, but Fuller ultimately earned the Trump nod in February, with the president writing on Truth Social that Fuller is “strongly supported by the most Highly Respected MAGA Warriors in Georgia, and many Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives.”
In November, Greene shared a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/marjorie-taylor-greene-to-resign-from-congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> explaining her decision, saying that “loyalty should be a two-way street.”
“I’ve been blessed to represent the 14th District of Georgia for five years. That district is filled with some of the most wonderful, kind-hearted, God fearing, patriotic, hardworking people you will ever meet. Good, regular, common Americans,” the congresswoman said.
“Because my self worth is not defined by a man, but instead by God, who created everything in existence,” Greene added at the time.
The district is deeply Republican, with Greene winning re-election in 2024 with over 64% of the vote compared with Kamala Harris’ roughly 36%. Trump won the district with 68% of the vote, and he won the battleground state of Georgia with just under 51%.
All eyes will remain on the Peach State through November, as the United States Senate race is considered a “toss-up,” according to the Cook Political Report.
Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) will face off against either Reps. Mike Collins, Buddy Carter, or former football coach Derek Dooley, depending on who wins the Republican primary on May 19. Trump has yet to endorse a candidate in the race.

The White House did not publish an official &#8220;Naughty List&#8221; for 2025 — though whether they made one is anyone&#8217;s guess — a handful of lawmakers would have been shoe-ins for inclusion.
These people worked against President Donald Trump and his administration over the past year by holding up votes on Trump&#8217;s nominees and agenda, attacking the president on social media and in the press, and badmouthing him and his team in front of any microphone they could find.
They come from both parties and across the country, unified only in their opposition to the Big Man. Let&#8217;s take a look at which Grinches made the list.

Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) was one of three New Jersey lawmakers who physically pushed their way into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) holding facility in her state. She and the others claimed that ICE agents had gotten &#8220;rough&#8221; with them, but body cam footage belied her account.
McIver was indicted for her trouble, on three counts of &#8220;forcibly impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers.&#8221;
<h4>Marjorie Taylor Greene</h4>
President Trump&#8217;s former ally is the most recent lawmaker to incur Trump&#8217;s wrath.
After a series of criticisms from Greene — focused primarily on the Trump administration&#8217;s handling of files related to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — Trump attacked the Georgia congresswoman in several Truth Social posts. Calling her &#8220;Marjorie Traitor Greene&#8221; in one instance, he cheered her eventual resignation from Congress as &#8220;good for the country.&#8221;
In the days since, Greene has given a handful of interviews — and they&#8217;ve been progressively less flattering to Trump.
<h4>Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</h4>
The New York firebrand has been a more-or-less constant thorn in the side of Republicans since she was elected, and 2025 has proved to be no different. With the policies championed in her proposed Green New Deal languishing under the weight of Trump&#8217;s regulatory reform, she has turned to jabbing at members of the administration and those who support it via social media.
One such barb was aimed at former collegiate swimmer — and staunch advocate for women and girls — Riley Gaines, who pointed out the dangers of embracing socialism as AOC has.
&#8220;Maybe if you channeled all this anger into swimming faster you wouldn’t have come in fifth,” Ocasio-Cortez said, referencing the 2022 NCAA championships where Gaines had tied for 5th place with trans-identifying male swimmer Lia Thomas.
Gaines was unperturbed, replying, &#8220;It’s always hilarious when they think they’ve landed a ‘gotcha’ by pointing out I was the 5th-fastest woman *in the nation* yet they conveniently forget the mediocre man who ranked 462nd in the men’s division lol. Misogynistic dunce.&#8221;
Ocasio-Cortez also took to social media to crow about a poll that showed her besting Vice President JD Vance in a potential 2028 match-up. What she didn&#8217;t mention was that the poll was taken in Canada, where socialism has already taken hold — and where no one can vote for her, anyway.
<h4>Mark Kelly</h4>
Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) joined five other members of Congress — all of them veterans of either the Armed Services or the Central Intelligence Agency — to make a video encouraging members of the military to question their orders in real time. Nicknaming them the &#8220;Seditious Six,&#8221; Trump said his administration was prepared to investigate Kelly in particular because, as the only member of the group who retired from the military, he is still subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice and can be recalled to be court-martialed for his actions.
<h4>Chuck Schumer</h4>
Senate Minority Leader <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrats-roast-chuck-schumer-over-shutdown-deal-we-need-new-leadership">Chuck Schumer</a> kept members of his party in line through the longest government shutdown in American history — and despite the fact that he and his party got nothing for their trouble, they still managed to inflict a significant amount of pain on people who either worked for the federal government and were furloughed or were dependent on government assistance.
When the shutdown finally ended, Democrats got none of the things they&#8217;d demanded, and members of Schumer&#8217;s party began to turn on him.
&#8220;Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?&#8221; Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) said at the time.
<h4>Hakeem Jeffries</h4>
House Minority Leader <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cnn-catches-hakeem-jeffries-in-straight-up-lie-about-government-shutdown?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=CNN+Catches+Hakeem+Jeffries+In+Straight-Up+Lie+About+Government+Shutdown">Hakeem Jeffries</a> (D-NY) has almost constantly been at odds with the Trump administration — and his attacks have often been disingenuous at best. After claiming that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) had refused to talk to him about bringing the shutdown to an end, Jeffries was forced to admit to CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins that they had, in fact, spoken — and that Johnson had initiated the call.
On another occasion, Jeffries aimed his ire at Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services Administrator <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hakeem-jeffries-trashes-dr-oz-gets-hit-with-brutal-fact-check?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Hakeem+Jeffries+Trashes+Dr.+Oz%2C+Gets+Hit+With+Brutal+Fact-Check">Mehmet Oz.</a> He mocked the acclaimed cardiothoracic surgeon and claimed that no one should take him &#8220;seriously.&#8221;
Fox News anchor John Roberts laid out the fact check: &#8220;Just a quick fact check for the minority leader: Mehmet Oz: Undergraduate degree — Harvard; MD — UPenn; MBA — Wharton School; He was a renowned cardiothoracic surgeon at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital before taking the leap into TV.&#8221;
Jeffries did praise Trump for issuing a pardon to Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hakeem-jeffries-sides-with-trump-over-pardon-for-texas-democrat">Henry Cuellar</a> (D-Texas), whose indictment was viewed by a number on both sides of the political aisle as politically motivated — but on balance, he more than earned the sombrero memes in which he was featured.
<h4>Chris Van Hollen</h4>
Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) was at first of many congressional Democrats who sided with dangerous criminal aliens over American citizens, attacking ICE agents for faithfully enforcing federal immigration laws. But when his party and their media cohorts effectively adopted MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia as their cause du jour, it was Van Hollen who took his activism to absurd new heights.
When the criminal illegal alien was deported and sent to El Salvador — an admitted mistake made by the Trump administration, which could legally have deported him to any country other than El Salvador — it was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-border-czar-tears-into-dem-senator-van-hollen-for-el-salvador-trip">Van Hollen</a> who took it upon himself to fly to El Salvador and demand to meet with Abrego Garcia.
<h4>Adam Schiff</h4>
Perhaps the naughtiest of them all, Schiff made the leap from the House to the Senate in January, and although he still hasn&#8217;t delivered the &#8220;evidence&#8221; he swore he had of Trump colluding with Russia, he has poured a fair amount of time and effort into being a bee in the Trump administration&#8217;s bonnet.
Just two days after Trump&#8217;s inauguration, Schiff <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/adam-schiff-complains-bondi-isnt-doing-the-job-his-party-is-blocking-her-from-getting?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Adam+Schiff+Complains+Bondi+Isn’t+Doing+The+Job+His+Party+Is+Blocking+Her+From+Getting">complained</a> in an X post that Pam Bondi — then Trump&#8217;s nominee for attorney general — had not given a thorough review to all of the January 6th pardons. He omitted the fact that his party had stalled Bondi&#8217;s confirmation process — and therefore it was ridiculous to expect her to already be doing the job they were preventing her from getting.
In the months since, Schiff&#8217;s statements have been an exercise in lacking self-awareness.
&#8220;That attitude that you can make a president or a party unsuccessful, no matter what damage it might do to the country, because it’s good politics — we have to get past that ruinous idea,” he said on a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/adam-schiff-claims-lawmakers-shouldnt-use-politics-to-destroy-presidents?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Adam+Schiff+Claims+Lawmakers+Shouldn’t+Use+Politics+To+Destroy+Presidents">recent podcast</a>, omitting his own history of doing exactly that to Trump.
When War Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered strikes on narco-terrorists in the Caribbean, Schiff referred to men who survived the initial strike as &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/adam-schiff-defends-narcoterrorists-claims-they-were-shipwrecked-survivors?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Adam+Schiff+Defends+Narcoterrorists%2C+Claims+They+Were+‘Shipwrecked+Survivors’">shipwreck survivors</a>&#8221; and declared the strikes illegal. He later complained that Trump had only survived multiple prosecutions because then Attorney General Merrick Garland had not been &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/adam-schiff-complains-that-merrick-garland-wasnt-partisan-enough?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Adam+Schiff+Complains+That+Merrick+Garland+Wasn’t+Partisan+Enough">partisan enough</a>.&#8221;
Here&#8217;s hoping these naughty folks enjoy their coal — and learn to be nicer next year!

The House on Wednesday approved a bill that would prohibit doctors across the country from performing transgender surgeries on minors or giving gender-confused kids puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones.
The legislation, introduced by outgoing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), passed 216-211. Under Greene&#8217;s proposal, doctors who provide transgender procedures to children could face steep fines or up to 10 years in prison. 
“One of the most serious responsibilities we have is adults and particularly those of us who are elected and hold power when it comes to legislating and making laws is to protect children. Today, the House is delivering on what the American people voted for,” Greene said from the House floor. “Most Americans agree that kids just need to grow up before they do anything radical, like a mastectomy on a 15-year-old girl, castrate themselves through surgery, or even take dangerous drugs that have lifelong effects.”
Democrat Reps. Henry Cuellar (Texas), Donald Davis (North Carolina), and Vicente Gonzalez (Texas) joined 213 Republicans in backing the measure. Four Republicans, including Reps. Gabe Evans (Colorado), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pennsylvania), Mike Kennedy (Utah), and Mike Lawler (New York) voted against the bill. 
More than three dozen Republicans co-sponsored the proposal, known as the “Protect Children’s Innocence Act.” 
The procedures prohibited in the bill include giving males who identify as girls estrogen and females who identify as boys testosterone. Cross-sex hormones given to children can have profound impacts on fertility, sexual function, and heart health. The law also blocks doctors from giving kids puberty blockers, which can significantly harm bone development. 
It would also ban genital surgeries and the removal of the breasts of girls who identify as boys.

American Principles Project President Terry Schilling praised the bill&#8217;s passage. 
“Republicans showed today that they are as committed to protecting children as Democrats are to disfiguring them,” he told The Daily Wire. “Bipartisan supermajorities support commonsense protections for at-risk children, and yet only three Democrats had the moral courage to stand up to a multi-billion-dollar industry that profits off of the misery of American kids. Democrats have been captured by an ideology that is as poisonous as it is profitable.”
The legislation now heads to the Senate, where Republicans have previously introduced similar proposals. In September, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-new-blackburn-bill-would-end-barbaric-transgender-procedures-nationwide">introduced</a> legislation to ban transgender procedures nationwide, a measure the Trump administration quickly endorsed. The bill has not advanced since its introduction and has not yet received a committee hearing or vote.
More than two dozen states have moved to enact similar bans on transgender procedures over the last few years.

President Donald Trump on Monday accused  Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of being a &#8220;jilted&#8221; traitor after the Georgia Republican said Trump&#8217;s policies were not &#8220;America First&#8221; during an interview on &#8220;60 Minutes.&#8221;
Trump said that Greene was no longer MAGA or America First because of her shifting policy views. In recent weeks, Greene has become increasingly critical of Trump. She has also announced plans to step down in January, with over a year left on her term as a congresswoman.
&#8220;The only reason Marjorie &#8216;Traitor&#8217; Brown (Green turns Brown under stress!) went BAD is that she was JILTED by the President of the United States (Certainly not the first time she has been jilted!). Too much work, not enough time, and her ideas are, NOW, really BAD &#8211; She sort of reminds me of a Rotten Apple! Marjorie is not AMERICA FIRST or MAGA, because nobody could have changed her views so fast, and her new views are those of a very dumb person,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115684406134734247">wrote</a> on Truth Social.
During the interview released Sunday, Greene said Trump was too focused on international issues rather than domestic policy.
&#8220;For an ‘America First’ president, the number one focus should have been domestic policy, and it wasn’t. And so, of course, I was critical, because those were my campaign promises,” Greene said. “Once we fix everything here, then fine, we’ll talk to the rest of the world.”
Greene was once a fierce defender of Trump, but recently clashed with the president over the release of the files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Trump has said that she became upset with him after he shared polling with her indicating she would perform poorly if she made a bid for the Senate.
Her resignation will lower the already tenuous Republican majority in the House, which currently sits at 220-213.
Trump said that he was upset that CBS News allowed the interview to air.
&#8220;My real problem with the show, however, wasn’t the low IQ traitor, it was that the new ownership of 60 Minutes, Paramount, would allow a show like this to air,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN THE OLD OWNERSHIP, who just paid me millions of Dollars for FAKE REPORTING about your favorite President, ME! Since they bought it, 60 Minutes has actually gotten WORSE!&#8221;
Trump added that he deserved an apology from “60 Minutes” host Lesley Stahl over her handling of the Hunter Biden laptop story.

With the coming resignation of Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, the House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency will soon have an open chair. One Republican congressman isn&#8217;t wasting time vying for the seat.
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) pulled out his phone, hit record, and announced his bid to chair the DOGE subcommittee Wednesday on X.
&#8220;I sure would love an opportunity, and I know the cards are stacked against me,&#8221; Burchett <a href="https://x.com/timburchett/status/1996228120047735117?s=20">said</a>. &#8220;I don&#8217;t do a lot to endear myself to the leadership, but frankly, they don&#8217;t do a lot to endear themselves to me.&#8221;
The DOGE Subcommittee, part of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, is one of two congressional counterparts to President Donald Trump&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency. Burchett currently serves on the committee and thinks he could help lead it into the future.
&#8220;I would get with folks like y&#8217;all out there on the social media and put some pressure on some of these gutless legislators to pass some of this stuff,&#8221; the congressman continued.

Talking directly to his followers, Burchett said bluntly that he&#8217;s not very good when it comes to having to &#8220;kiss a lot of butt.&#8221;
&#8220;Y&#8217;all know how this game works, gotta raise a lot of money and kiss a lot of butt, and I don&#8217;t do a good job at either one of those.&#8221;
But his no-nonsense approach is why he said he would be an effective leader of the committee designed to eliminate government waste.
&#8220;I think I got the backbone and I guess the guts to go after this spending. I would propose some daggum legislation to do it. I think I know where a lot of it&#8217;s hidden.&#8221;
Burchett took office in 2019 after serving as a state senator and mayor of Knox County. He also serves on the House Transportation and Infrastructure and Foreign Affairs Committees.
Greene said the committee&#8217;s role is to identify and investigate waste and corruption in the federal government.
&#8220;Our subcommittee will provide transparency and truth to the American people through hearings,&#8221; she said when the subcommittee launched. &#8220;The goal of DOGE is to bring accountability and GUT useless government agencies.&#8221;
Greene announced on November 22 that she&#8217;s leaving Congress effective January 5, 2026, after a public fallout with Trump.
Burchett is a strong Trump ally and recently received the president&#8217;s <a href="https://x.com/timburchett/status/1985439493680160796?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">endorsement</a> for re-election.
&#8220;He will never let you down,&#8221; Trump said.
If appointed to chair the DOGE subcommittee, Burchett would start after the first of the year.

WASHINGTON—Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene caused a stir on Saturday when she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/marjorie-taylor-greene-to-resign-from-congress?author=Cameron+Arcand&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=8&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Marjorie+Taylor+Greene+To+Resign+From+Congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> her plans to resign effective January 5. Now, with Republicans struggling to hold on to a barely-there majority, the question is: what will happen to her seat?
A special is slated to happen sometime in February or March. And with just 219 seats, Republicans can&#8217;t afford to lose it. There are <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/List_of_current_members_of_the_U.S._Congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">currently</a> three vacancies in the House: two seats left open by Democrats, one by a Republican, and Greene will with be the fourth when she resigns. The seven-seat margin means Republicans can afford no more than three defections on measures they want to pass without Democrats.
Greene, who rose to prominence as one of President Donald Trump&#8217;s most vocal allies, announced her resignation amid a very public fallout with the president over his resistance to releasing information related to the convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. In a video <a href="https://x.com/mtgreenee/status/1992035608387039359?s=20">announcement</a> posted on Nov. 21, Greene outlined the reasoning behind her decision and addressed her decision to support releasing the Epstein files.
“Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for,” Greene said.
Greene also pointed to other frustrations, saying she believes Americans are being “used” by the &#8220;political industrial complex&#8221; on both sides to “elect whichever side can convince Americans to hate the other side more.”
This week, Greene confirmed she is <a href="https://x.com/mtgreenee/status/1992586669204070761?s=20">not</a> running for president, or <a href="https://x.com/mtgreenee/status/1993127035498045564?s=20">joining</a> &#8220;The View,&#8221; as many people online have speculated in recent days since her announcement.
Paulding County Republican Party Executive Committee Chairman Richard J. Hess told The Daily Wire there will be a special election to fill Greene’s unexpired term for 2025.
The timeline, however, is a little tricky.
Hess said the special election to replace the conservative firebrand will likely fall “somewhere between mid-February and March, but ultimately that decision is up to the governor.” Once Greene resigns, the governor will have 10 days to issue the call for a special election, formally known as a “a writ of election,” according to the Secretary of State’s office<a href="https://sos.ga.gov/sites/default/files/2024-02/Qualifications_and_Disqualifications_through%20current%20-%20CandHandbk2024_0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> website</a>.

A spokesman for Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger told The Daily Wire that once this happens, a special election must be at least 29 days from the call being issued. Hess said their hope is that the special election “doesn’t interfere with the primary or the qualification period, because we’re looking at very tight timelines.”
Hess explained that there will be a special election and “potentially” a runoff election, followed by the regular primary cycle for the seat. Greene’s seat is up for election in November 2026, meaning the winner of this special election would have to run again if they want to retain the seat.
The general primary for the 2026 election is scheduled for May 19 with a potential runoff June 16, according to the Federal Election Commission’s <a href="https://www.fec.gov/resources/cms-content/documents/2026pdates.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>. Georgia is one of the seven states that requires a runoff election if none of the candidates receive a majority of the vote (50%+1), according to the <a href="https://www.ncsl.org/elections-and-campaigns/primary-runoffs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Conference of State Legislatures.</a>
This means the process could take longer if a runoff election is required, depending on how many candidates enter the race and the election results.
“It’s going to be a very hectic, fast-paced period, and we’re just hoping the transition moves as smoothly as possible,” Hess said.
Georgia’s 14th Congressional District is a solidly Republican district in the state’s northwest corner. In the 2024 race, Greene <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Georgia%27s_14th_Congressional_District" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> secured around 64% of the vote, compared to 35% for her Democratic challenger, Shawn Harris.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Resigning. Here’s What Happens Now.

Jeffrey Epstein

President Donald Trump on Friday night said it was &#8220;great news&#8221; that former ally GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) announced her coming resignation from Congress.
Trump and Greene recently had a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-goes-nuclear-on-two-former-allies-says-hell-back-primary-challengers?author=Amanda+Prestigiacomo&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=8&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Goes+Nuclear+On+Two+Former+Allies%2C+Says+He’ll+Back+Primary+Challengers">falling out</a>, which culminated in Trump saying he&#8217;d back a primary challenge against Greene.
&#8220;Just spoke with Pres. Trump on the phone. He said [Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene] resigning is &#8216;great news from the country,'&#8221; ABC News reporter Rachel Scott posted to X.
&#8220;I think it&#8217;s great news for the country. It&#8217;s great,&#8221; the president said.
Asked if Greene gave him a &#8220;heads up&#8221; about her resignation, Trump responded, &#8220;Nah, it doesn&#8217;t matter, you know but I think it&#8217;s great. I think she should be happy.&#8221;
Trump also told Scott that the rift between the pair only exists &#8220;between me and her, not her and me.&#8221;
&#8220;He said as of now, he has no plans to speak to her and wishes her well,&#8221; Scott added.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

When I asked about the president about the rift between the two of them the president replied, &#8220;only between me and her, not her and me.&#8221;
He said as of now, he has no plans to speak to her and wishes her well.

Trump doubled-down on his take on Saturday morning, writing on Truth Social, &#8220;Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown, because of PLUMMETING Poll Numbers, and not wanting to face a Primary Challenger with a strong Trump Endorsement (where she would have no chance of winning!), has decided to call it ‘quits.’&#8221;
&#8220;Her relationship with the WORST Republican Congressman in decades, Tom Massie of Kentucky, also known as Rand Paul Jr. because he votes against the Republican Party (and really good legislation!), did not help her,&#8221; the president continued. &#8220;For some reason, primarily that I refused to return her never ending barrage of phone calls, Marjorie went BAD. Nevertheless, I will always appreciate Marjorie, and thank her for her service to our Country!&#8221;

“I’ve been blessed to represent the 14th District of Georgia for five years,&#8221; Greene said in her video. &#8220;That district is filled with some of the most wonderful, kind-hearted, God fearing, patriotic, hardworking people you will ever meet. Good, regular, common Americans.&#8221;
The Georgia representative added that &#8220;loyalty should be a two-way street&#8221; and, referring to the president, said her &#8220;self worth is not defined by a man, but instead by God, who created everything in existence.&#8221;
Greene will officially step down on January 5.

MTG&#8217;s resignation announcement comes just one week after Trump said he was done supporting the rep. Greene has recently <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/10/17/mtg-republicans-trump-america-first">accused</a> Trump of being “America Last” for meeting with foreign leaders and has routinely criticized Republican leadership. She’s also suggested Trump has made missteps concerning the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein documents.
Trump said last week that the congresswoman started to publicly criticize him after he sent her a poll showing she’d fare poorly if she made a run for the Senate or governorship in Georgia, adding that she’s also upset that he doesn’t have time to return her phone calls anymore.

‘Great News For The Country’: Trump Reacts To Marjorie Taylor Greene Resignation

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) will resign from Congress after a public falling out with President Donald Trump, despite once being close allies.
“I’ve been blessed to represent the 14th District of Georgia for five years. That district is filled with some of the most wonderful, kind-hearted, God fearing, patriotic, hardworking people you will ever meet. Good, regular, common Americans,” the congresswoman, who recently made a hotly-debated appearance on “The View,” stated in a video posted to X on Friday night.
“Loyalty should be a two-way street,” she added.
“Because my self worth is not defined by a man, but instead by God, who created everything in existence,” she continued.

Greene will officially step down on January 5. She was first elected during the 2020 election and was one of the most vocal opponents of then-President Joe Biden and supporters of Trump. In recent weeks, Greene grew critical of the president and congressional leadership on numerous issues, including the Epstein files and how to best handle Obamacare, including during the government shutdown.
“I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of &#8216;Congresswoman&#8217; Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia,” Trump said in a November 14 Truth Social post, adding that “all [he sees] ‘Wacky’ Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!”
Trump said Greene&#8217;s heel-turn started when he showed her a poll in which it appeared she didn&#8217;t have a shot at winning a gubernatorial or Senate race in Georgia.
“She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day. I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support,” he added at the time.
The decision from the congresswoman will trigger a special election, which Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) will choose a date for. The race will include also include both primaries and a general election in the deep red district, and those elections might happen ahead of the standard 2026 primaries in May, according to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/marjorie-taylor-green-congress-resigns-trump-maga-5f42d4893343babc8e87da1491a0de2b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Associated Press</a>.

US-VOTE-POLITICS-TRUMP

Marjorie Taylor Greene To Resign From Congress

Speaking at a press conference alongside alleged survivors of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene implied President Trump was a “traitor.”
On Sunday, Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115562684567737579">wrote</a>, “Wacky Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown (Remember, Green turns to Brown where there is ROT involved!) is working overtime to try and portray herself as a victim when, in actuality, she is the cause of all of her own problems. The fact is, nobody cares about this Traitor to our Country!”
Greene on Tuesday turned the &#8220;traitor&#8221; label around on the president.
“I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for five, no, actually six years for,” Greene responded at the press conference. “And I gave him my loyalty for free. I won my first election without his endorsement, beating eight men in a primary, and I&#8217;ve never owed him anything. But I fought for him for the policies and for America First. And he called me a traitor for standing with these women and refusing to take my name off the discharge petition.&#8221;
&#8220;Let me tell you what a traitor is. A traitor is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves. A patriot is an American that serves the United States of America and Americans like the women standing behind me.”
She followed with an incipient threat of what would happen after the Epstein files were released, declaring, “And I want to tell you, that this only became possible today because the American people, whom we serve as representatives here in Congress, demanded that this vote happen and they put more pressure on every single elected politician in this city that has ever been put on them. And today you are going to see, probably a unanimous vote in the House to release the Epstein files, but the fight, the real fight will happen after that.”
Prior to Trump’s post on Truth Social on Sunday, he had posted this <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115551127714537339">statement</a> about Greene’s recent attacks on him: “It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!). She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day. I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support. She has gone Far Left, even doing The View, with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors.”
On The View, Greene <a href="applewebdata://500B2869-FDB0-4ADE-8A34-AF707DA1DA12/v">stated</a>, “When I talk about weak Republican men, I’m pretty much talking, oftentimes, about the leadership in the House and the Senate.” Co-host Sunny Hostin was so impressed by Greene’s attacks on the GOP that she said, “You’re on the Left now.”
