Greene Escalates GOP Rift With New Attacks on Johnson and 'America Last' Critique of Trump Agenda

She pairs a push to preserve ACA premium credits with a rare GOP signature to force release of Epstein records.

Overview

  • In an Axios interview, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accused Speaker Mike Johnson of hypocrisy for downplaying a protective order against Rep. Cory Mills and contrasted his stance with the House’s expulsion of George Santos.
  • Johnson pushed back on Friday, saying he tries not to respond to Greene’s daily broadsides and noting he opposed expelling Santos while urging due process in Mills’ case.
  • Greene told Axios parts of the Trump administration’s second‑term agenda are "America Last," pointing to a focus on overseas issues and a lack of a GOP plan for expiring ACA tax credits.
  • She is one of only four Republicans to sign a discharge petition to unseal Epstein files, says she plans to read victims’ provided descriptions of alleged abusers on the House floor, and predicted the effort could draw 400 votes.
  • Jewish Insider reported that as Greene gains cross‑party attention for recent breaks with the GOP, she has amplified antisemitic tropes and faced sharp rebukes from AIPAC and the Republican Jewish Coalition.
