Greene Says Republicans Privately Mock Trump, Fear Truth Social Retaliation

Her account was aired by 60 Minutes weeks before her planned resignation.

Overview

  • In a CBS interview with Lesley Stahl, Marjorie Taylor Greene says many GOP lawmakers deride the president behind closed doors despite public loyalty.
  • She adds that some colleagues who once mocked Trump began flaunting MAGA support after his 2024 primary victory, including wearing red hats.
  • Greene argues Republicans hold back criticism because they fear being targeted by harsh posts on Truth Social.
  • She says Trump labeled her a “traitor,” after which she received a wave of threats against herself and her family, including a reported pipe‑bomb threat.
  • Breaking with MAGA, Greene now describes herself as “America First” and criticizes Trump’s alignment with big donors and industries such as crypto and pharma.
