Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) declared that Congress is full of “weak” Republican men who are afraid of “strong” women like her.

Greene spoke with The Washington Post this week about her growing divides with her own party, which includes the current government shutdown and the call for the release of more files related to late child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein.

Greene said she has been unsuccessfully trying to encourage House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to abolish the 60-vote filibuster rule to end the current shutdown.

“My district knows I ran for Congress trashing Republicans,” she said. “They voted for me because they agreed with that. My district’s not surprised.”

Greene complained that “strong” Republican women seem to be sidelined by their colleagues in Congress despite President Donald Trump’s administration being full of women in leadership roles.

“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,” she said. “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.”

Greene claimed that GOP women have been treated more unfairly under Johnson. She said Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) was given “some honorary bullsh*t role” after losing her position to be ambassador to the United Nations in March. She currently serves as chairwoman of House Republican leadership.

“She’s a woman so it was okay to do that to her somehow,” Greene said.

The Georgia congresswoman has been more open in recent months about her disagreements with her own party’s leadership. She is one of only a handful of Republicans to support legislation from Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) that calls for more Epstein files to be released by the administration and she torched other Republicans for not supporting the effort. She told Tim Dillon on his podcast that she has stayed true to her MAGA roots.

“I was thinking about it this morning, I was like, you know, I’ve been in Washington all week, I’ve been at my office, and I’ve been at the Capitol, and there’s two things I couldn’t find this week,” she said. “I couldn’t find anywhere the Epstein Files, and I also couldn’t find

the Republican plan to fix the absolutely destroyed health insurance industry that got wiped out in 2015 with Obamacare. Those are the two things I can’t find!”
