MTG Calls on Fox News to Fire Mark Levin Over ‘Extremely Sick’ Post
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R–GA) raged that Fox News host Mark Levin “should be fired” for posting what she described as an “extremely sick and disturbing” tweet calling her “stupid” as the MAGA fallout over President Donald Trump’s Iran stance continues.
The pair have sparred in the past week over whether the U.S. should militarily intervene in Israel’s conflict with Iran. Greene found herself siding with MAGA firebrands Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon pushing against involvement, while Levin and other Fox News hosts, including Sean Hannity, backed the idea of intervention.
Greene’s tirade came just one day after she complained in an interview on OAN’s The Matt Gaetz Show that Fox News should “reel” Levin in, blasting the network in turn as “unprofessional” and “propaganda.”
Firing back late Monday, Levin wrote: “MTG, God are you stupid. And you keep banging your head against the wall. Thankfully, POTUS ignored you and hit the Iranian nuclear sites. You seem very upset about it. I’m not going away. You’re on my radar.”
In reply, Greene unleashed a lengthy response, accusing Levin of using “the exact same tone and language that the psychopaths use that send me death threats every single day.”
“You should be fired from Fox News. And shame on Fox if they condone this,” she continued before quoting the Biblical passages sharing Jesus’s teaching to “pray for your enemies” – adding that she would pray for Levin.
Addressing her position on Iran, she pointed to President John F. Kennedy: “There was once a great President that the American people loved. He opposed Israel’s nuclear program. And then he was assassinated. I am for peace. I oppose war including wars Israel wages.”
In an additional jab, Greene asked Levin about Trump’s Tuesday morning fury after an Iranian missile strike in Beersheba and Israel’s plans for retaliatory strikes in return threatened to derail his freshly brokered ceasefire.
