Marjorie Taylor Greene Criticizes Trump and GOP in '60 Minutes' Interview

In a recent interview on CBS's "60 Minutes," Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a former staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, openly criticized him and her Republican colleagues, highlighting internal party divisions. Greene announced her resignation from Congress, effective January 2026, citing a fallout with Trump over various issues.

Greene revealed that many Republicans privately mocked Trump but publicly supported him after his 2024 primary victory. She stated, "I watched many of my colleagues go from making fun of him... to... kissing his a-- and decided to put on a MAGA hat for the first time."

She also accused Trump of inciting death threats against her and her son following his public criticism of her. Greene recounted receiving a pipe bomb threat at her home and direct death threats against her son, attributing them to Trump's remarks. She noted that when she informed Trump and Vice President JD Vance about the threats, Vance responded, "We'll look into it," while Trump's response was "extremely unkind."

Greene criticized Trump's focus on foreign policy over domestic issues, stating, "For an 'America First' president, the No. 1 focus should have been domestic policy, and it wasn't."

In response, Trump took to Truth Social, calling Greene a "traitor" and alleging she "went BAD" after being "jilted by the President of the United States." He further criticized CBS and "60 Minutes" for airing the interview, expressing disappointment with the network's new ownership.

Greene's departure from Congress and her candid remarks underscore growing tensions within the Republican Party as it navigates internal divisions and its future direction.
