Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has never been shy about torching her critics, but her latest eruption — aimed squarely at Republican men — landed like a grenade tossed into her own party.
A week after announcing she’ll resign in January, the Georgia congresswoman unloaded on anyone insisting she stay in office, saying publicly what she’s been hinting at for months: she’s done being a political punching bag while others sit online and snipe at her.
The blow-up started when right-wing personality Mike Cernovich told her on X, “You need to serve out your full term.” That was enough to set Greene off.
“Oh I haven’t suffered enough for you while you post all day behind a screen?” she shot back Wednesday. “Do I have to stay until I’m assassinated like our friend Charlie Kirk. Will that be good enough for you then?”
The reference to the September assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk made her point clear: in her view, critics demanding she stay put aren’t the ones facing the danger.
But Greene wasn’t finished.
“‘S*** posting on the internet all day isn’t fighting. Get off YOUR ass and run for Congress. I fought harder than anyone in the real arena, not social media. Put down your little pebbles and put your money where your mouth is,’” she wrote.
An hour later she doubled down, this time turning her ire specifically on the men in her own party.
“Typical of Republican men telling a woman to ‘shut up get back in the kitchen and fix me something to eat.’ F*** you in the sweetest most southern drawl I can enunciate,” she said.
Then Greene went full-scorched-earth.
“I have been trying tell all you ‘men’ that our kitchen pantry is empty with spider webs, our house has been ransacked, the windows and doors are broken and busted, and the greedy rich bastards have twisted your minds into a sick state that you all continue in the two party toxic political system that acts like college football playoffs yet is burying you and your children and their children and their children in a pine box in a shallow grave.”
And she wrapped it with a final jab: “Get off your ass and fix your own damn food and clean up the kitchen when you’re done.”
Greene’s fury comes after a stunning and very public rift with Donald Trump — a sharp reversal from the days when he labeled her a “future Republican star” and leaned on her as one of his most loyal surrogates.
The rupture intensified after she pushed to release the Epstein Files, joining just three other Republicans in signing a discharge petition to force a vote. Trump responded by rebuking her as “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Greene” and pulling his endorsement.
Then, after the bill gained momentum, he abruptly switched positions, backed the legislation, and signed it into law. Greene’s biggest legislative win came just as her relationship with Trump hit the basement.
Days later, she announced she was walking away from Congress.
“Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for,” she said in her resignation statement.
She described her years in office as a nonstop barrage of “personal attacks, death threats, lawfare, ridiculous slander and lies,” adding that she refuses to be a “battered wife” waiting for things to magically improve.
