President Donald Trump had plenty to say in response to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) interview on “60 Minutes” Sunday.
The president gave a Monday morning quarterback perspective on Truth Social after Green talked about her falling out with Trump as well as her decision to leave Congress, per The Hill.
“The only reason Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown (Green turns Brown under stress!) went BAD is that she was JILTED by the President of the United States (Certainly not the first time she has been jilted!),” Trump wrote.
“Too much work, not enough time, and her ideas are, NOW, really BAD – She sort of reminds me of a Rotten Apple!” he continued. “Marjorie is not AMERICA FIRST or MAGA, because nobody could have changed her views so fast, and her new views are those of a very dumb person.”
Trump also lambasted “60 Minutes” and correspondent Lesley Stahl.
“… Trump hating, 60 Minutes “correspondent,” Lesley Stahl, who still owes me an apology from when she attacked me on the show (with serious conviction!), that Hunter Biden’s LAPTOP FROM HELL was produced by Russia, not Hunter himself (TOTALLY PROVEN WRONG!), interviewed a very poorly prepared Traitor, who in her confusion made many really stupid statements,” Trump wrote, later demanding an apology by Stahl.
“My real problem with the show, however, wasn’t the low IQ traitor,” Trump wrote about Greene, “it was that the new ownership of 60 Minutes, Paramount, would allow a show like this to air. THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN THE OLD OWNERSHIP, who just paid me millions of Dollars for FAKE REPORTING about your favorite President, ME!”
Paramount Global, CBS News’ parent company, settled a lawsuit filed by Trump over a “60 Minutes” interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris.
Greene was an ally of Trump’s for years, then spoke out against his foreign policy and the cost of living issues.
Greene said Trump calling her “traitor” led to death threats against her family.
“Those were death threats directly fueled by President Trump,” Greene said.
A response to Trump was posted by Greene late Monday morning on X.
“I AM AMERICA FIRST,” she posted.
“Thank you for your attention to this matter,” she wrote, using the line Trump generally ends his posts with.
