Marjorie Taylor Greene Losing Friends, Says Former Republican Ally

Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is beginning to alienate herself within the Republican Party following recent attacks against her colleagues, says Florida Representative Byron Donalds.

Donalds, who is a part of the House Freedom Caucus, which Greene was booted from over the summer, answered "yeah" when asked by The Daily Beast if he thinks Greene is starting to lose friends in the GOP conference.

"Is she concerned about that? I don't think so," the Republican said. "The airing of grievances by Twitter, or by X, is just not productive. When you do it through social media, it just doesn't work."

Newsweek reached out to Greene via email for comment.

Previously, Greene could rely on her allyship with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy and closeness to former President Donald Trump to maintain influence in the House. However, following Greene getting removed from the Freedom Caucus, McCarthy's ousting on October 4, and her continued attacks on her fellow House Republicans, it is suggested the MAGA congresswoman is not the dominant force she used to be.

The apparent dwindling of Greene's influence in the GOP could be seen after 23 House Republicans sided with Democrats to reject a resolution Greene introduced to censure Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib over her comments about Israel amid its war with Hamas.

On November 2, Greene lashed out at House Republicans, including "CNN wannabe Ken Buck and vaping groping Lauren Boebert"—another Republican whose relationship with Greene has become increasingly fractured—while accusing Texas Representative Chip Roy of voting with the Democrats to "protect Terrorist Tlaib."

Greene continued her fight with Roy on social media, calling him Colonel Sanders—an apparent reference to his facial hair resembling that of the KFC founder—after the congressman suggested she should "go chase so-called Jewish space lasers," a reference to an antisemitic conspiracy theory Greene previously shared on Facebook.

Donalds told The Daily Beast he spoke privately with Roy and Boebert after Greene's social media attacks but not to Greene herself.

"Honestly, I joked with [Roy] and said, 'Hey man, let me get a three-piece,'" Donalds said.

Wisconsin's Glenn Grothman, who was also one of the House Republicans who voted against Greene's resolution to censure Tlaib, told the outlet that he still considers himself Greene's friend despite her speaking out against his vote.

"I can't speak for the rest of Congress, but she's got at least one," Grothman told The Daily Beast.
