Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has hit out at any potential GOP colleagues who do not support Donald Trump's agenda.

During an interview on The War Room With Stephen K Banon on Saturday, Georgia Republican Greene said that Trump gave the Republican Party a "shot of testosterone" and that the GOP had heavily relied on the MAGA agenda for its recent electoral success.

She said: "That means we ran with Trump endorsements, that means we ran on pro-Trump policies and that means that our conference is changing. We are not the conference of the past, we are not the GOP of the past.

"People are going to start seeing that difference, starting in January. Now, am I going to say that everyone there is great and is going to do their job? Absolutely not. Because I don't trust anyone."

The Republican continued: "Thanks to the Republican voters and donors all across America who have backed and supported Trump's policies, America First policies that are changing our Republican conference.

"And again I'll raise that the majority of our [House] majority is America First starting in January, it is pro-Trump and that means we are going to be working hard and going after them and, you want to know something, the ones who don't want to do it - we're going to be lighting them on fire with the people behind my back and the people supporting every single bit of it."

Greene also admitted she was "frustrated and fed up" with establishment Republicans who had failed to support Trump during the Robert Muller investigation.

She then hit out against the Republican Party for failing to unify against the Joe Biden administration.

Greene also told Bannon that Republicans needed to "totally gut the FBI and the Department of Justice," amid her claims they had suppressed information about Hunter Biden's laptop ahead of the 2020 election.

Independent journalist Matt Taibbi posted a series of conversations between Twitter staff discussing how they would censor users from sharing a New York Post article about Hunter Biden.

His laptop has been at the center of controversy and allegedly contains emails sent between Hunter Biden and Chinese and Ukrainian companies.

The Washington Post reported in March that the emails provide "little new insight" into Hunter's work for Burisma and that they did not implicate his father, the president.

Newsweek has contacted House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Greene's office for comment.

This week Greene hit out against allegations she was actively working against Trump and his agenda.

Greene rubbished claims made by conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, who twice failed in her bid to be elected to Congress, who said the Republican and her former intern Milo Yiannopolous had worked together to sabotage Trump's chances of winning the next election.

Yiannopolous is now the campaign manager for Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, who has made a string of anti-Semitic comments and also praised Adolf Hitler.

Loomer claimed, without evidence, that Yiannopoulos was still working for Greene.

In response, Greene hit out at Loomer and claimed she was "desperately trying to remain relevant" by spreading misinformation about her.
