Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Monday fired back at conservative political commentator Scott Jennings after he accused her of becoming a “lib” in 2025.
Greene, a former staunch MAGA loyalist who publicly split from President Trump on a number of high-profile issues this year, defended her voting record as closely aligned with the president’s agenda and accused Jennings of standing against “America First” values.
“Oh look I’m being lied about again by Bush neocon and Mitch McConnell consultant Scott Jennings,” the Georgia Republican wrote in a post on social platform X.
Jennings, a CNN senior political commentator, served in President George W. Bush’s administration and has held senior campaign positions for former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and former Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) — when the latter was running for president.
“I have a 98% voting record with Trump so I guess Scott is calling Trump liberal too,” Greene continued. “Scott Jennings is everything America First voted against, he just fools people with hot takes.”
Her comments came in response to a clip Jennings shared from his Sunday appearance on ABC News’s “This Week,” during which panelists discussed the biggest political stories of 2025.
“MTG became a lib. I mean that’s what happened this year,” the commentator said. “She got a little bent out of shape because the president wouldn’t support her for a statewide office in Georgia, which she was going to lose if she had gotten into it, by the way. And so she goes off the deep end.”
Greene emerged in recent months as a prominent proponent of releasing government files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, often infuriating the president. Trump ultimately reversed his position on the issue and gave Republicans a green light to vote legislation to compel the Justice Department to share the documents, which he signed into law.
The lawmaker also became one of the few Republicans in Congress to repudiate her party for failing to adequately prioritize the issue of expiring health care subsidies, which she said were slated to make life more expensive for many of her right-leaning constituents and even her own adult children.
Greene has said that she no longer ascribes to the “MAGA” label, which she says is reserved for Trump’s core supporters, but she says she still embraces the “America first” agenda. Following their fallout, the president pulled his endorsement for her reelection bid.
She announced in November that she will leave Congress on Jan. 5.
