In a pointed exchange on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” anchor Maria Bartiromo challenged Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on the ramifications of her actions within the GOP and their potential impact on President Trump’s reelection bid.
Bartiromo wasted no time in addressing the widespread criticism Greene has faced regarding her efforts to oust Speaker Mike Johnson. She raised concerns about how Greene’s actions could be perceived as creating unnecessary turmoil within the party during an election year.
Greene, however, pushed back against the notion that she was responsible for stirring drama, asserting that those criticizing her were the ones truly responsible for the ongoing chaos in American politics.

She maintained that her actions were aligned with the sentiments of the American people, who she claimed were increasingly disenchanted with both major parties.
Despite the mounting criticism, Greene defended her approach, emphasizing her commitment to representing the voices of ordinary Americans who feel disillusioned with the current state of politics. She argued that her actions were a response to the perceived failures of both the Republican and Democratic parties to address the concerns of the electorate.
Bartiromo also questioned Greene about her decision not to file a motion to vacate the Speaker’s chair following the passage of additional foreign aid, particularly to Ukraine. Greene expressed her disappointment with the bill and criticized Speaker Johnson for what she perceived as his role in its passage.

She highlighted the symbolic gesture of waving the Ukrainian flag on the House floor as indicative of what she viewed as a betrayal by Johnson and a failure of Republican leadership.
The interview underscored the deep divisions within the GOP and the challenges facing the party as it seeks to maintain unity and credibility heading into the next election cycle. It also shed light on Greene’s continued efforts to assert her influence within the party, despite facing criticism from both sides of the political spectrum.
