President Trump attacked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Truth Social after she criticized him in a “60 Minutes” interview. Greene said his comments fueled threats against her and her son; she also said she did not believe he had driven her from Congress.
Trump called Greene a “low IQ traitor” and said she had changed her views because she was “JILTED” by him. In her “60 Minutes” interview, Greene said Trump had forsaken his base and was not living up to his “America First” motto; she also criticized his focus on crypto and pharmaceutical industries. Greene is preparing to resign before her term ends.

Vance, who replied, “We’ll look into it.” The interview also included Greene’s criticism of Republicans in Congress for being afraid to challenge Trump and an exchange with correspondent Lesley Stahl about Greene’s past insults.
