Brian Glenn says GF MTG's feud with Trump left him 'like the little divorced kid in the middle'
WASHINGTON, DC: Real America’s Voice White House correspondent Brian Glenn has spoken candidly about the strain he has faced as his longtime support for President Donald Trump collides with Trump’s escalating feud with Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who is also Glenn’s girlfriend.
The conflict has placed him in an unusually personal and professional bind, prompting him to scale back his presence at White House events in recent weeks.
Glenn told The Washington Post that Trump’s repeated public attacks on Greene and the unraveling of their political alliance left him feeling caught in the middle of a dispute he wished he could avoid.
Brian Glenn says Trump’s feud with Greene put him in an ‘awkward’ position
Glenn acknowledged that the deteriorating relationship between Trump and Greene left him struggling to navigate his role in the press corps. Although he remained on good terms with Trump’s communications team, noting that Karoline Leavitt and Steven Cheung sent supportive messages, Glenn said the tension was making routine reporting uncomfortable.
He told the Post he deliberately stepped back from attending White House events, partly to avoid moments where other reporters would question Trump about Greene. Hearing the president’s responses firsthand was difficult, he explained, because he viewed them as disproportionate.
“Like, what are you talking about, man? She’s one of your biggest supporters,” Glenn recalled thinking as Trump repeatedly attacked Greene. “She differs on a couple of issues, but she’s still in your camp. She never left your camp!”
Greene has clashed with Trump over the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, siding with Democrats and speaking at their events to advocate for disclosure. Trump strongly opposed their release and retaliated politically, calling her a “traitor” and pulling his endorsement. Greene later announced plans to resign in January.
Brian Glenn says feud made him feel ‘like the little divorced kid in the middle’
Glenn said he wanted to avoid making colleagues uncomfortable or appearing visibly affected during press briefings while Trump addressed the feud. “I didn’t want to have to stand there and listen to Trump’s response,” he said, noting the comments felt personally unfair given Greene’s long-standing loyalty to the president.
The situation left him emotionally stuck between loyalty to his partner and respect for the president he has long covered. Glenn summed up the turmoil in one line: he felt “like the little divorced kid in the middle.”
While Greene prepares to step away from Congress and Trump continues his attacks, Glenn must now balance his reporting responsibilities with the public tensions unfolding directly around him, a rare and deeply personal collision of political and private life for a member of the White House press corps.
