WASHINGTON, DC: A public dispute within the MAGA political sphere intensified after former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized President Donald Trump over his recent remarks targeting conservative commentator Candace Owens.

The exchange follows Trump’s Truth Social post in which he described Owens as an “extremely low IQ individual,” escalating tensions among prominent figures within the Republican-aligned media and political ecosystem.



Greene responded with a direct accusation on social media, writing, “President Trump hates women he can’t control,” a statement that has drawn significant attention within conservative circles.

The latest episode comes months after Greene’s resignation from Congress in January 2026, which followed reported disagreements over issues including the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and the administration’s approach to the 2026 Iran conflict.

In her response, Greene pointed to several personnel changes involving senior female figures in Republican politics. She referenced the departures of Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, and Lori Chavez-DeRemer, stating that each had exited their roles under varying circumstances.

Greene also cited Elise Stefanik, claiming her nomination for UN ambassador did not move forward following internal decisions involving House leadership. These developments, according to Greene, reflect broader shifts in leadership dynamics within Trump’s political network.

No official statement from the White House has linked these personnel changes to a coordinated policy or strategy, but the departures have drawn attention amid the broader political context.

Iran war dissent triggers 'low IQ' attacks



The dispute is unfolding alongside disagreements over US policy in the 2026 Iran conflict. Several conservative commentators, including Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones, have publicly criticized aspects of the administration’s approach, marking a departure from earlier alignment.

Trump has responded to some of these critics on Truth Social, grouping multiple figures together and describing them as having “one thing in common—Low IQs.” The remarks have further widened divisions among right-leaning commentators and political allies.

Candace Owens and Alex Jones have also issued statements critical of the president, reflecting an increasingly visible divide within segments of the conservative base.

The dispute between Trump and several high-profile commentators has introduced new tensions within a coalition that has historically operated in alignment.

Greene’s comments have added to the debate, particularly as discussions around the Iran conflict and domestic political strategy continue ahead of the 2026 midterm cycle.
