Scott Jennings' remark against Marjorie Taylor Greene



Greene and Jennings exchanged insults on Monday, December 29, following Jennings’s appearance on ABC’s 'This Week' over the weekend.

Sharing a clip of his appearance where he made the arguments against the Congresswoman.

He captioned his post, “MTG became a lib this year… So what? The MAGA ‘division’ narrative is overblown intentionally by those who want to see President Trump fail. Trump is still extremely popular among Republicans; he’s the strongest Party boss in the modern era. It’s time to focus on winning.”

“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,” he said during the interview.

Greene hit back at Jennings, writing, “Oh look I’m being lied about again by Bush neocon and Mitch McConnell consultant Scott Jennings.”

“I have a 98% voting record with Trump so I guess Scott is calling Trump liberal too. Scott Jennings is everything America First voted against, he just fools people with hot takes,” Greene added.

She then shared a screenshot from Jennings’s entry on Wikipedia, referring to his past work for both President George W Bush and Mitch McConnell.

In an article published in The New York Times on Monday, Greene spoke to Robert Draper and blasted Trump’s inner circle’s approach to women and beauty standards.

“I never liked the MAGA Mar-a-Lago sexualization. I believe how women in leadership present themselves sends a message to younger women.”

Greene told the Times, adding, “I have two daughters, and I’ve always been uncomfortable with how those women puff up their lips and enlarge their breasts. I’ve never spoken about it publicly, but I’ve been planning to.”

Greene, in recent times have been leading the rising isolationist wing of the GOP and has aligned herself with the likes of Tucker Carlson and JD Vance and has gone scorched earth on Trump in recent weeks.
