Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s five-year battle with the antagonistic and dismissive Washington press corps reached new heights this week when the Georgia Republican said media lies have helped to destroy its credibility in America.
In a clash with a reporter over President Donald Trump’s pardoning of those convicted in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots, Greene said that the media has lost connection with what the public cares about in its effort to smear her and the president.
“This insane place up here, and all of y’all’s obsession with Jan. 6 is absurd. Everybody outside of here is f***ing tired of it,” Greene said in an impromptu Capitol interview posted on X.
“I’ve seen all the Democrat-run networks ad nauseam about Jan. 6, and they just can’t get over themselves. But they don’t give a sh*t about real Americans,” she said.
The lawmaker added, “They’re tired of the hypocrisy up here, and they hate the media right now. They do. I’m serious. You guys have created a situation where you’re not trusted, and people are sick of you, and it’s sad. I’m serious; it’s sad.”
