Media Buzz’ host Howard Kurtz dur­ing Sun­day, June 29 show won­dered if Greene seemed “a lit­tle defen­sive” in the viral clip she post­ed on X of her cussing out a reporter

Mean­while, Mar­shall chimed in and said, “Sor­ry, a lit­tle? You know, I mean, between our pres­i­dent and this one and every­body just drop­ping f‑bombs even on nation­al tele­vi­sion, I got­ta tell you, Howie, it’s real­ly hard to keep peo­ple, espe­cial­ly kids, in check when our lead­ers can’t be.”

Mar­shall told Kurtz that “we need to get back to decen­cy, deco­rum, respect”, espe­cial­ly at a time when the nation’s lead­ers, to quote the pres­i­dent, “don’t know what the f*** they’re doing”, accord­ing to Dai­ly Beast.

Inter­est­ing­ly, Greene was crit­i­cal of Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump’s deci­sion to involve the Unit­ed States in “anoth­er for­eign war” as the US attacked Iran and destroyed its major nuclear sites

Dur­ing the phone inter­view, the reporter asked Greene, “For a long time, you’ve been Trump’s most out­spo­ken ally in Con­gress. It feels like over the past cou­ple weeks you’ve shown a will­ing­ness to break with him, and I’m won­der­ing just what’s behind that?”

I have always been Pres­i­dent Trump’s most out­spo­ken ally,” the Con­gress­woman replied.

Mean­while, she decid­ed to pull a page out of  the POTUS play­book and cussed the jour­nal­ist. She said, “I just want you to know how I am per­ceiv­ing your inter­view here is more of an attack piece on me.”

Greene added, “And I don’t know who is putting you up to it, and I don’t know why you’re writ­ing it, but I think it’s absolute bulls**t and I’m going to com­plete­ly reject it.”

Leslie Marshall criticizes MTG for her rude behavior toward reporter

Leslie Mar­shall called out Greene’s rude behav­ior and said, “You can dis­agree with some­body, even some­body ask­ing hard ques­tions, and not swear and not yell and not hang up on them.”

She added, “It is a fair ques­tion because Mar­jorie Tay­lor Greene has flip-flopped and waf­fled her­self between her sup­port for the pres­i­dent and then things that she has crit­i­cized him for, or has been more with some of the tea par­ty mem­bers like Rand Paul.”

Mean­while, Greene is not known for hav­ing a warm rela­tion­ship with the press. She had ear­li­er lashed out at a British reporter and also accused PBS reporters of being com­mu­nists, Dai­ly Beast report­ed.

Dur­ing the Sun­day show on Fox News, reporter Car­o­line Downey added that she wasn’t a “huge fan of all these new trends of film­ing your­self in pub­lic with reporters,” and didn’t think that Greene under­stood the president’s move.

She told Kurtz, “I think Mar­jorie Tay­lor Greene is mis­un­der­stand­ing that Trump has always been con­sis­tent that Amer­i­ca-first is not com­pat­i­ble with a nuclear Iran; he is just the only one of all the pres­i­dents in the past to address it. This has been his con­sis­tent posi­tion for a long time.”

Internet slams Marjorie Taylor Greene

Sev­er­al inter­net users slammed Mar­jorie Tay­lor Greene for cussing out a reporter dur­ing a phone inter­view last week, and upload­ing the clip on social media.

A user wrote on X, “We don’t need reporters to tell us any­thing. We all see you post­ing real­ly stu­pid things, right here on X. Amer­i­cans were nev­er attacked by Iran? Why don’t you just sit down and shut up,” while one added, “I don’t care what you @RepMTG had to say to him. You’ve lost any cred­i­bil­i­ty you might have had. Your behav­ior was rep­re­hen­si­ble. Your job is to stand by Pres­i­dent Trump. Loy­al­ty is every­thing. Caus­ing divi­sion helps no one. You chose divi­sion.”
