Low-Level GOP Rep. Turns On MTG, Incurs Her Wrath: 'What's The Point?'
Later in the day, and while feuding with "Squad" Democrat Ilhan Omar (D-MN) over the possible pardon of Derek Chauvin, MTG took another swipe at her more
It was a busy day of back-and-forth between Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and a bipartisan chorus of haters who piled on her over a slew of past and present statements. But it was the intraparty criticism of a fellow GOP lawmaker that prompted particular wrath from the MAGA member.
Mike Lawler (R-NY), a political consultant-turned milquetoast politician who is believed to be weighing a decision about whether to run for governor of New York in 2026, ridiculed Greene as the âJewish Space Laser ladyâ after she decried his comments about the state and local tax (SALT) deductions in President Donald Trumpâs âbig, beautifulâ bill currently working its way through U.S. House negotiations.
After Lawler expressed his doubts about supporting the bill, Greene accused her northern colleague of threatening to tank Trumpâs signature economic legislation unless the tax cut is raised beyond the threefold increase already contained in the latest draft.
âMike Lawler usually isnât the guy in the conference with the best ideas, after all we lost a Republican held seat to a Democrat the last time Republicans voted for one of his âgreatâ strategy,â she wrote on X.
âNow Mike Lawler is a NO on Trumpâs big beautiful bill because he wonât accept a SALT cap increase from $10K to $30K per year.
âWhatâs the point in Republicans fighting to protect and keep re-electing âRepublicansâ if they constantly undermine the agenda America voted for???â
She added: âWhatâs the point in Republicans fighting to protect and keep re-electing âRepublicansâ if they constantly undermine the agenda America voted for???â
Her quip prompted Lawler to fire back with one of his own.
âShockingly, the âJewish Space Laserâ lady once again doesnât have a clue what she is talking about,â Lawler said in an X post seen by the NY Post.
âBy the way, the reason you enjoy a gavel is because Republicans like me have won our seats. Good luck being in the majority if we donât.â
Later in the day, and while feuding with âSquadâ Democrat Ilhan Omar (D-MN) over the possible pardon of Derek Chauvin, MTG took another swipe at her more moderate GOP colleague.
âBusy day fighting Democrats. First Mike Lawler who is trying to destroy Trumpâs agenda and now illegal alien Ilhan Omar of Somalia,â she wrote.
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is trying to thread a needle with his ideologically diverse GOP majority and can afford to lose only a handful of votes in the face of unanimous Democratic opposition. In addition to complaints by the likes of Lawler, Johnson is also contending with consternation by ultra-conservative Freedom Caucus members who say that cuts to government spending donât go far enough to pay for the tax deductions.
President Trump has let the negotiations run their course, instead focusing his public remarks on his Middle East trip while highlighting trade deals accomplished since last weekâs announcement that the U.S. had reached a 90-day pause in tariffs with China.
A draft of the legislation released this week teases plenty of wish-list items for Republicans eager to see popular tax deductions put in place for the remainder of Trumpâs term. Among them would be âMAGA accountsâ filled with $1,000 and given to new parents of children born during his time in office.
