Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Monday that President Trump shut down the Senate ambitions of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), causing some backlash from the Georgia Republican against the White House.
“Here’s some tea for you,” Ocasio-Cortez said during an Instagram livestream. “MTG, people are like, ‘Oh my God, she’s saying all these things, like, what’s gotten into her lately?’ ‘Oh, like, she’s bucking against Trump, she’s bucking against the administration.’”
“Marjorie Taylor Greene wanted to run for Senate in Georgia. She wanted to run for Senate earlier this year in the state of Georgia, she wanted to be the Republican nominee for Senate. So, she was gearing up for that statewide race, and Trump told her no,” the New York Democrat added.
“Trump said no, and the White House and Trump Land shut down Marjorie Taylor Greene’s personal ambitions to run for Senate, and she has been on a revenge tour ever since.”
In May, Greene announced that she would not enter Georgia’s Senate race next year to challenge incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff (D).
“Even with a few good Republicans in the Senate, nothing changes. So no, Jon Ossoff isn’t the real problem. He’s just a vote. A pawn. No different than the Uniparty Republicans who skip key votes to attend fundraisers and let our agenda fail,” Greene said in a post on the social platform X at the time.
Greene has said she’s accepted Trump might not be pleased with her because of her recent criticism of her party.
“I do love him,” Greene said, talking about the president, on “The View” on Tuesday.
Greene has also said her party is going to lose the lower chamber of Congress if the cost of living does not go down...

She is not Senate material.
Oh like , fur sure ,LOL
Dear Schmuckie:
Be afraid, very afraid.
Current Senators are NO better than the run of the mill House member.
Perhaps, on average, worse.
MTG shot herself in the foot.
Kinda rings true to me.
Exactly, she likely found out none of her constituents back home would vote for her to be Senator.
Trump knows she’d likely lose.
Like, like, like, like, like, like—get a life and a vocabulary—and maybe some dental work.
AOC and MTG are both air heads.
When is enough publicity ENOUGH for AOC? We’re not likely to forget that she exists so she could really just go away now!!
YEP - good idea....
It would be state wide and I don’t think she would have the appeal in places like Atlanta that she does in her district.
A lot of elected officials want to be podcasters instead of doing their jobs.
Correct. Attention ho is squad material, just ask her new friend.
She plays checkers; Trump plays world class chess. Sometimes it’s necessary to accept a lesser evil.
That sure seems to be true in her case!!!
AOC sounds like a valley girl stuck on stupid.
‘Oh my God, she’s saying all these things, like, what’s gotten into her lately?’
Satan is stealing souls and minds. I don’t believe that God makes mistakes, but I don’t see how giving Satan so much power on earth just doesn’t seem like a good idea.
