Representative Fred Upton, a Michigan Republican, criticized Sunday the "MTG element," a reference to GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, saying she and others make it "hard" to govern.
Upton was among the 10 House Republicans to vote to impeach former President Donald Trump for inciting his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. After more than three-decades serving in Congress, the Michigan Republican announced his retirement on April 5 in the face of a Trump-endorsed opponent as well as redistricting that significantly changed his constituency.
In an interview with NBC News' Meet the Press, the GOP lawmaker said that he is confident his party will take back control of the House after the midterms later this year. Upton added, however, that whether Republicans will be able to govern effectively will depend on the kind of majority they hold.

What he means is, REAL Republicans make it hard for Democrats and liberal Republicans to pass Democrat agenda items.
Good. We don’t want to be governed. Americans want to be represented.
Like you said Cotton, MTG makes it hard for RINOs to pretend to be Republicans and makes it hard for them to go along with rigged elections.
Get a clue, you totalitarian globalist puke. You are NOT elected to “govern” us.
You are elected to REPRESENT us!
Up yours Mr upton. People like MTG gime me hope you terds won’t sign my life away to a foreign country.
That's all you need to know about this creep.
We just let the riggers have the Presidency. I don’t see how we are going to prevent organized election rigging for all races, in the future.
The Republic is undone by government education and medicine, two extensions of government which I doubt the Founders ever anticipated.
Hear hear
Ya buddy, it’s called a ‘ check ‘ and ‘ balance ‘
Get used to it, there’s a boat load more coming the prog uniparty way.
You All gonna have to find some new marks .
Also, MTG makes it hard for him to scam his constituency.
Good thing he won’t need to worry about being held accountable anymore.
MTG is getting in the way of the corrupt establishment uniparty.
Good work MTG.
Good. Americans are suppose to be hard to govern
Good differentiation.
Thank you very much indeed! ☺️
He’s a dinosaur, a deep state dinosaur. Good riddance. Along with the commie from Oregon, Peter de Fazio, he will not be missed. What is wrong with the water in Washington D.C.? It turns everyone into swamp rats.
He’s emblematic of what’s wrong with the US government. He’s been in Congress for ~36 years. His grandfather founded the Whirlpool Corporation, and Upton himself is worth ~$78 million (probably more that doesn’t show up in official figures). Another career politician country club Republican.
Maybe political dynasties aren't always bad.
“Good. We don’t want to be governed. Americans want to be represented.”
Yes. Worth repeating.
We’re lucky, at least he didn’t say “rule”.
This is why we can’t have nice things. Democrats will stand with their far-left colleagues. But Republicans will not stand with their far-right* colleagues.
* Yeah, I know “far-right” is not the best term to describe MTG. But I’m too tired to think of a better one.
