GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Tuesday slammed President Donald Trump for his comments on the murders of Rob and Michele Reiner, as she predicted more Republicans will follow her lead in breaking with Trump.
“I thought that statement was absolutely completely below the office of the president of the United States, classless, and it was just wrong,” Greene told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source.”
Greene, who is retiring from Congress in January after a bitter falling out with Trump, suggested the cracks in the Republican Party are growing wider.
“I think the dam is breaking,” she warned, pointing to recent Republican breaks with Trump.
Last week, 13 House Republicans - in a rare rebuke of the president - voted with Democrats to restore collective bargaining rights he had stripped from about 1 million federal workers earlier this year.
“Those 13 Republicans that voted to take down his executive order last week, literally that same evening put on their tuxedos and their evening ballgowns and went to the White House Christmas party. That’s pretty bold,” Greene told Collins.
In the same week, Indiana Senate Republicans rejected Trump’s push to redraw the state’s congressional districts to produce two more GOP-friendly seats.
“That is a sign where you’re seeing Republicans, they’re entering the campaign phase for 2026, which is a large signal that lame duck season has begun,” Greene said. “He’s got real problems with Republicans within the House and the Senate that will be breaking with him on more things to come.”
