President Donald Trump criticized Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia during a rally Friday, days before she is scheduled to leave Congress. Trump made the remarks at a campaign rally in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. During his speech, Trump referred to Greene as a “stone cold liberal” and “highly neurotic,”
Trump suggested their relationship deteriorated because he did not return her phone calls frequently enough.
Greene recently announced she would resign from Congress following months of tension with Republican leadership. She has publicly criticized members of her own party on issues including affordability, health care and the handling of the Epstein files.
Greene said she decided to leave Congress to avoid what she described as a “hateful primary” backed by Trump.
