WATCH: MTG Trashes Republicans Once Again, Claims Critics Are Sexist
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) once again trashed Republicans as part of her ongoing tour on left-wing media circuits, this time attacking Republicans and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) over costs associated with the Obama-era Affordable Care Act (ACA). The congresswoman later claimed that critics of her recent shift are sexist.
Extension of ACA credits — which are set to expire at the end of the year under the term’s of the Democrat-passed Inflation Reduction Act in 2021 — have become a central point of the Democratic Party’s narrative on the ongoing government shutdown. Senate Democrats have voted against a House-passed temporary funding measure known as a continuing resolution (CR) more than a dozen times, resulting in what projects to be the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
Republicans, as well an increasing number of business and labor leaders, have called on Democrats to pass the clean CR in order to end the shutdown in order negotiate on ACA credits for the fiscal year 2026 budget reconciliation.
During an appearance on “Real Time With Bill Maher,” Rep. Greene endorsed much of the Democratic Party’s talking points on the shutdown dispute. “I mean, I would love to know what the Republicans really want to do about health care, which is the premiums are going to go up tomorrow,” Maher said, to which Greene agreed.
“Me too. I’m waiting for the plan. I haven’t seen it yet. That’s been a lot of my angst. So a lot of the things I say are against my own party, but they’re mainly my frustrations in Congress. I believe that Congress should be solving a lot of these problems. However, Congress is not solving these problems. And I have Republican leadership,” she said.
“You know, looking at Obamacare, it was passed in 2010. It went into place in 2014, and premiums have skyrocketed ever since. It was good for some that couldn’t afford health insurance or couldn’t get health insurance. But for the middle class, small business owners, people that had to buy their own insurance, it has crushed them. And so I’ve been demanding to know.”
The congresswoman then stated that healthcare costs have skyrocketed due to the ACA before circling back to blaming the current crisis on Republicans. “Here’s why I’m angry. The Democrats passed Obamacare, but yet the Republicans have never done anything to correct the problems that exist with it. And I blame my own party. That’s absolutely wrong. And I don’t think it’s an easy thing to fix. However, it’s something that we should have a plan for. And Mike Johnson, for a month now, cannot give me a single positive policy idea, and I’m angry about that,” she said.
The American people are getting CRUSHED by skyrocketing health insurance costs.
My family’s policy jumped from $800 to over $2,400 a month, more than our mortgage. And it’s about to get even worse in January.

The latest segment comes ahead of Greene’s planned appearance on “The View” this coming Tuesday and follows in line with a recent trend of attacking the Republican Party and accusing the Trump Administration of failing to put Americans first.
While speaking with comedian Tim Dillon, Greene suggested that the president’s tariff policy is aimed at enriching “crypto donors.”
“And I’m talking to major manufacturing companies that are-, they’re saying we support the president, we support what he’s trying-, his long-term goal. but we’re having problems with these tariffs. And now we’re have problems, we can’t get supplies from this country, and we can’t get supplies for this country. And there’s-, there’s problems,” the congresswoman said.
“But has the, has-, have regular people’s bank accounts been, been affected? Has the stress come off? No, that has not happened yet and that needs to be the major focus,” she added. “It shouldn’t be about helping your crypto donors, or your AI donors, or welcoming in these people that hated you and spent money to try to beat you, but all of a sudden are excited to come out to the to the new Rose Garden patio. That shouldn’t be the focus.”
In a social media post Thursday, Greene suggested that critics upset with her rhetoric are sexist and part of an organized campaign.
“There are pathetic Republican men (mostly paid social media influencers) attacking me for going on Bill Maher’s show and The View,” the congresswoman posted on X. She then stated that she has worked to be America First throughout her political career, linking to a Conservative Review scorecard that gives her a 100% “liberty score.”
“Sorry I’m not sorry I don’t obey Republican men’s demands that I, as a woman, don’t remain seen but not heard,” she added.
