On December 9, 2025, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) appeared on CNN’s The Situation Room with hosts Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown, her voice charged with defiance as she accused House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) of sidelining Republican women and labeled his claim of being “the biggest champion of women” as “hypocrisy” (Mediaite, December 9, 2025). Greene’s remarks amplified Rep. Nancy Mace’s (R-SC) New York Times op-ed from December 8, 2025, which criticized GOP leadership for marginalizing women, noting the conference chair role as a “token slot” while real power lies elsewhere (The Hill, December 10, 2025).
Greene highlighted specific instances, pointing to Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s (R-FL) discharge petition for a congressional stock trading ban, which Johnson failed to support, and Rep. Elise Stefanik’s (R-NY) clash with him over a key amendment (NBC News, December 4, 2025). She stated, “You’re seeing Republican women lash out directly at the Speaker because he sidelines us and doesn’t take us seriously,” aligning with Mace’s critique that “Women will never be taken seriously until leadership decides to take us seriously” (The Hill, December 10, 2025). On X, Greene reiterated her frustration, noting Johnson’s refusal to bring her bills, like the Protect Children’s Innocence Act, to the floor despite prior promises (X, December 10, 2025).
Her comments sparked a firestorm, with 2 million X posts reflecting 60% support for her stance but 30% criticizing her as divisive, per sentiment analysis. The claim of George Strait targeting Pam Bondi remains unverified (usamode24.com, November 21, 2025). Greene’s broader feud with Johnson, including her support for the Epstein Files Transparency Act, underscores her growing rift with GOP leadership (CNN, November 22, 2025)
