Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) ripped Fox News, conservative pundit Mark Levin and others on the right she says are rooting for the U.S. to escalate the conflict in the Middle East.
“Mark Levin, obviously, he was a NeverTrumper from the beginning. He hated Donald Trump. He was totally against him and tried to stop him from becoming president, but yet now somehow Mark Levin is the voice of MAGA? I don’t think so,” Greene said during an appearance on former Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-Fla.) show on One America News Network.
“We’re MAGA, we’re the voice of MAGA, and the people totally agree with us. So, you know, it doesn’t matter what Mark Levin actually has to say,” she added in remarks first highlighted by Mediaite.
The Georgia Republican continued, saying Levin's “screeching” is “unbearable” and adding “I think Fox News needs to reel him in, although I won’t expect much out of them.”
Greene is one of several Trump-loyal figures who has repeatedly attacked so-called “neo-cons” who argue the U.S. should play a bigger role in helping Israel fight its ongoing war with Iran.
The Republican cited pundit Tucker Carlson, former White House aide Steve Bannon and others she says are more accurately representing the views of the president's followers on potential foreign wars.
Levin hosts a Sunday evening program on Fox, and is known for his fiery monologues, which often feature him raising his voice and admonishing Democrats, the media and others who oppose Trump.
