the co-hosts on the air expressed astonishment that this was the Marjorie Taylor Greene they were seeing.
And in addition to The View, Greene was speaking to other media outlets.
Though what she had to say during these interviews wasn't openly critical of the administration, implicitly she was striking a note of disagreement.
And it clearly got under President Trump's skin.
The great umbrage that he took was expressed finally.
With a posting that he made on Truth Social.
In which he called her Marjorie Trader-Green, belittled her.
It said that she was always trying to call him, but that he had no time for this, that she was pouting because he hadn't been supportive of her political ambitions.
But now he not only had had enough of her.
The president even suggested he'd be open to backing a challenger to her seat in Congress.
He alluded to the distinct likelihood that he would try to find a Trump loyalist who would primary her in her congressional race in 2026.
She was deeply upset, most of all by the label of her as a traitor.
And, of course, the implication was that she was a traitor not just to President Trump and to the MAGA movement, but a traitor to America.
And she was really outraged by that.
What she also reacted to was a torrent of death threats that came in.
This, in a sense, was not new to Greene.
She had gotten death threats really from early on in taking office.
Lots of things like that were happening.
They were all happening from the left, however.
