Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Now Feuding With Fox News, Calling Them "Propaganda," And It Is Getting Messier By The Minute
'We've watched propaganda news for decades. I'll call out Fox News and the New York Post. They're known to be the neocon network news,' Greene told former Florida GOP lawmaker Matt Gaetz on his show on One America News Network.
'We have propaganda news on our side, just like the left does, and the American people have been brainwashed into believing that America has to engage in these foreign wars in order for us to survive, and it's absolutely not true,' Greene continued.

Greene's comments came a week after Israel launched attacks aimed at a nuclear and military site in Iran, killing some of the country's top generals. In response, Iran launched missiles at Israel.
President Donald Trump said he knew Israel's attacks on Iran were coming, even calling them 'excellent.' While Trump said the U.S. is not directly involved in the conflict between the two countries, he did not rule out future involvement.

Greene went on to criticize Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who blasted U.S. reluctance to get involved in the conflict with Iran.
'Today, it's Tel Aviv. Tomorrow, it's New York,' Netanyahu said in an interview with ABC News on Monday, adding, 'Look, I understand 'America first.' I don't understand 'America dead.''
The Georgia Republican told Gaetz that Netanyahu's remark 'sounds like a threat to me,' adding that 'a Middle Eastern war will pull America back 20 years.'
'In order for America to not be dead, it's to stay America First, and this is what the American people want,' Greene said. 'It is not antisemitic to say that we do not want to go to war against Iran or any other country. That is not antisemitic at all.'
Greene reiterated that she is 'completely opposed to this war' before criticizing Israel for launching the first strike against Iran.
'Of course, we don't want to see the people in Israel bombed, but they're only being bombed because Israel attacked Iran first, and that's the truth that we need to be talking about,' she said.This article originally appeared on HuffPost.

Inside the Republican revolt in the House over the Epstein files that led to the early summer recess for Congress
House Republicans revolted against GOP leadership over the Trump administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files in the days before Speaker Mike Johnson ushered in the chamber's early summer recess to avoid dealing with the crisis, according to a report. As controversy over the administration's refusal to release all government files related to the sex offender continues, Johnson faced a 'growing crisis' of his own among key GOP allies as leadership refused to bring any action on Epstein to the House floor, Politico reports. Behind the scenes, GOP leaders faced a 'standoff' with rank-and-file members who were 'incensed' when they were forced to vote against a Democratic-led effort to release the Epstein files a week before, according to the outlet. Some lawmakers reportedly 'begged' for action on Epstein in closed-door meetings as they warned Republican leadership that the problem wasn't going away. The new reported details illustrate the chaos of what was happening behind the scenes as President Donald Trump continues to be plagued by the case of the convicted pedophile. GOP Rep. Virginia Foxx of Virginia, chair of the House Rules Committee that serves as a final gatekeeper to legislation where a simple majority vote is required, threatened to bring activity on the House floor to a halt unless a better solution to the Epstein issue was put forward, two people with knowledge of the conversation told Politico. The rebellion prompted Trump to meet with GOP members of the House Rules Committee in the Oval Office Tuesday, according to the outlet. Johnson moved to shut down the committee, which meant that the House will not be able to tee up votes to pass many of the spending bills that Congress hoped to pass before the August recess, when members break to go back to their districts. But Johnson likely faces further rebellion in September. 'I think the administration will put more stuff out in August … if they don't, then I promise you, there's going to be some more looking at this in the first week of September,' warned Rep. Chip Roy of Texas. Republican lawmakers have expressed anger over the Epstein fallout, and said they are under intense pressure from constituents on the issue. The rebellion of House Republicans who favored releasing more documents in the Epstein case came as a 'surprise' to White House officials, according to Politico. One anonymous GOP member told CNN that members wanted a chance to vote on the issue. 'To be accused of trying to cover up for a pedophile, it's detestable,' they told the network. Word had got out that Democrats were planning to force an Epstein-related vote Monday. At a meeting with GOP Rules Committee members that evening, Johnson reportedly presented three options on how to proceed. Ultimately, leadership opted to halt the action of the House Rules Committee. 'The rule was going down anyway,' a source with knowledge of the meeting told Politico. 'So the choice was clear.' Johnson defended effectively shutting down the House while speaking with reporters Wednesday. 'No one in Congress is blocking Epstein documents,' he said. The rebellion follows recent revelations that the Department of Justice told Trump that his name appears multiple times in the Epstein files, according to multiple senior administration sources. The sources told The Wall Street Journal that Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy, Todd Blanche, informed the president during a May meeting at the White House that the president's name emerged after they sifted through a 'truckload' of documents related to Epstein. Following the Journal's report, sources familiar with the exchange confirmed the account to both The New York Times and CNN. Appearing in the files does not indicate that an individual has committed any wrongdoing, nor has Trump ever been accused of misconduct in connection with the Epstein case. 'This is another fake news story, just like the previous story by The Wall Street Journal,' White House communications director Steven Cheung said about the claims Trump was named.

Trump and the GOP working on an ‘agenda 2027' to tell voters what to expect if they retain Congressional control
President Donald Trump and his White House are influencing GOP congressional candidates and advising who to run and who to stand down as Republicans try to keep control of both chambers of Congress in midterm elections next year. The White House is strategizing to make sure Republicans win enough seats and is putting together 'a 2027 policy agenda' so Trump, who plans to join candidates on the campaign trail, can explain what continued GOP control of the House, Senate and the White House could look like, a White House official told Politico. This strategy includes telling which Republican candidates to run for office and which to 'stay put,' the official said. For example, Iowa Republican Rep. Zach Nunn was weighing a gubernatorial run when the president told him to 'stay put,' the outlet reported. Nunn this month announced he was running for re-election. 'After prayerful consideration with his family and the strong support from President Trump, Zach is more committed than ever to maintaining the Republican majority and advancing the America First Agenda,' the congressman's campaign spokesperson said. The president has also publicly endorsed Nunn. The president also advised Michigan GOP Rep. Bill Huizenga to avoid running for Senate. Trump instead publicly backed Senator Mike Rogers this week, saying he 'has my Complete and Total Endorsement — HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!' Earlier this month, Trump met with Iowa Senator Joni Ernst to encourage her to run for re-election, Politico previously reported. Questions about Ernst's political future swirled after her viral remark about proposed Medicaid cuts: 'We all are going to die.' 'President Trump is the unequivocal leader of the Republican Party — just look at those who have bet against him in the past because they are no longer around,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Politico. 'The President will help his Republican friends on Capitol Hill get reelected, and work to pick up new seats across the country.' Democrats are likely hoping for a repeat of the 2018 midterms, when they destroyed Republicans' trifecta by taking control of the House during Trump's first term. 'I'm sure there's some memories from 2018, but it's all about these last two years of his presidency and his legacy, and he doesn't want the Democrats nipping at his heels all the time for the last two years,' Tony Fabrizio, the pollster for Trump's 2016 and 2024 campaigns, told Politico. Trump has acknowledged the power he has to influence voters. He recently suggested holding rallies for candidates, two White House officials told the outlet. The president reportedly told one of the officials last week: 'We're going to have to campaign in the states and really get out there a lot, huh? Because really, it's just me that can pull them out in a lot of places.' Republican strategists have said they plan to use the threat of Trump's third impeachment, should Democrats take the House, to compel voters. 'We know what the stakes are in the midterm elections,' John McLaughlin, a Trump pollster, told NBC News this week. 'If we don't succeed, Democrats will begin persecuting President Trump again. They would go for impeachment.' The White House also plans to use its 2024 campaign strategy as a guide, targeting young and working-class voters that came out to support Trump in droves. 'One of the main strategies is to put Trump on the ballot in the midterms,' one of the White House officials told Politico. 'We'll have a midterm agenda that we're running on. Not only here's what we've done, but here's what we're going to do next.' Democrats are eating up that idea. Democratic National Committee spokesperson Rosemary Boeglin told the outlet: 'The White House has the DNC's full support in their plans to put Trump on the campaign trail with frontline Republicans to tell the American people that they took money out of their pockets, took food off their table, and took away their health care in order to give massive handouts to billionaires.'
