‘President Is Losing Support’: MTG in Heated Clash Over Government Shutdown

Conservative News DailyOctober 28, 2025

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a strong early supporter of the MAGA movement, expressed frustration with her fellow Republicans adn even President Trump during a closed-door GOP conference call. She criticized House Republicans for not engaging sufficiently with thier constituents amid the ongoing government shutdown, which she believes is damaging the party’s reputation despite common claims that Democrats are too blame.Greene urged GOP leaders to return to their districts and listen to voters, emphasizing that real people expect them to fulfill their legislative duties independently of the White House’s political strategy. She also suggested that dissatisfaction over the shutdown is reaching Trump himself.

House Speaker Mike Johnson responded by defending the party’s efforts and President Trump’s achievements,questioning the usefulness of Greene airing grievances publicly. Though, Greene continued her criticisms on social media, demanding specifics on the GOP’s healthcare plans and expressing frustration with the house being out of session. She highlighted her own vote to fund the government and pointed out that both parties in the senate share duty for the shutdown. Greene also stated she would not except a paycheck during the shutdown, underlining the urgency she feels to resolve the political impasse and return Congress to work.

One of the most ardent and earliest supporters of the MAGA movement appears to be running out of patience with her peers — and perhaps even her president.

GOP Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who could still be fairly described as pro-MAGA, vented her frustrations during a House Republican-led, lawmakers-only conference call on Tuesday, according to Fox News.

The main crux of Greene’s ire? She argued that the GOP is wasting its Congressional majority by refusing to actually meet its constituents and hear from them, and that this ongoing government shutdown — no matter how much it’s blamed on Democrats — still reflects poorly on them.

“You guys need to get out of Washington, D.C., and go back to your districts and talk to real people, because real people are pissed,” Greene told House GOP leaders, per Fox. “They expect us to do our legislative constitutional duty and not take marching orders from the political team at the White House.”

Greene, after noting how she was an early adopter of Trumpism, then made the blistering point that some of this blowback about the shutdown and lack of legislation was reaching Donald Trump himself:

“Even the president is losing support.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson allegedly refuted Greene’s statement, praising both the GOP track record and President Donald Trump’s accomplishments.

“He’s not sleeping. I’m not sleeping … because we are working around the clock,” Johnson said.

Johnson then jabbed Greene for airing her grievances on social media: “How does that help us, Marjorie?”

If Greene’s follow-up action was any indication, it’s clear that that particular plea from Johnson fell on deaf ears.

You left out that I said I have no respect for the House not being in session passing our bills and the President’s executive orders.

And I demanded to know from Speaker Johnson what the Republican plan for healthcare is to build the off-ramp off Obamacare and the ACA tax… https://t.co/eiY6M8tJyD

“You left out that I said I have no respect for the House not being in session passing our bills and the President’s executive orders,” Greene posted. “And I demanded to know from Speaker Johnson what the Republican plan for healthcare is to build the off-ramp off Obamacare and the ACA tax credits to make health insurance affordable for Americans.

“Johnson said he’s got ideas and pages of policy ideas and committees of jurisdiction are working on it, but he refused to give one policy proposal to our GOP conference on our own conference call.”

In an earlier X post, Greene laid out just how important resolving this government shutdown — and getting her peers back to work — was for her. Interestingly, unlike her party’s talking point, Greene seems to believe both sides of the aisle are to blame for the ongoing shutdown.

As a member of the House, I voted YES to fund the government at the end of September, it’s now up to the Senate.

I have not and will not take a paycheck during the government shutdown.

Again as I’ve been saying from the beginning, the political drama and government shutdown can…

“As a member of the House, I voted YES to fund the government at the end of September, it’s now up to the Senate,” Greene posted earlier in the day. “I have not and will not take a paycheck during the government shutdown.

“Again as I’ve been saying from the beginning, the political drama and government shutdown can easily and quickly be resolved by both Democrats and Republicans in the Senate.”
