Trump humiliates Marjorie Taylor Greene, telling her to ‘be nice’ to Speaker Johnson after her push to oust him

Donald Trump tried to quell divisions within the House Republican conference on Thursday when he stopped by Washington DC to attend meetings with the full House and Senate Republican caucuses.

But he did so in a very Trumpian way — by publicly humiliating one of his own allies, Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.

The ex-president was reported by Politico’s Olivia Beavers to have singled out the outspoken conservative gadfly during his remarks to Republicans in the lower chamber.

Pointing to Mike Johnson, the speaker of the House who recently survived an effort led by Greene to remove him, Trump called out Greene: “Hello Marjorie… are you being nice to him?”

Separately, he is said to have praised Johnson as having done a “great job” in the less than one year he has served in the speaker’s chair. Johnson took over last fall after the chamber’s Republican majority scrambled for weeks to elect a new speaker in the wake of a rebellion by conservatives that ousted Kevin McCarthy, Johnson’s predecessor. McCarthy would go on to resign from the House altogether, having served less than a year in the role of speaker.

Greene confirmed the account in an interview with CNN after the meeting.

“He saw me...he said ‘Hello, Marjorie’ — he’s always so sweet — recognizes me, and he says, ‘Are you being nice?’ He was joking: ‘Are you being nice to Speaker Johnson?’”

“And I said, ‘Ehhh’,” Greene continued, explaining that she had indicated otherwise: “And he said, ‘OK, be nice to him.’ And I nodded my head.”

Johnson and Greene’s conflict stems from an issue on which the Georgia congresswoman is firmly in the minority: Ukraine. Despite opposition from his party’s right wing, Johnson relented to pressure from the Senate and Democrats
