6:20Now PlayingIn interviews with The Daily Beast, Republican lawmakers expressed their disdain for Marjorie Taylor Greene and admitted that she's basically left with zero friends in Congress. This isn't as trivial as a high school student that has alienated their circle of friends - lawmakers in DC put themselves in horrible positions by fighting with everyone because they are then unable to actually accomplish anything for their constituents. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

According to a new report from The Daily Beast this week, Marjorie Taylor Greene has absolutely no friends in Congress. Now, that really shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody. I mean, Marjorie Taylor Greene does not exactly seem like the kind of person that I think anyone is. Like, Hey, I'd like to have a beer with her. She seems like the kind of person that was hold. If she were holding a beer bottle, you'd be like, you know what? Let me take that from you. That's something you could probably use to hit somebody. And we don't want anything bad happening. But according to the Daily Beast who actually spoke to Republicans in Congress, pretty much everybody, doesn't matter if you're far right or far left, everybody hates Marge. Here is what one Republican lawmaker had to say to the daily beast. There is no one, I have heard from dozens of members who are happy with her that trust her or confide in her.
She's continually seeking attention, building yourself up while tearing others down. I have cut ties completely. The lawmaker who refused to be named said, and honestly, that is what she does. Marjorie Taylor Greene goes out there, she says horrible things. She picks fights with other members. Even when they do what she wants them to do, she still picks fights with them, and she puts herself on tv. She puts herself on her podcast. She makes herself out to be the victim. And then everybody just is like, yeah, nobody likes you. You're not doing anything constructive. You're not doing anything worthwhile. You've literally done nothing for your constituents, and now you really can't do anything for 'em because you don't have any allies in Congress. You're just there taking up space to cause fights. And here's what I mean when I say that. She even attacks people who, who do what she wants them to do.
Last week, she sent out this post on Twitter. You voted to kick me outta the Freedom Caucus, but keep CNN want Tobe Ken Buck and vaping groping Lauren Bobert. And you voted with the Democrats to protect terrorists. Talib, she said to Chip Roy, you hate Trump certified Biden's election and could care less about J six defendants being persecuted. Now, she attacked, attacked, excuse me, vaping groping Lauren Bobert there. Now Bobert voted for her resolution to censor Rashida Tula, but she still attacked her. Like, why are you even doing that? She was your friend. I know she hasn't been this year, but she was, and she did what you wanted her to, but you're still vaping groping bobert. I don't disagree with you, but I mean, let's be real here. You don't have enough friends to off the few people who occasionally go along with the crazy things you're trying to do. But she did. And that's the situation that she's in. Um, here's another Republican lawmaker had this to say. She's creating her own enemies through unprovoked, un warned and un unsubstantiated attacks embarrassing herself through launching attacks. She later has
To retract due to their inaccuracies. Let me boil it down for you. She's unhinged like something I, in my opinion, something's clearly wrong. Like this isn't normal human behavior. Okay? These are indications that maybe there's some neurons misfiring somewhere. I don't know how all that works, but to me, kind of seems like something's not right. Like there's probably a real diagnosable problem there. Perhaps something that medication would help. She seems to have a rage problem.
