In the early days of the Trump Administration, there have been actions taken to strike against most people Donald Trump has traditionally seen as his enemies, from immigrants to DEI administrators. However, America still has a free press, and there doesn’t appear to be much that Trump can do to change that.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, however, clearly wishes that were different.
The occasion was this week’s pardons of the January 6 offenders, a cause very close to Greene’s heart for the last four years.
Greene on Wednesday posted a three-minute video of herself being confronted by reporters about blanket pardons, including for some people convicted of violent acts against police officers.

“After 4 yrs, I’m fed up with Washington DC press,” Greene said on X, over the video. “Your assumptions are ignorant, and you are absolutely disconnected and clueless about what is important in life and to Americans. You have destroyed your credibility. With social media like X, you can’t lie about me anymore.”

When a reporter is shown walking up to Greene, the Congresswoman asks whether she’ll be asking about the Biden Family, “the rapers and killers.”
“This insane place up here, and all yall’s obsession with January 6 is absurd,” Greene says to the reporter, Melanie Zanona of Punchbowl News, an outlet that covers Congress.
“It is nauseating!” Greene said. “I’ve seen all the Democrat-run networks ad nauseum about January 6th. And they just can’t get over themselves. But they don’t give a shit about real Americans!”
“I’m so sick of you people and all this crap!” Greene added. “I really am!”
Zanona, this week, has been reporting about the House Republicans’ plans to form “a new select subcommittee to continue GOP investigations into January 6.” She was, in this act, merely a reporter doing her job and getting comments from a key figure in a story she was covering.
