Marjorie Taylor Greene, especially since leaving Congress earlier this year, has emerged as one of the loudest critics of the war in Iran. She also had a stunned reaction to something Trump said about the war’s potential endgame.

According to Mediaite, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, on his radio show, asked Trump this week how he will know the war in Iran is over. The exchange went like this:

KILMEADE: When are you going to know when it’s over?

TRUMP: When I feel it.

KILMEADE: OK.

TRUMP: When I feel it in my bones.

KILMEADE: Will you ask anybody in particular? Would that be some of these, a joint decision?

TRUMP: Well, I deal with people. I have great people.

KILMEADE: Yeah.

TRUMP: I have General Raizin Caine. I have Pete. Pete’s turned out to be a star. Marco’s great. J.D. I’ve got all good people. I’ve got — we’ve got a great group.

KILMEADE: So you — let’s talk about, if I can, looking back in history, George Shultz and Caspar Weinberger, two smart guys disagreed in front of Reagan. Rumsfeld and Colin Powell disagreed in front of George W. Bush.

In your cabinet, with the vice president, secretary of state, what is it like, what are the dynamics when you have a big decision like Iran or Venezuela? Are people speaking up and speaking their minds even if.

Greene reacted to the “bones” comment with shock, in an appearance on CNN.

“I can understand they’re in a difficult position,” Greene said on the CNN show. “They serve at the pleasure of President Trump, and so I would imagine that’s a difficult spot to speak out. But they need to speak out. This is getting– it’s going in a direction where we’re looking at possible boots on the ground.”

When Kaitlan Collins asked specifically about the “bones” comment, Greene answered by saying, “I have no idea what that means… the same way I have no understanding of what he means when he says he doesn’t think he’s going to heaven. So I, you know, those are statements that I find concerning. So, I honestly have no idea what that means.”
