Marjorie Taylor Greene continued her pivot away from Trump world Tuesday when she took a pointed swipe at Fox News throughout a pleasant look on NCS, the cable information community that the president has lengthy despised and repeatedly deemed “fake news.”
According to the far-right lawmaker, who revealed late final month that she was resigning from Congress amid a brewing feud with Donald Trump and GOP leadership, Fox News has stopped inviting her onto the community as she’s damaged away from the Republican Party and the president’s base.
Additionally, she largely heaped reward on NCS, which has been an more and more inviting platform for the one-time MAGA firebrand in latest months. Besides sitting down for a number of chummy conversations with NCS anchors Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown, she’s also appeared on the network’s Sunday morning show State of the Union to speak about her strained relationship with the president whereas apologizing for her “toxic” political rhetoric.
“I would like to say, humbly, I’m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics; it’s very bad for our country,” Greene said on State of the Union final month. “It’s been something I’ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated.”
During her NCS interview with Blitzer and Brown on Tuesday, Greene was requested about how her rift with the president – which blew open after she supported a bipartisan effort to launch the Jeffrey Epstein information – had resulted in demise threats towards her and her household.

In a one-on-one sitdown on 60 Minutes over the weekend, Greene had stated the president’s assaults and claims that she’s a “traitor” had been “directly fueling” these threats. Following the interview on the CBS Sunday night time newsmagazine, Trump raged towards the community’s mum or dad firm Paramount for reserving Greene on 60 Minutes. “THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN THE OLD OWNERSHIP,” he seethed.
“He‘s a leader in it,” Greene said Tuesday when asked if Trump was responsible for today’s “toxic” political local weather. “I name it the political industrial advanced. It‘s the two parties that are pitted against each other. And the president, he‘s a leader of that on the Republican side.”
After saying she was “literally” shocked about the “unking and accusatory” things Trump said to her when she mentioned she was receiving death threats, Greene was asked to respond to critics who feel she should “stay in the fight” and that she’s solely ready to depart Congress subsequent month to obtain her pension.
“You know, I feel that‘s unfair criticism,” she responded. “And I would ask anyone – I‘ve had over 773 death threats that my office reported to Capitol police and a direct death threat on my son. I would ask anyone to consider – should I have to become like Charlie Kirk? Is that what I have to do?”
At that point, she pivoted to taking a shot at Fox News while accusing the conservative cable giant of essentially banning her from the network’s airwaves following her feud with Trump.
“I get criticized for coming on NCS, and you just had a Republican before me on NCS,” Greene declared. “And it’s unfair criticism because Fox News doesn’t ever invite me on. They invited me one time recently after I resigned. We’ve responded back to the producer and they still haven’t said when I can come on. So, I thank you. I enjoy coming on and I appreciate the questions.”
This isn’t the primary time she’s claimed that the Murdoch-led channel has refused to guide her on its reveals. In a conversation with Vanity Fair last month, Greene alleged the right-wing community was retaliating towards her whereas claiming she watched it lower than left-leaning shops.
“She said she remains blacklisted from Fox News over her criticisms of the network, adding that she no longer watches much. ‘I watch Fox News the least,’ she said. (A Fox spokesperson disputed this, noting Greene was last on Fox News in June and February before that),” Vanity Fair reported. “Greene said she prefers to watch NCS, NBC, CNBC, the BBC, and local news.”
