Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a Republican whose relationships within her own party have grown increasingly strained, said in an interview with Vanity Fair that she now watches nearly every major news outlet more often than she watches Fox News.
Greene has recently found herself at odds with prominent Republicans — most notably President Donald Trump — after breaking with the party on several issues and, at times, aligning with Democrats.
Her most visible departure came in the fight over the files tied to Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased sex trafficker whose case continues to generate political friction. While Trump and members of his administration have repeatedly dismissed the ongoing controversy surrounding Epstein as a “hoax,” Greene pressed for the public release of the files, insisting that transparency was necessary.
Her position drew a swift and harsh response from Trump, who has branded her a “traitor” and announced he was pulling his support from her re-election bid next year. As her criticism of the right has grown, so too has interest in her from the left, contributing to an unusual realignment in how she is received across the political spectrum. A recent Vanity Fair interview by Aidan McLaughlin highlighted this shift.
According to the profile, CNN invited Greene on air for the first time in her career. She also appeared on “Real Time With Bill Maher,” where Maher introduced her as “the one Republican who’s dissenting.” Greene agreed to go on “The View,” she said, largely because the invitation was new. During her appearance, Joy Behar joked, “You’re taking my job.”
Greene told Vanity Fair that she believes she remains effectively barred from Fox News because of her criticism of the network. She said she watches it rarely now. “I watch Fox News the least,” she said. A spokesperson for Fox News disputed her assertion, noting that she last appeared on the network in June and had also been interviewed earlier in February.
Greene said she now prefers outlets such as CNN, NBC, CNBC, the BBC, and local news, an unusual shift for a Republican whose political rise was buoyed by conservative media and who had long been a fixture on Fox News–aligned platforms.
On Tuesday morning, Greene appeared at a press conference alongside victims of Epstein and responded directly to Trump’s escalating attacks. Her remarks reflected the widening rift between her and much of the Republican establishment, a divide that has grown sharper as she has pushed positions that contrast with the party’s messaging and challenged leadership on issues where dissent has typically been limited.
Greene’s ongoing clash with Trump and her move toward outlets traditionally viewed skeptically by conservatives reflect a complicated moment in her political trajectory. Once firmly aligned with the far right, she now occupies a more unpredictable place in the national conversation — embraced in some new quarters and isolated in others — while continuing to provoke reaction from across the political landscape.
