    The Georgia congresswoman specifically referenced Elise Stefanik, the Republican Rep. from New York. Trump initially nominated Stefanik to serve as U.S. ambassador to the U.N., but then reportedly pulled her nomination to maintain a safe majority in the House of Representatives. Instead, he nominated former national security adviser Mike Waltz.

    Greene said Stefanik got “screwed” by Speaker Mike Johnson and people in the White House – Greene specifically said she did not blame the president.

    It’s the party that’s to blame, not the authoritarian ruler who controls it.
