Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) fired back at radio and Fox News host Mark Levin on Saturday for “attacking” her on social media, saying it stems from her being “unapologetically America First.”
Greene called on House Republicans last month to stop funding Israel ahead of the September government funding deadline, claiming the United States is enabling Israel to wage a “genocide” in Gaza.

On Saturday, Levin commended journalist Laura Loomer for “exposing” Greene, saying the Georgia Republican “sounds like a lunatic and Marxist-Islamist Jew-hater.”
“She has abandoned her congressional district. A complete embarrassment. And now Laura has exposed her as a nasty hypocrite and phony,” Levin posted on X.
Greene responded to Levin’s comment by calling him a “raging psychopath,” sharing a screenshot of a reply the radio host gave on X that suggested she should be sent to prison in 2028.
“Ever since I called for a recorded vote on my amendments to defund U.S. taxpayer money to Israel and other foreign countries/foreign aid, Mark Levin has rabidly been attacking me. And then the attacks started from AIPAC,” Greene posted on X, referring to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
“Do you see the pattern? Fox News host Mark Levin, a once hateful NEVER TRUMPER, is 100% Israel FIRST and America LAST!!!” Greene added.
Former Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz, who now hosts his own show on One America News, came to the aid of his former colleague, saying Levin wouldn’t win “a single congressional district in America” against Greene. Gaetz also had Greene as a guest on his show Thursday, where she said AIPAC needs to register “as a foreign lobbyist.”

It’s not the first time Greene and Levin have feuded, as he called her a “shameless nitwit” after she criticized the U.S. strikes against Iranian nuclear sites in June. Greene responded by suggesting no one watches Levin’s show on Fox News.
Greene is not the only lawmaker to dish criticism against AIPAC. Last year, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) rebuked the committee for accusing him of siding with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) after he didn’t attend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress, saying, “I still won’t be attending your war rally.”
