Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene expressed regret over President Trump's recent public attacks, signaling a possible shift in their tumultuous relationship.
The Republican lawmaker had previously been one of Trump's most ardent supporters, but her criticism of his handling of the January 6 US Capitol attack and his response to the COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant falling out between them. Since then, Greene has been vocal about her frustration with Trump's behavior, including his attempts to overturn the election results.
In an interview with CBS News' Nikole Killion on "60 Minutes" Sunday, Greene spoke candidly about her feud with Trump and offered what she believed was a bleak assessment of the Republican Party's chances in the upcoming midterms. Her comments, however, did not sit well with the former president, who responded by attacking Greene on social media.
In a surprising turn of events, Greene now claims to be "starting to feel very sorry" for Trump, suggesting that she believes his behavior has gone too far. This marked a significant shift in her stance, as just weeks ago she was one of the most vocal defenders of Trump's actions. While it is unclear what prompted this change of heart, Greene's apparent regret over Trump's attacks may be seen as an attempt to distance herself from him and salvage her own political career.
