Turbulence in Trump's team

“Republicans mocked Trump behind his back”

Republicans in the US Congress have mocked President Donald Trump behind his back. That's what outgoing Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said when she was interviewed on the CBS program "60 Minutes" last night.

- I saw how many of my colleagues went from pushing him, pushing the way he talks and constantly mocking me for supporting him, to [...] starting to cheer for him.

The politician also said that many party colleagues are "terrified" to criticize Trump publicly, because they are afraid that he will attack them in posts on Truth Social.

Taylor Greene was previously loyal to Trump but has ended up on a collision course with the president after taking a stand for the women who fell victim to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
