Marjorie Taylor Greene blasts AIPAC after it criticizes her
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) doubled down on her characterization of Israel's war in Gaza as a 'genocide' on Friday and slammed AIPAC after the powerful pro-Israel lobbying group criticized her in a fundraising email. In an appearance on One America News Network on a show hosted by former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), the Georgia Republican said that AIPAC should have to register as a foreign lobbyist. She also posted to social media a photo of a sign on her office door reading 'no foreign lobbying.' 'Israel is not hurting, and they've already proven that they are more than capable of not only defending themselves, but annihilating their enemies to the point of genocide,' Greene said on OANN. 'And that's what's happening in Gaza.' A fundraising email sent by AIPAC Thursday, first reported by Al-Jazeera, characterized the GOP firebrand as anti-Israel. 'You expect anti-Israel smears from [Rep.] Rashida Tlaib [(D-Mich.)] and [Rep.] Ilhan Omar [(D-Minn.)],' the group wrote, referring to two progressive Muslim lawmakers. 'But now, Marjorie Taylor Greene has joined their ranks — spouting the same vile rhetoric and voting against the US-Israel alliance.' AIPAC donates to lawmakers from both sides of the aisle and sponsors yearly trips to Israel for lawmakers. One trip over the August recess included House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who had dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 'Anti-Israel extremists – of the right or the left – will not deter us in our participation in the democratic process to stand with Israel,' the group said in a statement to The Hill. 'It is an outrageous betrayal of American values and interests to abandon an ally fighting terrorist aggression.' Greene has frequently broken with her party over Israel and has been perhaps the most prominent Republican to characterize the war in Gaza as a genocide, a flashpoint amid a worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The Georgia Republican recently sponsored several resolutions to block military aid to Israel. In 2024, she opposed a bill to codify certain definitions of antisemitism over the inclusion of the statement that Jews killed Jesus, which she claimed is biblically supported. On the Democratic side, lawmakers have increasingly turned to criticize Israel in recent weeks as widespread hunger and malnutrition in the strip have become more apparent, documented by press reports and international aid groups. Greene, however, has been largely alone among Republicans looking to criticize the Israeli government. 'The reason why AIPAC is attacking me is because I dared to tell the truth,' Greene said on Gaetz's show.

Matt Gaetz's embarrassing texts to his mom about Trump, his personal finances revealed
Former Rep. Matt Gaetz was caught texting his mom for advice on how to deal with President Trump — in a wide-ranging conversation in which the TV host also flexed about his real-estate assets and having '$500,000 in the bank.' In the 72-second video — surreptitiously filmed by a passenger on a recent flight and posted on TikTok by user 'tidesofmarch' — Gaetz's conversation is in full view, thanks to a zoomed-in screen that made the message text larger. 3 Former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz was filmed having a text message conversation with his mom, Vicky, on a recent flight. Matt Gaetz The user captioned the exchange 'POV: You're sitting behind Matt Gaetz and he's texting his mommy.' Advertisement Gaetz's mom, Vicky Gaetz, warned the ex-Florida congressman 'Don't be criticizing the president or his actions. He's trying to keep us safe. That's his job. MAGA will turn on you. You will lose viewership,' the doting mother warned. 'Your days in congress are over … let's not mess up the media gig,' she said of his job as host of 'The Matt Gaetz Show' on One America News Network he started in January. 'The president has been a very good friend to you. He hates betrayal. Be smart, not stubborn,' his mom admonished. Advertisement 'I'm trying to guide him, not criticize him,' Gaetz insisted. 'I've never been freer to share my views – and I'll continue to do so. I think about the people who cheered for the Iraq war because they liked Bush. Those people have blood on their hands,' he said. Vicky advised her son against trying to guide the notoriously independent-minded commander-in-chief, to which Gaetz replied, 'Guiding DJT always includes a private and public component … I know how to do it,' he insisted. 3 Gaetz boasted about his net worth and real estate holdings in the exchange. TikTok/ @tidesofmarch Advertisement The conversation veered into his finances, his mother asking, 'how many times do you want to hit the wall?' Gaetz replied with a flex of his family and assets. 'I'm a happily married man with a son on the way, two penthouse condos, a 1:1 real estate asset to debt ratio … and $500k in my bank account cash,' he touted. On the topic of Iran, Gaetz claimed the Islamic Republic has 'been 3 months away from a nuke since 1992.' Advertisement 3 He also claimed he was skilled at 'guiding' President Trump. TikTok/ @tidesofmarch After the exchange went viral, Gaetz responded on X in a lighthearted fashion. 'Apparently someone sitting behind me on a flight recorded me without my knowledge. They found me texting my mother about news of the day, family finances, and working on my laptop,' he wrote. 'Please let this be a reminder to everyone to CALL YOUR MOTHER! (and maybe get a screen protector)' Gaetz, 43, replied to a question on X about the giant-size text, explaining, 'My eyesight has gotten very poor in recent years.' Gaetz vacated his congressional seat last year when Trump tapped him to become attorney general but withdrew his nomination due to swirling allegations about his personal life — including that he paid two women for sex and had an affair with a 17-year-old.

Greene rips ‘screeching' Levin, Fox News
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) ripped Fox News, conservative pundit Mark Levin and others on the right she says are rooting for the U.S. to escalate the conflict in the Middle East. 'Mark Levin, obviously, he was a Never Trumper from the beginning. He hated Donald Trump. He was totally against him and tried to stop him from becoming president, but yet now somehow Mark Levin is the voice of MAGA? I don't think so,' Greene said during an appearance on former Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-Fla.) show on One America News Network. 'We're MAGA. We're the voice of MAGA, and the people totally agree with us. So, you know, it doesn't matter what Mark Levin actually has to say,' she added in remarks first highlighted by Mediaite. The Georgia Republican continued, saying Levin's 'screeching' is 'unbearable' and adding, 'I think Fox News needs to reel him in, although I won't expect much out of them.' Greene is one of several Trump-loyal figures who has repeatedly attacked 'neo-cons' who argue the U.S. should play a bigger role in helping Israel fight its ongoing war with Iran. The Republican cited pundit Tucker Carlson, former White House aide Steve Bannon and others she says are more accurately representing the views of the president's followers on potential foreign wars. Levin hosts a Sunday evening program on Fox and is known for his fiery monologues, which often feature him raising his voice and admonishing Democrats, the media and others who oppose Trump.

Matt Gaetz educational qualification: From law school to MAGA stalwart
Matt Gaetz Matt Gaetz, the firebrand Republican from Florida, has reemerged in the national spotlight—not from the House floor, but from behind a news desk. Now a prime-time host on One America News Network, the former congressman blends legal training and political experience to deliver searing critiques of US foreign policy. Gaetz's call for Israel to abandon its nuclear arsenal, and his suggestion that Donald Trump deserves a "Trump Peace Prize," underscore his growing role as a media provocateur shaping the MAGA movement's evolving stance on the Israel–Iran conflict. Gaetz, a prominent Republican figure, has carved a distinctive path in US politics, leveraging his educational background and legal expertise to rise from Florida's state legislature to national prominence. Known for his fiery rhetoric and alignment with former President Donald Trump, Gaetz's journey reflects a blend of academic rigor and political ambition, culminating in his recent role as a media host on One America News Network. Born in Hollywood, Florida, Gaetz's career trajectory showcases a commitment to public service, shaped by his formative years in education and law.

His time at FSU honed his analytical skills, preparing him for the complexities of legal and political challenges. He pursued further studies at the William & Mary Law School, graduating with a Juris Doctor in 2007.

His vocal opposition to Middle East regime-change wars, as expressed on his One America News Network show in 2025, reflects his congressional experience and skepticism of military overreach.
