Marjorie Taylor Greene calls 'weak Republicans' the 'real cancer' of the party in response to McConnell attack

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene fired back at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell after he referred to her as a “cancer” in the Republican Party. 

“The real cancer for the Republican Party is weak Republicans who only know how to lose gracefully,” the Georgia Republican tweeted Monday. “This is why we are losing our country.”

Earlier in the day, McConnell referred to Greene as a “cancer” in the Republican Partybecause of old social media posts promoting conspiracy theories that have prompted Democrats to call for Greene’s expulsion from Congress. 

Greene has been active on Twitter, defending herself against attacks from Democrats, posting on Tuesday that Congress is more of a threat to people than she is.

“For the last 20 yrs I've been raising a family, creating jobs, signing paychecks,” Greene tweeted. “For the last 20 yrs Congress has run up trillions in debt, bogged us down in endless wars, and stripped Americans of precious civil liberties. But they want you to believe I'm the ‘greatest threat.'"
