Marjorie Taylor Greene Accuses Fox Reporter of Writing ‘Hit Pieces’ After Her Call for a ‘National Divorce’

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is lashing out at a Fox News reporter for writing about her call for a “national divorce.”

In a tweet on Monday night, Greene wrote, from has written two hit pieces on me today, but has not out even once to ask me for a comment.”

“Houston, you should read the comments to your own piece. People agree with me and not the RINO governor of Utah,” she added.

Her tweet comes after Fox News’ Houston Keene wrote stories focused on her call for the country to be divided into “red states and blue states.”

The first article was headlined, “Rep. Taylor Greene suggests ‘national divorce’ on Presidents Day.” It accurately quoted her tweet and labeled her a “far-right” lawmaker and a “firebrand.”

Additionally, the story pointed out the Georgia congresswoman faced criticism for previous comments she made — which she has said she regrets.

It did not weigh in on the merits of her suggestion or share some apocalyptic scenario of what would happen in the event of a “national divorce.” Nor did it try to cast Greene as an extremist.

The article was also not leveling some unfounded allegation against the congresswoman. Instead, it was based on a comment she tweeted.

Keene’s second article was about Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) calling Greene’s comments “destructive and wrong and—honestly—evil.”

“We don’t need a divorce, we need marriage counseling,” he said in a tweet, adding, “And we need elected leaders that don’t profit by tearing us apart. We can disagree without hate. Healthy conflict was critical to our nation’s founding and survival.”

Typically, when you think of a hit piece, you might think of an article with some bombshell allegation or one that takes a politician’s words out of context.

However, on Monday, Greene wrote quite clearly, “We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government.”

She later shared a lengthy tweet thread explaining her vision for a scenario of a “national divorce.”

In her vision, states would agree to a “legal agreement to separate our ideological and political disagreements by states while maintaining our legal union.”

It is unclear how writing about something Greene publicly stated, and a reaction to it qualifies as a hit piece.
