On Tuesday’s episode of The View, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R‑GA) challenged the status quo in Congress, voicing frustration at the ongoing power struggles and calling for a shift toward productivity and accountability. “I’m really tired of the pissing contest in Washington, D.C., between the men,” she declared.
Greene shared how her background sets her apart: she comes from a working‑class family and ran a construction company for over two decades. She emphasized that her 2020 campaign was built on criticizing both Republicans and Democrats. “I ran criticizing Republicans and Democrats equally,” Greene said. “I come from a working‑class family. I ran a construction company for over 20 years, and I feel like the government has failed all of us, and it purely disgusts me. It really does.”
Representing a rural, manufacturing‑based district filled with blue‑collar workers, Greene said her constituents have been “crushed by decades of failure in Washington, D.C.” She added, “So I have no problem pointing fingers at everyone. And the worst thing that I just can’t get over is we’re not working right now.” She directed her criticism squarely at the House Speaker, insisting that the primary focus must be getting the work done.
“As women, I feel very comfortable saying this—I’m really tired of the pissing contest in Washington, D.C., between the men. I really am,” she remarked. Greene also noted that she voted to fund the federal government on September 18, emphasizing her support for paying federal employees and keeping programs funded. “I want all federal employees to be paid. I want all the programs to be funded and I think that is our job— Republicans and Democrats together in the House and the Senate.”
Her remarks reflect a growing sentiment among some lawmakers and voters alike: frustration over legislative gridlock and a demand for tangible results over political theater. Greene’s call to shift the focus from infighting to action highlights a deepening divide between rhetoric and responsibility in the nation’s capital.
