“It’s the most deserved insult and I don’t care if it’s vulgar,” Greene says as MAGA feud turns personal
WASHINGTON — “It’s the most deserved insult and I don’t care if it’s vulgar.” That was former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s message Monday as she jumped into the increasingly nasty public feud between Megyn Kelly and Fox News host Mark Levin, backing Kelly after Kelly mocked Levin in crude terms on social media. Greene wrote on X that she “wholeheartedly support[s]” Kelly’s attack on Levin and argued that President Donald Trump’s defense of Levin had only made grassroots anger worse.
The blowup did not come out of nowhere. It is part of a wider fracture inside Trump-aligned media circles over the war with Iran and the role of Israel in U.S. policy. The Associated Press reported last week that some conservative voices who usually support Trump — including Kelly and Tucker Carlson — had started openly criticizing the administration’s approach to the conflict, exposing a real divide inside the MAGA coalition.
Kelly and Levin have been clashing for days, with the fight moving from foreign policy into personal insults. Public posts reviewed through X and multiple news reports show Kelly using the “micropenis” insult against Levin after accusing him of repeatedly attacking her online, while Levin responded by calling Kelly “emotionally unhinged” and otherwise lashing back.
Greene’s post mattered because it showed the dispute spreading beyond a two-person media spat and into the broader anti-war wing of MAGA. AP had already identified Greene as one of the prominent Trump-world figures angry about the Iran action and leaning into an “America First, not Israel First” argument. By siding so aggressively with Kelly, Greene turned a vulgar insult into a political statement about who she thinks is steering the movement in the wrong direction.
Trump then added fuel to it by publicly defending Levin. News reports Monday said Trump praised Levin as a “Great American Patriot” and dismissed his critics as jealous or not truly MAGA, making clear he was taking Levin’s side in the conservative civil war. That mattered because it transformed the fight from ugly online drama into a visible split over loyalty, war and who gets to define the movement.
