Republicans in Congress privately made fun of Donald Trump only to come around to support him when he won their party’s 2024 White House nomination, the outgoing GOP House member Marjorie Taylor Greene said on Sunday.

“I watched many of my colleagues go from making fun of him, making fun of how he talks, making fun of me constantly for supporting him, to when he won the primary in 2024, they all started – excuse my language, Lesley – kissing his ass,” Greene, a Georgia Republican, said in a clip of an interview that is set to air on Sunday on CBS’s 60 Minutes program.
