In a high-profile interview, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., bashed President Donald Trump, accusing her onetime political ally-turned-foe of inciting death threats against her and her son and failing to live up to his campaign pledge to focus on improving the lives of Americans.

“For an ‘America First’ president, the No. 1 focus should have been domestic policy, and it wasn’t. And so, of course, I was critical, because those were my campaign promises,” Greene said in an interview that aired Sunday on CBS News’ “60 Minutes.” “Once we fix everything here, then fine, we’ll talk to the rest of the world.”

Later, CBS News' Lesley Stahl asked Greene: “Are you MAGA?”

“I am America First. ... MAGA is President Trump’s phrase. That’s his political policies," Greene said, referring to Trump's signature motto, "Make America Great Again." "I call myself America First.”

In a Truth Social post Monday morning, Trump said Greene was "not AMERICA FIRST or MAGA, because nobody could have changed her views so fast, and her new views are those of a very dumb person."
