Greene labeled Republicans Issa, Cliff Bentz of California, Colorado Rep. Ken Buck, John Duarte of California, North Carolina’s Virginia Foxx, Tom McClintock of California, North Carolina Rep. Patrick McHenry, and Ohio Rep. Mike Turner as traitors in a seven-minute video posted on the X platform the morning after her measure failed.
