Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) accused Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) of obsessing over Tucker Carlson instead of addressing affordability for Americans, healthcare crises, and upcoming appropriations deadlines, in an X post shared over the past hour ending at 7:45 PM UTC on December 7, 2025. President Donald Trump called affordability "the greatest con job," according to separate X posts by @RepMTG and @unusual_whales. Greene stated, "Canadian born Zionist Texas Senator Ted Cruz has lost his mind over Tucker Carlson. You would think a United States Senator would be gravely concerned about affordability for Americans, the looming healthcare crisis, and actually passing appropriations with another government funding deadline coming end of January. But instead he’s gone mad with Tucker living rent free in his head," per her X post at https://x.com/RepMTG/status/1997726264300388476 during the reporting window from 6:45 PM UTC. Trump remarked, "It's a con job. I think affordability is the greatest con job," as quoted in an X post by @unusual_whales at https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1997652689040388364 over the same one-hour period. Greene's comments follow Sen. Cruz's earlier criticism of Tucker Carlson's interview with Qatar's prime minister, where Carlson announced plans to "buy a place" there, according to Cruz's X post reported earlier on December 7. Separately, X user @KAGdrogo posted that General Flynn "hints he’s ready to step in" with a fire emoji, at https://x.com/KAGdrogo/status/1997371657108029863 during the reporting window.
