Right-wing firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has taken aim at Fox News’ aging audience while firing back at insults from conservative commentator and Donald Trump ally Mark Levin.
Speaking to the far-right streaming network Real America’s Voice, Greene addressed Levin’s recent remarks, in which he labeled her “dumb and crazy.” According to a Daily Beast report Thursday afternoon, Levin declared, “The Republican Party isn’t going the way of Marjorie Taylor Greene or her ilk. No way!” He also called Greene “an absolute lunatic with an IQ of a snail.”
In response, Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized Fox News’ demographics. “Fox News had better start paying attention, but their problem is, most of the people that watch Fox News are very much up in age,” she said. “The Baby Boomer generation—who I love, those are my parents—but that’s their biggest audience. That’s not the future of America.”
Citing a 2023 report, the Los Angeles Times noted Fox News’ median viewer age is 68. While Fox is not alone—all major cable news networks have audiences that skew older—Greene argued that Levin and similar voices are disconnected from younger Americans.
“He’s insulting big-time people that are under the age of 40,” Greene said. “Those younger generations don’t have a future in America because of Mark Levin and people like him and their policies that have destroyed our country for decades now.”
Greene also pointed out that Levin had never reached out to her personally. The Georgia congresswoman has increasingly distanced herself from her party’s leadership and even from Trump on certain issues.
She has voiced opposition to the 10-year ban on states regulating artificial intelligence, criticized Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” opposed bombing Iran, condemned the handling of the hunger crisis in Gaza, and criticized Trump’s administration for refusing to release files connected to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
“I don’t know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I’m kind of not relating to the Republican Party as much anymore,” Greene told the Daily Mail, as recalled by The Daily Beast. “The course that it’s on, I don’t want to have anything to do with it.”
Her public feud with Levin underscores growing ideological rifts within conservative media and the Republican Party itself—splits that may widen further as generational politics and diverging policy priorities come into play.
