The Georgia Republican is fast falling out of favor for her opposition to the Ukraine aid bill.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greeneā€™s failed fight to end aid to Ukraine, and herĀ sort-of-serious crusadeĀ against House Speaker Mike Johnson, has cost her the support of right-wing media.

The Sunday front page of the New York Post, owned by the conservative Murdoch family, was the latest outlet toĀ attackĀ Greene, invoking the ā€œMoscow Marjorieā€ nicknameĀ coinedĀ by former representative Ken Buck.

Fox News, another arm of the Murdoch media empire, had alreadyĀ taken aimĀ at the Georgia Republican last week, with columnist Liz PeekĀ callingĀ her an ā€œidiotā€ and saying she needs to ā€œturn all that bombastic self-serving showmanship and drama queen energy on Democrats.ā€ This follows an editorial last month from The Wall Street Journal, also in the Murdoch portfolio, that called Greene ā€œRep. Mayhem Taylor Greeneā€ and accused her and her allies of being ā€œmost interested in TV hits and internet donors.ā€

Even a non-Murdoch outlet is on the attack, as conservative Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Debra SaundersĀ demandedĀ to know ā€œwho put Marjorie Taylor Greene in charge?ā€

    Thatā€™s because the politics sub was long ago taken over by people who wish to abuse the system for their personal gain. Amongst them are some right-wing trolls who have no problem with abusing their power.
