Republican Congressman Mike Lawler has sharply criticized former colleague Marjorie Taylor Greene, describing her transformation as moving from a “sycophant to psychopath” after she accused him of hating former President Donald Trump.

The New York representative responded to Greene’s comments during an interview with Tucker Carlson, where she suggested that Lawler secretly despises Trump, even labeling him “literally a Democrat” at one point.

“He hated Donald Trump, mocked him frequently, and even imitated his voice,” Greene claimed, speaking of Lawler, who she said was part of the GOP caucus she felt compelled to “fight for” once she arrived in Washington.

Lawler didn’t hold back, responding to Greene with a detailed post on social media.

“Marjorie Taylor Greene, also known as the ‘Jewish Space Laser Lady,’ ‘Moscow Marge,’ and one of the least intelligent individuals to have served in Congress, holds no credibility on any topic,” he stated.

“Unlike Marjorie, who has shifted from sycophant to psychopath over the past five years, I have remained consistent in my beliefs and identity,” Lawler asserted.

‘I voted for the President 3 times, was a delegate in 2016, and have worked with the President to deliver results for my district, including lifting the cap on SALT.’

Lawler didn’t deny that he refuses to be in lockstep with Trump 100 percent, presenting as a point of authenticity.

‘When I agree with the President, I say it. When I disagree with the President, I say it. I will always represent my district and do what I think is right for our country. 

‘Marjorie can go sit and spin, as she goes down in history as one of the least liked and most ignorant members to ever serve.’

Greene accused Lawler of bullying her over having supported Trump during his failed 2020 campaign. 

‘He used to attack me, make fun of me, come and find me on the House floor,’ she told Carlson.

However, once Trump returned to power four years later, she said Lawler underwent an ‘unbelievable change,’ going from his prior behavior to ‘all of a sudden becoming Trump’s biggest supporter.’

Lawler’s behavior proved clarifying for Greene, who has become a Trump critic in the past 12 months.

She said she saw him bragging about a Trump-autographed MAGA hat that showed him people like her, who had ‘fought for him when no one else would’ were not being rewarded for that loyalty over Lawler. 

‘He’s literally a Democrat. He’s so against all the things that Republican voters care about, and he clearly hates Donald Trump.’

On the other side, the DCCC released a hit piece on Lawler last fall claiming he voted with Trump 100 percent of the time. 

‘Fake moderate Mike Lawler was elected to represent the Lower Hudson Valley, but it looks like he’s been doing the bidding of Donald Trump instead,’ they claimed.

Federal filings show New York Congressman Mike Lawler spent more than $150,000 in campaign funds on luxury perks including limousines, high-end hotels and private boat charters from 2022 to 2025

In March, The Daily Mail revealed Lawler’s campaign fund splashed more than $150,000 on limousines, private boat charters, five-star hotels, celebrity restaurants, and ritzy resorts, financial filings reveal.

The ‘lavish’ spending, along with his favorable relationship with a lobby group for luxury hire cars, has led his critics to dub him ‘Limousine Lawler’.

Records from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show the second-term Republican’s campaign funds were splashed on a $3,400 dinner at a celebrity-frequented sushi restaurant, $7,355 on private boat charters at an upstate New York resort, a $1,300 ‘meeting’ at the Venetian in Las Vegas, a $700-stay at a Florida beachfront Ritz-Carlton, $560 at a Beverly Hills boutique.

His campaign also spent tens of thousands on events at the Ryder Cup golf tournament and elite country clubs.

A national limousine lobby group honored Hudson Valley-based House member Lawler, 39, with a special fundraiser last year, and luxury car hire company executives have donated over $20,000 to his campaign.

His political fund, Lawler for Congress Inc., spent $10,959.26 on limousine companies in 2024 and 2025. 

Lawler’s spokesman defended the expenditure, saying he is a top fundraiser and that all expenses were legitimate.
