New York Rep. Mike Lawler mockingly dismissed fellow Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene as a “Jewish Space Laser lady” while trading barbs in a heated war of words.
Lawler took aim at the conspiracy-loving MAGA loyalist while battling it out on social media Wednesday over changes to the state and local tax (SALT) deductions outlined in President Trump’s “big, beautiful” spending bill.
Greene (R-Ga.) struck first, bashing Lawler for trying to thwart the president’s signature policy bill unless the SALT deduction cap is increased.
“Mike Lawler usually isn’t the guy in the conference with the best ideas, after all we lost a Republican held seat to a Democrat the last time Republicans voted for one of his ‘great’ strategy,” she wrote on X.
“Now Mike Lawler is a NO on Trump’s big beautiful bill because he won’t accept a SALT cap increase from $10K to $30K per year.”
She added: “What’s the point in Republicans fighting to protect and keep re-electing ‘Republicans’ if they constantly undermine the agenda America voted for???”
Lawler quickly fired back at the firebrand GOP lawmaker — mocking her over her history of conspiracy-driven social media posts.
“Shockingly, the ‘Jewish Space Laser’ lady once again doesn’t have a clue what she is talking about,” Lawler said in an X post.
“By the way, the reason you enjoy a gavel is because Republicans like me have won our seats. Good luck being in the majority if we don’t.”
