Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) lashed out at her own political party for "misogyny" in a recent interview.
While speaking to conspiracy theorist Russell Brand on Wednesday, Greene suggested that "the patriarchy" was misunderstood.
"I was actually thinking about the patriarchy and how the patriarchy has been framed for many, you know, millions and millions of young women and teenage girls," she said. "And I was thinking, you know, the patriarchy is actually something truly different than how it's been framed and how these young women think."
"But the whole term, f--k the patriarchy, which is freeing to be able to say, needs to be redefined," she continued. "I think the patriarchy is so much different than how they've been taught."

But Greene noted that she had also been a victim of the patriarchy in the Republican Party.
"There's misogyny, not just coming from the media, perhaps, or the Democrats," she observed. "It's in our Republican Party, too."
"A lot of these guys, they want to control the power, and they really probably don't want women up there telling them what to do, or taking charge, or being in the lead," the lawmaker asserted.
