"But now it's clear that Republicans have a lot of problems with women, and these problems may be really accelerating. They're breaking out into the open. We've seen women challenging some of the highest profile leaders of the Republican Party from breaking with Donald Trump, for example, in the Epstein files breaking with Mike Johnson. Also, we've seen a lot of just wildly reactionary sexism, kind of in different corners of the right from people being hired at leading national conservative groups."
"So you pointed to the highest profile, one of these, which is when three Republican women and we're talking Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Nancy Mace. So we're not talking squishy wishy rhino whatevers. They broke with Donald Trump and with leadership to push and force a house vote to release the Epstein files. And it got ugly. Trump was bullying them."
After the 2024 election, attention shifted from Democratic struggles with men to escalating Republican struggles with women. Republican women have increasingly challenged party leadership, breaking with figures such as Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson over transparency and ethics. Three House Republicans—Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, and Nancy Mace—forced a floor vote to release Epstein files, prompting public feuds and bullying from Trump and leading to Greene's announced resignation. Simultaneously, reactionary sexism has surfaced across conservative institutions, including controversial hires at major national groups and hostile behavior in campus student organizations. These dynamics suggest intensifying gender conflict within the Republican Party.
