Republican Bashes Trump Over ‘Low IQ’ Attack on Candace Owens

President Donald Trump’s latest attack on Candace Owens has exploded into a fresh MAGA feud, with former ally Marjorie Taylor Greene accusing him of going after women he “can’t control” in a blistering public takedown.

The clash erupted after Trump shared a doctored magazine cover targeting Owens and mocked her as “low IQ,” triggering outrage across conservative media and opening yet another crack inside his political movement. But what made this latest blowup especially explosive was not just Trump’s swipe at Owens. It was Greene’s response, which turned the story into a full-blown internal war.

Greene, once one of Trump’s fiercest defenders, did not soften her words. She accused him of lashing out at outspoken women who refuse to “worship him,” framing his latest post as part of a broader pattern of hostility toward female critics and former supporters.

The controversy began when Trump used Truth Social to attack Owens over her recent comments about France’s first lady. In the post, he shared an altered magazine cover branding Owens the “Vile Person of the Year” and then escalated the insult by calling her “an extremely low-IQ individual.”

That alone was enough to ignite backlash. But Greene’s response sent the drama into overdrive.

“President Trump hates women he can’t control, who don’t worship him, women who actually worship God, and are much more intelligent than he is,” Greene wrote, making clear she saw the Owens attack as something far bigger than a one-off insult.

She then took things even further, suggesting the post looked like something far-right activist Laura Loomer would have crafted for Trump, while claiming Loomer’s influence is “literally destroying him and the Republican Party.”

Greene also unloaded a long list of grievances that painted a damning picture of Trump’s treatment of women in his orbit. She accused him of refusing to support Epstein victims, blasted him for attacking female conservative figures like Megyn Kelly and Owens, and claimed that some of the women closest to his administration had either been pushed out or cast aside despite their loyalty.

She also pointed to Elise Stefanik, saying Trump was willing to pull back her U.N. ambassador role “without a care” after everything she had done to support him.

Then came Greene’s most politically loaded warning of all.

“No matter what you think about any of us women as we are all different from each other, whether you like us or not, one thing is incredibly clear, Trump hates women,” she wrote. “And posts like this one is going to turn the majority of women in America against him.”

The eruption comes at a time when Trump has already been feuding with several media personalities on the right. Earlier this month, he lashed out at Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones in a single rant, dismissing them as people with “low IQs” as criticism of his Iran policy intensified.

That broader post only added to the perception that Trump is increasingly turning his fire not just on Democrats or mainstream media figures, but on former allies and influential voices within his own base.

For many observers, Greene’s public break is notable not because she is a longtime Trump critic, but because she is not. Her decision to accuse him so directly of misogyny marks a striking escalation in a movement already defined by loyalty tests, public humiliations and personal vendettas.

What started as another Trump social media attack has now become something much bigger: a loud, messy MAGA power struggle featuring two of the right’s most polarizing women and a president once again accused of turning personal grievance into political warfare.
