Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend reacted on Tuesday after President Donald Trump wondered aloud whether it was "easy" to date the Republican firebrand.
The Context
Greene has been dating Brian Glenn, the chief White House correspondent for the right-wing network, Real America's Voice, since early 2023.

"He's from the industry, so he is a great resource. He's explained a lot, like how things work and yeah, it's great," Greene told Semafor in April 2023. "So maybe I'm falling in love with the press."

What To Know
Trump mused about Greene and Glenn's relationship while visiting a prison for migrants in Florida on Tuesday, which conservatives call "Alligator Alcatraz."
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem were with Trump during the visit. At one point, the president ran into Glenn, introducing him to DeSantis as "the boyfriend—very lucky—of Marjorie Taylor Greene."
Trump told DeSantis and Noem that Glenn works for Real America's Voice, and after a few pleasantries, he tacked on: "You think it's easy being with Marjorie?"
DeSantis laughed in response, while Noem said, "She was working pretty hard this weekend," referring to Greene's work in the House of Representatives.
After the interaction, Glenn took to X, formerly Twitter, to weigh in on the president's comments.
"'This is the boyfriend, very lucky, of Marjorie Taylor Greene,'" Glenn wrote, quoting Trump. "'Do you think it's easy being with Marjorie'? (I'm not going to answer that...kidding!! )
"@mtgreenee is a joy to be with and I love her with all my heart. We support you @POTUS @RealAmVoice"
The Georgia congresswoman replied to her beau's social media post with an emoji of a smiling face surrounded by hearts.
Greene and Glenn have been public about their relationship status for years.
"I love being home in my district! ❤️," Greene posted to X in January, alongside a photo of her and Glenn seated together at a restaurant booth. "GA14 has the sweetest hospitality and some of the best food in Georgia!!"
"Love this beautiful woman," Glenn wrote in response to the Georgia congresswoman's social media post.
Like his girlfriend, the Real America's Voice correspondent is an ardent and long-time Trump supporter. Among other things, he's echoed Trump's claims about the 2020 election being "rigged," lambasted the mainstream media, railed against transgender athletes participating in women's sports and accused pro-Palestinian student protesters of being antifa.
Glenn also made headlines earlier this year when he questioned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on his wardrobe when he visited the White House for what turned into an explosive confrontation in which Trump and Vice President JD Vance repeatedly berated and belittled the Ukrainian leader.
"Why don't you wear a suit?" Glenn asked Zelensky while he sat next to Trump in the Oval Office. "You're at the highest level in this country's office and you refuse to wear a suit. Do you own a suit?"
The line of questioning, which framed Zelensky's attire as a sign of disrespect to the U.S., noticeably shifted the tone of the meeting.
"I will wear [a] costume after this war will finish...Maybe something like yours, yes. Maybe something better, I don't know," Zelensky shot back, eliciting laughter in the room.
What People Are Saying
Glenn asked Trump last month about the prospect of U.S. involvement in Israel's war with Iran, saying in part: "The base is going to stay with you regardless, but some of the people in the base don't want a long-term war. They're afraid that we're going to get into a long-term war."
Trump responded to Glenn: "I only want one thing: Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. That's it. I'm not looking long-term, short-term. So I may have some people that are a little bit unhappy now, but I have some people that are very happy, and I have people outside of the base that can't believe that this is happening, they're so happy."
