"Those are brand-new people," Greene said.
"RFK, Vivek, they both tried to beat [Trump] in the presidential race this year. So I'm glad that they're supporting President Trump, I want them on the team for their strengths, but I also don't think that we put them in charge of everything." Jasper Colt / USA TODAY NETWORK
Greene, who has been one of Trump's most vocal supporters in Congress, emphasized: "It's important to realize who stood with President Trump from the beginning, never backed down, never stabbed him in the back, never tried to beat him. And there's those of us that have been very loyal." Joshua L. Jones / USA TODAY NETWORK
