Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan just received one of the stranger messages a politician can get from an unhappy constituent.
An Alaska voter named Katie Burrow wanted the Republican senator to hear exactly what she thought about several of his positions.
So she apparently found someone she believed Sullivan couldn’t easily dismiss.
Former Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Burrow turned to Cameo, the celebrity video platform that allows customers to pay public figures for personalized recordings, and commissioned Greene to deliver the message directly to Sullivan.
Greene obliged.
“This one is for Senator Dan Sullivan from one of your constituents in Alaska, who is very America First and really sick of the RINOs and very sick of the party,” Greene says in the video.
That was only the introduction.
Greene then moved directly into the constituent’s complaints.
“Dan, you didn’t support releasing the Epstein files when you had a chance to vote on it,” she said. “You voted against it.”
Greene also attacked Sullivan over his hawkish foreign-policy positions.
“And you are so pro-war that you have people very upset in Alaska, and that’s not good.”
The criticism is particularly notable because it isn’t coming from Sullivan’s Democratic opponents.
It’s being delivered by one of the most recognizable figures from the MAGA wing of the Republican Party — at the request of a voter who describes herself as “America First.”
Greene continued by arguing that American voters are increasingly concerned about domestic economic pressures rather than overseas conflicts.
“What people really want is affordability,” she said. “They want low gas and diesel. They want to see the foreign wars completely end.”
“They’re sick of paying for them,” Greene continued. “They’re sick, sick and tired of paying for people to be bombed and killed.”
Then the video returned to Epstein.
Greene argued that releasing government records related to Epstein should not be treated as a partisan question.
“Voting to release the Epstein files is the easiest thing anybody could ever do,” she said. “It’s not a partisan issue. It’s — it’s just the right thing to do.”
By the end, Greene made perfectly clear who had commissioned the unusual political message.
“All right, so that was from Katie Burrow, who’s really pissed at you and asked me to let you know all these things.”
The Cameo is an unusual snapshot of the tensions running through today’s Republican coalition.
Sullivan has generally aligned himself with Trump and the Republican leadership, but Greene has increasingly broken with members of her own party on several issues — particularly foreign intervention and the government’s handling of Epstein-related records.
Those disagreements have created the strange spectacle of a MAGA-aligned voter using a former MAGA member of Congress to publicly chastise a sitting Republican senator.
And Sullivan’s political circumstances make the criticism particularly noteworthy.
The Alaska Republican is seeking another Senate term while former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola is running for the seat, putting Sullivan’s record under heightened scrutiny from both Democrats and dissatisfied voters on his own side.
But the Cameo episode doesn’t establish how widespread Burrow’s views are among Alaska Republicans, nor does one personalized video tell us how the Senate race will ultimately develop.
What it does show is a very public disagreement inside the Republican coalition.
Greene didn’t soften the constituent’s message.
She didn’t redirect it toward Democrats.
And she certainly didn’t give Sullivan the usual partisan defense.
Instead, she looked into the camera and delivered the complaints directly to a fellow Republican senator.
Then she ended by making sure Sullivan knew exactly where they came from:
Katie Burrow — one of his own constituents.
