Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said Saturday she is receiving fresh threats, a day after President Trump abruptly ended his support for her and publicly mocked her in a blistering post on his platform.
It marks the most dramatic rupture yet between the once aligned allies, whose fallout has been building for weeks over health care policy, the government shutdown and the high stakes political battle surrounding the release of Jeffrey Epstein related files.
Greene claimed the president’s rhetoric had stirred hostility toward her, noting her past experience with swatting incidents and violent threats.
She drew a parallel to the pressure faced by Epstein survivors, saying she now understood a fraction of their fear. While she did not detail the nature of the latest threats, her comments sparked swift public backing from more than two dozen individuals who identify as Epstein survivors or relatives. They issued a statement thanking her for challenging what they called long standing intimidation.
Trump escalated the feud Friday night, accusing Greene of leaning left and branding her a ranting lunatic while announcing he was withdrawing his endorsement and might back a primary challenge. Greene countered with screenshots of text messages she said she had sent the president, insisting she had not been repeatedly calling him.
The rift widened after Greene joined Democrats in signing a discharge petition to force a vote requiring the Justice Department to release all Epstein related materials. The House Oversight Committee had already published more than twenty thousand pages of documents, prompting new questions among lawmakers about who might be implicated.
Greene has also split from most Republicans on health care, siding with Democrats who want to extend expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits. She told CBS that millions face financial strain and that the issue transcends party lines.
