Marjorie Taylor Greene<\/a>, a longtime Republican ally who previously fiercely defended Donald Trump<\/a> and his Maga movement, said on Saturday she had been contacted by private security firms \u201cwith warnings for my safety\u201d after Trump announced on Friday he was withdrawing his support for and endorsement of the Georgia representative.<\/p>\n

In a post on X, Greene said that \u201ca hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world\u201d, without referring to Trump by name, adding it was \u201cthe man I supported and helped get elected\u201d.<\/p>\n

Greene said that \u201caggressive rhetoric attacking me has historically led to death threats and multiple convictions of men who were radicalized by the same type rhetoric being directed at me right now. This time by the President of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greene did not specify any threats against her that had been received by security firms, but said that \u201cas a woman I take threats from men seriously. I now have a small understanding of the fear and pressure the women, who are victims of Jeffrey Epstein<\/a> and his cabal, must feel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greene also said that as a Republican who votes \u201coverwhelmingly\u201d in favor of party legislation, \u201chis aggression against me also fuels the venomous nature of his radical internet trolls (many of whom are paid), this is completely shocking to everyone\u201d .<\/p>\n

The accusation echoes claims made by Trump and administration officials that Democrats have used \u201cpaid actors\u201d at protests.<\/p>\n

In a later post on X<\/a>, Greene posted a chart of rising average grocery bills, calling it \u201cthe ultimate warning to all of my Republican colleagues\u201d and equating cost-of-living pressures to a vote in Congress over the release of further Epstein files next week.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou vote NO on Tuesday to release the Epstein files and face severe outrage from America,\u201d she warned. \u201cRepublicans don\u2019t have support from women and this right here is a perfect example of why.\u201d<\/p>\n

The post is the latest in an increasingly bitter war of words with Trump, primarily over the release of government-held documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>, which Greene supports. The House speaker, Mike Johnson, is expected to hold a vote next week to decide whether to release the entirety of unclassified communications and documents.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarjorie \u2018Traitor\u2019 Green is a disgrace to our GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY!\u201d Trump fumed on social media, a day after ending his support for Greene, calling her \u201cWacky Marjorie\u201d and saying he would endorse a challenger against her in the next midterm election \u201cif the right person runs\u201d.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Saturday, Greene posted on X<\/a> that she never thought she would be in the position of \u201cfighting to release the Epstein files, defending women who were victims of rape, and fighting to expose the web of rich powerful elites would have caused this, but here we are\u201d.<\/p>\n

The dispute between Greene and Trump, simmering for months, has broken out into the open as the once solid Maga supporter has found herself opposing Trump on a series of issues, including US military aid to Israel, the government shutdown and the so-called \u201cEpstein files\u201d.<\/p>\n

That has led Trump to accuse Greene of going \u201cFar Left\u201d as she offered a series of dissenting opinions against the Maga mainstream. Trump wrote that all he had witnessed from Greene in recent months was \u201cCOMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!\u201d adding: \u201cI can\u2019t take a ranting Lunatic\u2019s call every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greene said she had supported Trump \u201cwith too much of my precious time, too much of my own money, and fought harder for him even when almost all other Republicans turned their back and denounced him\u201d. Greene added: \u201cI don\u2019t worship or serve Donald Trump<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump has indulged flame wars before with otherwise loyal political allies, including Elon Musk<\/a>, only to make up after a cooling-off period. Like Musk, Greene\u2019s newfound opposition appears rooted in what both see as a dilution of Trump\u2019s \u201cAmericas first\u201d political philosophy, including grappling with foreign peacemaking projects.<\/p>\n

The trajectory of Greene\u2019s dissatisfaction dates to at least May, when she announced she wouldn\u2019t run for a Senate seat and attacked Republican donors and consultants who feared she couldn\u2019t win. She later said she wouldn\u2019t run for Georgia governor and attacked what she said was a political \u201cgood ole boy\u201d system in the state.<\/p>\n

She sided with Maga dissenters, including Tucker Carlson, in June over possible US efforts at regime change in Iran.<\/p>\n

But as the Epstein files controversy heated up in recent months, she placed herself in opposition to the administration\u2019s reluctance to release the documents and videos in full. In September, she said she wanted to expose the \u201cEpstein rape and pedophile network\u201d and asked people to remember she is \u201cnot suicidal\u201d should something happen to her.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Greene sharply criticized her party during an appearance on The View, describing the Republican-controlled Congress as \u201can embarrassment\u201d for not being in session for more than a month and saying she\u2019d grown \u201creally tired of the pissing contest in Washington DC between the men\u201d.<\/p>\n

Asked whether she planned on becoming a Democrat, she said both political parties had failed and called for women to step in and steer the country. \u201cOur red-white-and-blue flag is just being ripped to shreds,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I think it takes women of maturity to sew it back together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marjorie Taylor Greene, a longtime Republican ally who previously fiercely defended Donald Trump and his Maga movement, said…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":265393,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-265392","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=265392"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265392\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
