Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Trump Is Stoking Threats Against Her
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) says she has been contacted by private security firms and is consulting them after receiving warnings about a "hotbed of threats" she alleges are being "fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world — the man I supported and helped get elected." The remarks were posted on X as her public rift with former President Donald Trump deepens.
Trump has publicly criticized Greene in recent days, withdrew his endorsement of her campaign and called her a "traitor" and a "disgrace" to the Republican Party. The tension intensified after Greene joined three other House Republicans in signing a discharge petition to force a floor vote on a bill seeking additional records related to the late Jeffrey Epstein; supporters expect the measure to pass if it reaches the floor.
Greene warned that aggressive rhetoric historically has led to real-world violence, noting that such attacks have resulted in death threats and convictions of individuals radicalized by similar language. "As a woman I take threats from men seriously," she wrote, and said she now has "a small understanding of the fear and pressure the women, who are victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal, must feel."
The dispute also touches on broader public interest in Epstein-related documents after reporting about Department of Justice decisions in the Epstein case and the conviction and 20-year sentence of his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Greene previously published a screenshot of a text she said she sent to Trump urging him to investigate Epstein — a message she says "sent him over the edge."
Greene on X: 'I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world.'
The episode underscores a widening rift within the GOP as internal disputes over policy and personnel play out publicly.
