Trump Cuts Ties with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene
USA – Donald Trump has cut ties with long-time Republican supporter Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after she pushed for the release of the Epstein files.
“I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia,” Trump posted on his US social media site, Truth Social.
Green has increasingly broken ranks with the president recently, most notably by calling for the release of the DOJ’s files regarding Epstein, with Trump taking to social media over the past several weeks, saying, “all I see ‘Wacky’ Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!”
Trump, who once stood by Greene when she was scrutinized years ago for voicing conspiracy theories about Sept. 11, school shootings and wildfires started by space lasers, is now calling the Georgia congresswoman a nuisance who was interrupting his life.
“She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day,” Trump continued.
The president also issued a political attack on Greene’s congressional seat.
“I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support,” Trump wrote.
Greene did not back down, issuing an immediate response to the president on US social media company X.
“President Trump just attacked me and lied about me,” Greene posted. “I haven’t called him at all, but I did send these text messages today.
Apparently this is what sent him over the edge. The Epstein files.”
“It’s astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level,” Green continued. “But really most Americans wish he would fight this hard to help the forgotten men and women of America who are fed up with foreign wars and foreign causes, are going broke trying to feed their families, and are losing hope of ever achieving the American dream.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene; Outspoken and Fearless
Greene’s philosophical fissure with Trump goes beyond the Epstein files.
She has recently argued that the president should focus more attention on domestic issues instead of flying abroad to negotiate deals with other countries. She was the first Republican lawmaker to call the crisis in Gaza genocide. And she was one of only four House Republicans who joined Democrats in trying to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files in full.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is not the only Republican politician who has come under the ire of Trump. The president has also lashed out at Rep. Thomas Massie from the state of Kentucky, who has skewered Trump and other Republican leaders by calling for full release of the Epstein files and pushing to cut back presidential war powers.
In response to Massie breaking ranks with Trump, the president last month encouraged retired Navy Seal Ed Gallrein to run against Massie during the Republican primary elections next year. Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul said he would back Massie, which also put him in the president’s crosshairs.
The political lines in the sand have been drawn between Trump and his now-Republican Party outcasts, Massie and Greene.
Greene minced no words in saying that she had supported the president “with 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.”
“I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump,” said Greene.
