Marjorie Taylor Greene Receives Threat Warnings After Trump's Support Withdrawal
US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a staunch Republican ally who had previously vigorously defended former President Donald Trump and the "Maga" movement, has stated that she received security warnings for her safety after Trump announced on Friday that he was withdrawing his support for and endorsement of Greene.
The warnings were reportedly issued by private security firms. In response, Greene expressed concern over the rise in aggressive rhetoric directed at her, which she believes is being fueled by Trump's actions. She pointed to historical instances where similar rhetoric had led to death threats and convictions against men who were radicalized by such comments, now coming from a powerful figure like the US President.
Greene also emphasized that as a woman, she takes threats seriously, particularly those made by men, drawing parallels with her support for victims of Jeffrey Epstein. The congresswoman cautioned that Trump's aggression is fuelling the venomous nature of his radical internet trolls, many of whom are reportedly paid to spread disinformation.
On Saturday, Greene posted on social media a chart highlighting rising average grocery bills, equating cost-of-living pressures to a vote in Congress over the release of further Epstein files next week. She warned Republicans that voting against releasing these documents would lead to severe outrage from women and underscored her own position as a strong advocate for such releases.
This statement comes amidst an escalating feud between Greene and Trump, primarily centered around the release of government-held documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. The House speaker, Mike Johnson, is expected to hold a vote next week on deciding whether to release unclassified communications and documents.
Trump responded by calling Greene "Wacky Marjorie" and announced his intention to endorse a challenger against her in the upcoming midterm election if the right person runs. Earlier this month, Greene sharply criticized her party during an appearance on The View, describing the Republican-controlled Congress as "an embarrassment."
Greene's trajectory of dissatisfaction with Trump dates back to May, when she expressed concerns about the influence of money in politics and later sided with Maga dissenters, including Tucker Carlson, over possible US efforts at regime change in Iran. However, her stance on releasing Epstein files has become a point of contention between Greene and the administration.
In September, Greene stated that she wanted to expose the "Epstein rape and pedophile network" and asked people to remember she is not suicidal should something happen to her. She also called for women to step in and steer the country, saying their red-white-and-blue flag was being ripped apart by partisan divisions.

oh boy, Marjorie Taylor Greene just got a security warning because Trump's mad at her, talk about karma 
! I mean, who wouldn't want to take away her MAGA movement membership card 
? It's like she said "let them eat cake" but instead of cake it's grocery bills 
. Anyway, Trump thinks he can just call her Wacky Marjorie and expect people to be all "oh noooo" 
. But let's be real, who hasn't had to deal with online trolls trying to bring them down? It's like they think the internet is a magic shield that protects you from reality 
she's not wrong though - the hate & aggression towards her is real, and its not okay. I hope she gets the support she needs, esp after what happened with Epstein... its still heartbreaking to think about how some ppl can be so radicalized & violent 
. I mean, if the President himself is fueling the hate and aggression towards her, that's a problem right there 
. And let's not forget about the whole Jeffrey Epstein situation - it's like they're playing with fire, threatening to release those files without a clear plan in place 
. It's not fair to women like Greene who are actually standing up for victims and trying to make a difference 
Anyway, this whole thing just feels like a big mess, you know? 
. Trump is known for stirring up drama and fueling online trolls, especially when he's mad at someone 
.
. As Greene said, people are getting all riled up over some documents, and it's like, calm down, folks! We're not gonna learn anything from this drama 
.
Marjorie Taylor Greene seems like someone who's just trying to do her job, but she's getting roasted left and right for it... or at least that's what it feels like 
Trump is basically saying that if you don't agree with him, he'll take you down, and I'm not buying it 
Greene seems like someone who's been under a lot of pressure, but she shouldn't have to be worried about her safety because of some guy in the White House 
this whole thing is just so concerning... Marjorie Taylor Greene is already going through a lot as a woman, and now she's getting death threats? 
. And honestly, can't we just be mad at the guy who was making all these threats in the first place? Instead of turning the tables on Greene, it feels like Trump is just trying to distract us from his own issues 
like if he's gonna lose control of his base over one person...greene has been a thorn in his side for ages and she's not backing down 
. The escalating feud between Greene and Trump raises questions about the role of leadership in perpetuating toxic environments and how that affects those who dare to challenge them 
like, come on man! his supporters should be worried about some actual hate crimes not just getting worked up over a few tweets 
. But Trump's actions are taking it to a whole new level. He's basically egging on his base with this "Wacky Marjorie" stuff and threatening to take her down if she doesn't toe the party line. It's just getting more and more toxic over here
