Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Saturday she’s facing threats after the president criticized her on social media.
Greene, who was once one of President Donald Trump’s most vocal supporters, said she was contacted by private security firms who warned her about her safety.
“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 man I supported and helped get elected,” Greene wrote on X on Saturday.
“As a Republican, who overwhelmingly votes for President Trump’s bills and agenda, his aggression against me which also fuels the venomous nature of his radical internet trolls (many of whom are paid), this is completely shocking to everyone,” the congresswoman added in her post.
Greene’s comments came one day after Trump attacked her on social media as he took back his endorsement of her.
The White House and the U.S. Capitol Police didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
Trump on Saturday morning posted multiple times on his Truth Social account about Greene, who has become increasingly critical of the president in recent weeks.
The president said Greene “betrayed” her party with her criticism, and in another, Trump called Greene a “traitor” and a “disgrace” to the Republican Party.
During the government shutdown, which was the longest in U.S. history, Greene publicly broke with her party and Speaker Mike Johnson on health care, accusing GOP leaders of having “no solution” for Americans facing rising health care costs.
Greene said her stance on the Epstein files is one of the reasons for Trump’s attacks.
“It really makes you wonder what is in those files and who and what country is putting so much pressure on him? I forgive him and I will pray for him to return to his original MAGA promises,” she wrote.
