Washington, DC [US], November 16 (ANI): Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene expressed deep frustration and shock toward US President Donald Trump, alleging that his aggressive public attacks against her have triggered a surge in death threats, forcing her to hire private security firms for protection.
In a statement posted on X on Saturday, the Georgia lawmaker, known for her staunch support of Trump’s MAGA agenda and for helping him secure a second term in the White House, accused the President of radicalizing individuals with rhetoric similar to that which previously led to multiple convictions of men who threatened her life.
“I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hotbed 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. Aggressive rhetoric attacking me has historically led to death threats and multiple convictions of men who were radicalized by the same type of rhetoric being directed at me right now. This time by the President of the United States,” Greene wrote.
Describing the threats as particularly alarming “as a woman,” she drew a parallel to the fear experienced by victims of Jeffrey Epstein, saying the episode has given her “a small understanding” of the pressure those women face.
Greene, a vocal MAGA supporter in Congress who had consistently backed Trump’s legislation, cited her positions on the recently ended federal government shutdown and her calls for transparency regarding files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as reasons for the collapse in her ties with the President.
In her post, Greene described the President’s aggression as “completely shocking to everyone” and claimed that many online attackers are paid trolls. “As 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 and his cabal, must feel. 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,” she wrote.
Despite the backlash, Greene said her phone has been “blowing up with constant amazing support” and expressed gratitude to well-wishers. She also used the incident to call for an end to the “toxic violent nature of American politics,” urging unity to “save our country” from the “Political Industrial Complex.”
Earlier in the day, Trump announced that he is withdrawing his support for Greene, calling the lawmaker a “lunatic” and accusing her of going “far left.”
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump stated, “I am withdrawing my support and endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the great state of Georgia.” The former US President labeled Greene “wacky” and said all she does is “COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN,” despite his “record achievements” in office.
