Marjorie Taylor Greene says she's had 'warnings for my safety' after posts by Trump

One-time Maga loyalist diverges with Trump on issues including Epstein, so US president has withdrawn support

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/15/marjorie-taylor-greene-safety-trump



Marjorie Taylor Greene, a longtime Republican ally who previously fiercely defended Donald Trump and his Maga movement, said on Saturday she had been contacted by private security firms “with warnings for my safety” after Trump announced on Friday he was withdrawing his support for and endorsement of the Georgia representative.

In a post on X, Greene said that “a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world”, without referring to Trump by name, adding it was “the man I supported and helped get elected”. Greene said that “aggressive rhetoric attacking me has historically led to death threats and multiple convictions of men who were radicalized by the same type rhetoric being directed at me right now. This time by the President of the United States.”

Greene did not specify any threats against her that had been received by security firms, but said that “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.”

Greene also said that as a Republican who votes “overwhelmingly” in favor of party legislation, “his aggression against me also fuels the venomous nature of his radical internet trolls (many of whom are paid), this is completely shocking to everyone”. The accusation echoes claims made by Trump and administration officials that Democrats have used “paid actors” at protests.

3. And how many of those threats are coming from Democrats, liberals, socialists or antifa, Marge?

4. Trump has been playing this game of "siccing" his supporters on anyone that irks him for years.

Marge did not seem to have a problem with that. In fact, Marge has played that game herself.

It was all fine until she started getting the treatment. Now she complains.

with the Rs.

I have no doubt she is looking beyond her current House-based political career.
