Marjorie Taylor Greene accuses President Trump of endangering her life after his attacks spark threats amid a bitter clash over Epstein files.
WASHINGTON — A political firestorm detonated inside the Republican Party on Saturday as Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene accused U.S. President Donald Trump of putting her life at risk, saying his escalating online attacks have unleashed a fresh surge of violent threats against her.
Greene — once one of Trump’s most loyal foot soldiers but now increasingly at odds with him — said private security firms have contacted her with warnings about escalating danger.
“Whenever aggressive rhetoric targets me, it leads to death threats,” she wrote on X. “And now it’s coming from the President of the United States.”
Trump ignited the confrontation Friday night with a blistering social-media barrage, branding Greene “Wacky,” “a ranting lunatic” and accusing her of pestering him with calls. By Saturday, he doubled down, calling her a “Lightweight Congresswoman,” “Traitor,” and a “disgrace.”
GREENE: TRUMP’S ATTACKS EMBOLDEN ‘RADICAL TROLLS’
Greene fired back, accusing Trump of lying about her and attempting to intimidate Republicans ahead of next week’s House vote on releasing the full Justice Department files on Jeffrey Epstein — files whose existence has long fueled political and media intrigue.
She claimed Trump’s rage “fuels the venomous nature of his radical internet trolls,” adding that many are paid operatives who escalate threats whenever Trump targets someone.
In a dramatic comparison, Greene said she now has a “small understanding” of the pressure Epstein’s victims felt — a statement that shocked Washington insiders.
THE EPSTEIN FAULT LINE
Greene is one of just four Republicans who joined Democrats in forcing a vote to release Epstein-related documents. Trump, who once socialized with Epstein before a later falling-out, has labeled the renewed focus on Epstein a Democrat-driven hoax.
He went further, suggesting that voters in Greene’s Georgia district should seek a primary challenger — and that he would support “the right candidate” against her in next year’s elections.
The White House did not immediately comment.
ONLINE ARMIES MOBILIZE
Online backlash from Trump’s supporters surged quickly — a phenomenon familiar in U.S. politics, where right-wing influencers and conservative media networks can amplify narratives at speed, often targeting anyone perceived as disloyal to Trump.
Israel’s political landscape often sees ideological battles, but rarely do allies turn on each other with this level of public ferocity. In Washington, the domestic struggle now resembles a full-blown Republican civil war — with Epstein’s shadow pulling old alliances apart.WASHINGTON — A political firestorm detonated inside the Republican Party on Saturday as Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene accused U.S. President Donald Trump of putting her life at risk, saying his escalating online attacks have unleashed a fresh surge of violent threats against her.
