Marjorie Taylor Greene apologized during a CNN interview for taking part in “toxic politics” after Dana Bash challenged her about speaking out over threats against her. Greene urged an end to divisive rhetoric and said she hoped President Donald Trump would do the same; Trump had called her a “traitor” and withdrawn his endorsement.
During a Sunday interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Greene said Bash’s criticism was fair and apologized for participating in what she called toxic politics. Greene said she was responsible for her own words and actions, wanted people to be kinder, and believed Americans had more in common than differences.
Bash raised examples of Greene’s past social media activity, including a post involving a gun and a tweet about Nancy Pelosi and former President Barack Obama. Greene said she had addressed the matter in 2021, stood by her words, and hoped Trump would also help end divisive rhetoric. The article reports that Trump called Greene a “traitor” and withdrew his endorsement on Saturday.
