Donald Trump criticized Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after she said in a “60 Minutes” interview that Republicans are “terrified” of him. Greene responded by describing her past loyalty to Trump and accusing him of misusing the word “traitor.”
Trump attacked Greene in a social media post after her interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes.” He called her a “Rotten Apple,” said she was not “AMERICA FIRST or MAGA,” and described her new views as those of “a very dumb person.”
In the interview, Greene said many Republicans are afraid to defy Trump and that colleagues changed how they treated him after he won his primary. She also said earlier this month that she had given Trump her loyalty and called an American who serves foreign countries a traitor. The article says Greene’s break with Trump followed a dispute over releasing the Epstein files.
