Marjorie Taylor Greene apologized Sunday for taking part in what she called “toxic politics” and said she hoped Trump would follow her example, days after he withdrew support and said he would back primary challengers.
Greene told CNN’s Dana Bash that Trump’s “traitor” accusation was untrue and could put her safety at risk. After Bash challenged her for having used similar rhetoric about others, Greene said the criticism was fair and apologized for participating in toxic politics, saying she wanted people to be kinder to one another.
