Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said President Donald Trump’s recent attacks have put her in danger, as their public dispute over the Jeffrey Epstein files continued. Greene also apologized for taking part in what she called toxic politics.
Greene told CNN that her disagreement with Trump had come down to the Epstein files and said the public deserved transparency. Trump had called her a “ranting lunatic” and a “traitor” and said he was withdrawing his support; Greene described his comments as hurtful and said they could put her life in danger. She also said private security firms had contacted her after threats. The House was expected to vote Tuesday on legislation to require release of the files.
Conservative commentator Laura Loomer accused Greene of lying about the threats and criticized her for blaming Trump. Greene acknowledged criticism that she had previously stayed silent when Trump attacked political opponents, and apologized for taking part in toxic politics. Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger called Greene a “con artist” and questioned whether her criticism of Republicans was politically motivated.
