Marjorie Taylor Greene said Republicans privately mocked Donald Trump before supporting him after he won the 2024 nomination. She also said threats against her increased after she opposed Trump over files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
In a clip from a 60 Minutes interview, outgoing Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said colleagues who had mocked Trump and her support for him began backing him after he won the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. She also said Republicans avoid criticizing Trump publicly because they fear being targeted by him.
In posts on X, Greene said she had reported hundreds of threats to Capitol Police. She said threats from the political right began after she opposed Trump over his handling of files related to Epstein, and wrote that Trump responded to messages about threats against her son with “harsh accusatory replies and zero sympathy.”
