Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene apologized for participating in “toxic politics” and said she wants to stop using divisive rhetoric. Her remarks came amid a public rift with President Donald Trump and renewed attention to her past inflammatory statements.
In a CNN interview, Greene said she worried Trump’s rhetoric about her could lead to violence and called his description of her as a “traitor” untrue. Asked why she had not objected to similar rhetoric before it was directed at her, she accepted that as fair criticism and apologized for taking part in toxic politics.
Greene said she had been reflecting on her own rhetoric and wanted people to “come together.” The article recounts earlier incidents, including her remarks about Nancy Pelosi, her confrontation with Jasmine Crockett and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and a public disagreement with Lauren Boebert.

Center outlets present Raskin’s offer amid Greene’s criticism of Republican leadership and her growing dispute with Trump. Right-leaning outlets frame it as an unusual Democratic pitch, juxtaposed with Greene’s recent support for Trump and his criticism of her.
