Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who was once one of President Donald Trump’s most vocal supporters, said Saturday that she’s facing threats following the president’s criticism of her on social media.”I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world. The man I supported and helped get elected,” Greene wrote in a post on X on Saturday. “As a Republican, who overwhelmingly votes for President Trump‘s bills and agenda, his aggression against me which also fuels the venomous nature of his radical internet trolls (many of whom are paid), this is completely shocking to everyone,” the congresswoman added in her post.Greene’s revelation comes after Trump attacked Greene in post on social media and rescinded his endorsement of her, calling her “wacky” and accusing her of complaining too much. The president also suggested he could back a primary challenger against her. The White House and U.S. Capitol Police didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment on Greene’s social media posts. USCP has said that the rates of threats against politicians — including members of Congress — have risen in recent years, according to the U.S. Capitol Police.In a 2024 report, USCP said that the number of “threat assessment cases has climbed for the second year in a row,” citing investigations of 9,474 concerning statements and direct threats against congressional lawmakers. Members of Congress have also expressed concerns about their safety overall, following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Trump on Saturday morning posted about Greene, who has become increasingly critical of the president in recent weeks, on his Truth Social account multiple times. In one post, the president said Greene “betrayed” her party with her criticism, and in another, Trump called Greene a “traitor” and a “disgrace” to the Republican party.In recent weeks, Greene has broken with her party and with the president, most recently criticizing him for focusing too much on foreign issues and calling for him to make his “America First” agenda a priority.During the federal government shutdown, which stretched from the beginning of October into the beginning of November, Greene publicly broke with her party and Speaker Mike Johnson on healthcare, accusing GOP leaders of having “no solution” for Americans facing rising healthcare costs.In recent days, Greene and three other Republican House lawmakers faced pressure from the White House to remove their names from a House petition that will force a floor vote on a measure calling for the Justice Department to release files it has related to Jeffrey Epstein.Greene has doubled down on her support for releasing the files, writing in her social media post about the new threats she’s receiving that, “I now have a small understanding of the fear and pressure the women, who are victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal, must feel.”In a separate post, from her personal account, Greene said her stance on the Epstein files is one of the reasons for Trump’s attacks.She added, “It really makes you wonder what is in those files and who and what country is putting so much pressure on him? I forgive him and I will pray for him to return to his original MAGA promises.”Earlier this week, lawmakers on the House Oversight and Reform Committee released a trove of Epstein-related documents, including emails from Epstein where he often references Trump. Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and has never been charged with any criminal activity related to the case.In a post on Truth Social Wednesday, Trump accused Democrats of “using the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax to try and deflect from their massive failures.”Alexandra MarquezAlexandra Marquez is a politics reporter for NBC News.Yamiche Alcindor contributed.
