Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., responded Sunday to President Donald Trump’s recent decision to label her a “traitor” following their political split, calling the remark “hurtful” and cautioning that such language could pose risks to her personal safety.

“The most hurtful thing he said, which is absolutely untrue, is he called me a traitor, and that is so extremely wrong,” Greene told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union.”
“Those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger,” she added.

Trump announced Friday on Truth Social that he was withdrawing his endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her a “ranting lunatic” and accusing her of “complaining” instead of highlighting what he described as his administration’s “record achievements,” according to Fox News.
He said Greene, a longtime ally within the MAGA movement, was “upset” that he had not returned her calls, asserted that she had “gone far left,” and vowed to fully support any conservative primary challenger in the 2026 midterms. Greene was first elected to her north Georgia district in 2020 and has won re-election twice.

Greene refuted that, noting that she didn’t call but rather texted him, providing screenshots of them.

She also noted in a lengthy X post that she was being targeted by “hoax” pizza deliveries and felt threatened, while touting her support for Trump’s policies and her conservative voting record:

The hoax pizza deliveries have started now, to my house and my family members.

Update: we also received a pipe bomb threat on my construction companies office building.

President Trump’s unwarranted and vicious attacks against me were a dog whistle to dangerous radicals that could lead to serious attacks on me and my family.

Unfortunately, I’ve been down this road before. As a matter of fact, as I campaigned all over the country and defended President Trump, I received dozens of swatting calls on my house and my family members homes along with these hoax pizza deliveries, but even more severely I have received some of the most death threats of any Member of Congress that led to multiple men being convicted and serving time in prison.

And all of that came from the left.

Now that President Trump has called me a traitor, which is absolutely untrue and horrific. Mark Levin has been calling me a traitor. And so have other prominent likely paid social medial activists.

This puts blood in the water and creates a feeding frenzy. And it could ultimately lead to a harmful or even deadly outcome.

Also, the timing of this just happens to be days before we take the vote on releasing the Epstein files.

I love America and the American people, and I swore an oath to uphold the constitution and always do so.

I am not a traitor.

However, when the President of the United States irresponsibly calls a Member of Congress of his own party, traitor, he is signaling what must be done to a traitor.

I fought harder than anyone to help President Trump get elected and I support his administration and the promises we made on the campaign. I am a Republican in good standing and have paid all of my dues to the NRCC. My voting record is one of the most conservative voting records in Congress and I’m very proud of that.

The toxic and dangerous rhetoric in politics must end and we need healing in this country for all Americans.

She also said that her mention of supporting the release of all files related to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was “apparently…what sent him over the edge.”

Trump has since pushed majority Republicans on Capitol Hill to release the files in a post to his Truth Social account.
