Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., said she’s received “a hot bed of threats” that “are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world,” after President Donald Trump attacked her in a series of social media posts Friday and Saturday—marking a breaking point for the one-time allies.
Greene said Trump’s “aggression against me . . . also fuels the venomous nature of his radical internet trolls,” adding, “as a woman I take threats from men seriously,” while comparing herself to Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, writing that she now has a “small understanding of the fear and pressure” they “must feel.”
Greene’s comments come after Trump coined a new nickname for the Georgia congresswoman on Saturday, “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Green [sic],” calling her a “disgrace to our GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY.”
