Marjorie Taylor Greene Pushes Back Against Trump's Jabs, Calls for Unity Amid Tensions.
Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has pushed back against former President Donald Trump's hurtful remarks labeling her a traitor and a lunatic, saying she hopes they can "make up" despite their stark differences. In an interview on CNN's State of the Union show, Greene acknowledged that Trump's comments were hurtful but stood firm on her stance, vowing to continue fighting for transparency in Jeffrey Epstein-related files.
Greene, who has been a longtime ally and fierce defender of Trump, seemed taken aback by his latest attacks, calling them "hurtful" and stating that he was "absolutely untrue" when labeling her a traitor. She also expressed concern over the rise in threats against her, which she believes were fueled by Trump's rhetoric.
The congresswoman has been at odds with Trump for months, but their recent spat escalated dramatically after Trump withdrew his endorsement of her on Friday. Greene had previously criticized Epstein's ties to powerful figures, including Trump and Steve Bannon, and plans to join a vote in the House of Representatives later this week to demand the release of all files held by the US government.
Despite her differences with Trump, Greene called for an end to "toxic infighting" in politics, acknowledging that her past rhetoric may have contributed to the problem. She expressed regret over taking part in what she described as "toxic politics" and urged politicians to be kinder to one another.
Greene's divergence from Trump on foreign policy issues has also been apparent, with her advocating for a stronger stance on immigration and economic growth. However, when asked about potential reconciliation with Trump, Greene remained optimistic, saying that forgiveness was an important part of her Christian faith and that she hoped they could "make up" in the future.
In a surprise move, Greene's own security has come under scrutiny after private firms contacted her with warnings for her safety following Trump's comments. The congresswoman declined to elaborate on the nature and sources of these threats, citing concerns over radicalization and putting her life at risk.

meanwhile i'm just over here like what even is the point of politics when people are gonna be like that anyway 
gotta respect marjorie for calling out toxic infighting and advocating for kindness in politics - we need more of that 
hope they can make up eventually, but tbh forgiveness is hard to come by 
I'm like, "Yo, Marjorie, girl! You're doing the right thing by pushing back against Trump's shade 
. And can we talk about how weird it is that her security team got involved 
? Like, shouldn't she be able to handle her own safety situation? 
I get where she's coming from with the 'forgiveness' thing, but let's not forget, this is politics we're talking about 
. Can't we all just get along? 
Greene's got a lot of guts for speaking out on Epstein's files and all that jazz 
. We need more people like her in politics who aren't afraid to take a stand 
. And btw, what's up with Trump's constant jabs? Can't he just keep it civil? 
anyway i got some respect for her cuz she wont back down even tho she disagrees with him on some stuff and shes all about keepin it real and transparent about epstein's files omg u guyz did u know she wasnt afraid of trump dissing her in public lol im all about unity and forgiveness and i think marjorie is showin us that its possible to disagree without bein mean 
.
And sorry to say it but, Marjorie might need to rethink her stance on Trump if she's getting warnings from private firms about her safety 
. Newsflash, MTG: you're not getting any sympathy points from me when you try to justify your own brand of toxic politics.
. Greene knows exactly what she's getting herself into when she makes deals with Trump, and now she's trying to play the innocent? Please 
. That's just code for "I'll do whatever you want as long as I get some scraps of attention from my savior" 
.
. I mean, Trump can't just trash talk someone like that without expecting some pushback. Greene has got to stand up for what she believes in, even if it means ruffling a few feathers 
.
. I think some folks might see her trying to pivot on this one as an attempt to save face 
. Someone should definitely look into that...
That's just not cool, you know? She's all about transparency and holding people in power accountable, which I can get behind 
.

.
, Marjorie Taylor Greene just stood up to Donald Trump in a huge way! I think it's super interesting that she's trying to call for unity amidst all this drama 
.
. We'll just have to wait and see if they can make up eventually 
. Like, come on Donald, can't you just call her out without being so hurtful?
. I hope she gets the support she needs to stay safe 
. It's about time someone called out his toxic behavior and told him to chill 
. Greene trying to stay strong and all that, but it's hard not to think she's just a pawn in their game 
. And those threats from private firms? 
.
.
and that's somethin we can all get behind 
, i mean i know they've been friends for ages but come on man he went too far this time! she's not a traitor or crazy just because she disagrees with him on some things, can't we all just get along? 
. i'm actually kinda proud of her for owning up to her past mistakes and calling out the toxicity in our politcs. now let's see if trump will back down or just keep on keeping on with his drama 
.
