Marjorie Taylor Greene Responds After Trump's Withdrawal of Support

Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has publicly reacted to President Donald Trump's recent withdrawal of his endorsement, following a heated exchange between the two. Greene, representing Georgia's 14th congressional district, took to social media platform X to respond to Trump's comments, in which he labelled her as 'wacky' and a 'ranting lunatic'.

In her statement, Greene accused Trump of spreading falsehoods about her, asserting that she had not attempted to contact him directly but had communicated through text messages. She referenced Trump's assertion that she had been upset about his failure to return her calls, stating, "President Trump just attacked me and lied about me. I haven’t called him at all, but I did send these text messages today."

The exchange escalated after Trump claimed he could not accommodate the demands of a 'ranting lunatic' and suggested that Greene's concerns were unfounded. Greene suggested that Trump's reaction was linked to ongoing discussions regarding the release of Epstein files, which she contends could expose significant issues related to women voters. She expressed her confusion over why Trump appeared to be fighting against the release of these documents, writing, "It’s astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out."

Greene's post further claimed that Trump's offensive was an attempt to intimidate other Republicans ahead of an imminent vote regarding the Epstein files. She stated, "He’s coming after me hard to make an example to scare all the other Republicans before next week's vote to release the Epstein files."

The vote regarding the Epstein documents is scheduled for Tuesday, as reported by Politico. Greene highlighted her commitment to serving the American public and maintaining focus on domestic issues, voicing concerns over the struggles faced by many Americans. She remarked, "Most Americans wish he would fight this hard to help the forgotten men and women of America who are fed up with foreign wars and foreign causes."

In a notable departure from her previous support, Greene declared, "I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump. I worship God and Jesus is my saviour. I serve my district and the people of America." This statement reflects a potential pivot in her political stance, as she seeks to reclaim her narrative.

Meanwhile, Trump has expressed his discontent with Greene, suggesting that some Republican constituents in Georgia are considering a primary challenge against her. He stated, "They too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support."

This unfolding drama comes amidst increasing speculation about Greene's political ambitions, particularly regarding a potential run for the presidency in 2028. In her statements, she has hinted at a need for a new direction within the party, stating, "There needs to be a new way forward." Greene also voiced her discontent with the current political climate, asserting that the political establishment fosters division among Americans.

As the situation evolves, both Greene and Trump remain influential figures within the Republican Party, with their public feud reflecting broader tensions within the party's ranks as it approaches critical electoral contests.
