President Donald Trump lashed out against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Saturday for having "betrayed the entire Republican Party,” picking up where he left off Friday after pulling his endorsement of Greene and turning on the prominent MAGA figure amid disputes over Jeffrey Epstein.
“Lightweight Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Brown (Green grass turns Brown when it begins to ROT!), betrayed the entire Republican Party when she turned Left, performed poorly on the pathetic View, and became the RINO [Republican in name only] that we all know she always was,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.
“Just another Fake politician, no different than Rand Paul Jr. (Thomas Massie), who got caught being a full fledged Republican In Name Only (RINO)! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
Greene has been among the loudest Republican voices in her calls for the Justice Department to release its trove of files on Epstein, the disgraced financier who died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, and was well-known for his deep ties to powerful figures, including Trump.
And, despite repeatedly supporting Trump, her insistence on the DOJ releasing its files on Epstein had formed a wedge between her and the president, a wedge that reached its breaking point Friday when Trump launched an all-out attack on the Republican lawmaker, calling her a “ranting lunatic” and encouraging a Georgian to run against her in the upcoming Republican primary election.
Greene fired back, however, claiming Trump “lied about me,” and that it was her persistence on Epstein transparency that “sent him over the edge.”
“It’s astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level,” Greene wrote on social media Friday.
