The US president has revoked his endorsement of GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene
US President Donald Trump has cut ties with a prominent MAGA ally, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, accusing her of betraying the Republican party and going “far left.”
In a Truth Social post on Saturday, the president announced the withdrawal of his support and endorsement for the veteran GOP lawmaker.
“Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Green [sic] is a disgrace to our GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY!” he wrote.
“Over the past few weeks, despite my creating Record Achievements for our Country… all I see ‘Wacky’ Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!” he said in a separate post.
He said the dispute began after he sent her a poll indicating she had a 12% approval rating in Georgia and advised her not to run for senator or governor, and he added that since then “she has gone Far Left.”
In a series of replies on X, Greene alleged that the US president withdrew his support because she pushed the Justice Department to release all remaining files related to convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, who allegedly killed himself in jail in 2019.
“I never thought that fighting to release the Epstein files, defending women who were victims of rape, and fighting to expose the web of rich powerful elites would have caused this, but here we are,” she wrote on Saturday after the president pulled his endorsement.
Greene claimed that Trump was cutting her off to “make an example to scare all the other Republicans before next week’s vote to release the Epstein files.”
A petition to force a vote on a bill requiring the DOJ to release the files received enough signatures on Wednesday, and the vote is scheduled for next week.
Earlier this week, the US House Oversight Committee released roughly 20,000 documents related to Epstein’s estate. House Democrats then published an email from the files, in which the late pedophile alleged that Trump “knew about the girls.”
Shortly afterward, the president ordered a probe into the sex trafficker’s ties to prominent Democrats, including Bill Clinton, and accused his opponents of using what he called the “Epstein Hoax” as a political distraction.
