President Donald Trump has publicly called it quits with Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of his most stalwart MAGA-world supporters.
The dismissal of Greene appeared to be the final break in a dispute simmering for months, as she has seemingly moderated her political profile.
The congresswoman was once the epitome of “Make America Great Again,” sporting the signature red cap for President Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union address and acting as a go-between for Trump and other Capitol Hill Republicans.
But recently, the three-term U.S. House member has increasingly dissented from Republican leaders, attacking them during the just-ended federal government shutdown and saying they needed a plan to help people who are losing subsidies to afford health insurance policies.
In a response on X, Greene wrote Friday that Trump had “attacked me and lied about me." She added a screenshot of a text she said she had sent the president earlier in the day about releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files, which she said “is what sent him over the edge.”
Greene called it “astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level,” referencing next week’s U.S. House vote over releasing the Epstein files.
Writing that she had supported Trump “with too much of my precious time, too much of my own money, and fought harder for him even when almost all other Republicans turned their back and denounced him,” Greene added, “I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump.”
Last week, Greene told NBC News that “watching the foreign leaders come to the White House through a revolving door is not helping Americans,” saying that Trump needed to focus on high prices at home rather than his recent emphasis on foreign affairs.
Trump responded by saying that Greene had “lost her way.”
Asked about her comments earlier Friday as he flew from Washington to Florida, Trump reiterated that he felt “something happened to her over the last month or two,” saying that, if he hadn’t gone to South Korea to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping, there would have been negative ramifications for jobs in Georgia and elsewhere because China would have kept its curbs on magnet exports.
Saying that people had been calling him, wanting to challenge Greene, Trump added, “She’s lost a wonderful conservative reputation.
