"United States President Donald Trump has said he is withdrawing his support for Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling the lawmaker a lunatic and accusing her of going far left. In a post on his Truth Social platform late on Friday, Trump said, I am withdrawing my support and endorsement of Congresswoman' Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the great state of Georgia."
"Greene, a member of the House of Representatives, has long been a reliable ally and fierce defender of Trump, even sporting a Make America Great Again (MAGA) baseball hat at President Joe Biden's 2024 State of the Union address. But in recent months, she has taken positions at odds with the White House and her fellow Republicans, including criticising them during the just-ended federal government shutdown."
"More notably, Greene has also become a vocal campaigner for transparency and the full release of files related to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein a recurrent scandal that continues to engulf President Trump. Greene responded to Trump's announcement on Friday with screenshots of a text message she sent the president about the Epstein case, claiming it sent him over the edge."
Donald Trump publicly withdrew his support and endorsement of Marjorie Taylor Greene, characterizing her as a lunatic and accusing her of moving far left. Greene had been a long-standing ally and visible defender of Trump, even appearing in MAGA attire at high-profile events, but she recently diverged from the White House and fellow Republicans. Greene criticized party leaders during a federal government shutdown and urged action to protect people losing health insurance subsidies. Greene has campaigned for transparency and the full release of Jeffrey Epstein-related files and shared a text she sent Trump, saying his resistance showed intense opposition to disclosure.
