Trump cuts ties with 'Wacky' Marjorie Taylor Greene, once among his top MAGA-world defenders
"The dismissal of Greene - 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 - appeared to be the final break in a dispute simmering for months, as Greene has seemingly moderated her political profile."
"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,""
President Donald Trump publicly broke with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, labeling her 'Wacky Marjorie' and saying he would endorse a challenger against her in next year's midterms if the right person runs. Greene had been a prominent MAGA ally who wore a red cap and acted as an intermediary between Trump and other Capitol Hill Republicans. Greene has recently moderated her profile and increasingly dissented from Republican leaders, attacking them during the federal government shutdown and urging plans to help people losing insurance subsidies. Greene responded on X, accusing Trump of attacking and lying and linking his reaction to texts about the Jeffrey Epstein files.
