"The former Trump ally accuses him of trying to intimidate Republicans before a US House vote next week over the Epstein files. Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene has accused United States President Donald Trump of putting her life in danger, saying his online criticism has triggered a wave of threats against her. Greene, once a longtime Trump loyalist who has more recently taken positions at odds with the president, on Saturday said she has been contacted by private security firms warning about her safety."
"Aggressive rhetoric attacking me has historically led to death threats and multiple convictions of men who were radicalised by the same type [of] rhetoric being directed at me right now, Greene, a House of Representatives member from Georgia, posted on X. This time by the President of the United States. The White House has not yet responded to her post."
"Trump broke off with Greene, 51, on Friday night in a withering social media post, in which he referred to Greene as wacky and a ranting lunatic who complained he would not take her calls. He continued his criticism on Saturday with two more social media posts, calling her a lightweight Congresswoman, a traitor, and a disgrace to the Republican Party."
Marjorie Taylor Greene says President Donald Trump's public criticism has provoked a wave of threats and prompted private security firms to warn about her safety. Greene, a Republican representative from Georgia and former Trump loyalist, accused Trump of lying and attempting to intimidate other Republicans ahead of a House vote on releasing Jeffrey Epstein files. Greene said aggressive rhetoric historically led to death threats and convictions of radicalised men and that Trump's attacks fuel radical internet trolls. Trump called Greene a 'wacky' 'ranting lunatic', a 'lightweight Congresswoman', a 'traitor' and a 'disgrace' in social media posts. The White House has not responded.
