WASHINGTON, D.C.: Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene accused U.S. President Donald Trump over the weekend of putting her life at risk, saying his online attacks have led to a wave of threats against her.
Greene, once a strong Trump supporter but now often at odds with him, said private security firms have contacted her with warnings about her safety.
"Aggressive attacks against me have led to death threats before, including cases where men were convicted after being radicalized by similar rhetoric," Greene wrote on X. "Now it's coming from the President of the United States."
Trump turned against Greene on the night of November 14, calling her "Wacky" and a "ranting lunatic" who complained he wouldn't take her calls. He continued the next day, calling her a "Lightweight Congresswoman," "Traitor," and a "disgrace" to the Republican Party.
In her first response, Greene accused Trump of lying about her and trying to intimidate other Republicans ahead of a House vote next week on whether to release Justice Department files related to Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender who once knew Trump.
Thereafter, Greene wrote that she now has "a small understanding" of the fear felt by Epstein's victims.
She said it was shocking for Trump to attack her, given that she usually votes for his agenda, and said his comments have stirred up his "radical internet trolls," some of whom she claimed are paid.
The White House did not immediately comment on her post.
Greene was one of only four House Republicans who, on November 12, joined Democrats in backing a petition to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein files.
Trump has dismissed the renewed focus on Epstein as a Democratic "hoax." In his Truth Social post, he suggested conservative voters in Greene's district should consider supporting a primary challenger and said he would back the right candidate against her next year.
Online attacks from Trump supporters are common, as right-wing influencers and conservative media figures often rally online to defend him and discredit his rivals.
