The Georgia representative's revelation comes after Trump rescinded his support and suggested he would back a primary challenger against her.

The Georgia representative’s revelation comes after Trump rescinded his support and suggested he would back a primary challenger against her.

“I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world. The man I supported and helped get elected,” Greene wrote in a post on X on Saturday.

In recent days, Greene and three other Republican House lawmakers faced pressure from the White House to remove their names from a House petition that will force a floor vote on a measure calling for the Justice Department to release files it has related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Greene has doubled down on her support for releasing the files, writing in her social media post about the new threats she’s receiving that, “I now have a small understanding of the fear and pressure the women, who are victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal, must feel.”

    Person who plays with fire is surprised to learn that she is in danger of being burned.

      Can confirm. As CEO of Antifa I have put all our AI bots into fueling fascist infighting.

    This is why nobody wants to speak out against him - he pardoned like 1000 people willing to commit violence in his name.

    Sounds like she’s not getting serious threats, but she’s getting targeted marketing / extortion from security firms.

      How I assume this works is those firms are watching social media. They see an increase in threats, which is real, but is also an opportunity for them to sell their services, so they take screenshots and use it to sell themselves. It’s not made up. It’s just useful. We’ve seen the threats over and over anytime someone deviates from Trump.

        That and I’m pretty sure she’s the asshole that kept bringing a gun into chambers. She’s been the threat to almost everyone else until this moment.

    Oh? And how many random people have gotten death threats because of your unhinged rhetoric in the past Marge? You got to eat your share of faces, now the worm has turned ya psycho.

    It’s good that she’s against Trump. Now that she has been betrayed by MAGA, she will become their biggest opponent.

      She’s probably trying to get ahead of the administration collapsing on itself. The entirety of this stint is for her own gain, so don’t be surprised if she turns on a dime if it suits her aims.

        I suspect you’re right, but I also suspect she actually does care about pedophilia. That’s a big part of what she ran on, and at least she’s following through even when it turns out the people she was supporting are actually the people involved. I don’t like the woman, but she seems to have more moral determination than most politicians. She’s just incredibly stupid and gullible.

      I dunno about that. The Charlie Kirk assassin had a lot of messaging similar to Nick Fuentes and his Groyper followers but we’re not allowed to talk about that. And MTG has some connections to Nick Fuentes.

      Then again, that was a few years ago, and again, we’re not allowed to talk about any of that because of American Censorship.
