President Trump publicly declared Marjorie Taylor Greene a "disgrace" to the Republican Party after she criticized him on social media for not supporting her push to release documents concerning Jeffrey Epstein. Trump's statement, made on his Truth Social platform, came about an hour after Greene, without directly naming Trump, expressed disappointment over his withdrawal of endorsement for her re-election campaign, attributing it to her focus on the Epstein files.
Greene had stated that fighting to release the Epstein files, defending victims, and exposing powerful elites should not have led to this outcome. She suggested a need for a new path forward, criticizing the "toxic political industrial complex" for division and lack of results for the American people.
She emphasized her belief in the American people and an "America First America Only" approach. Earlier, Trump had labeled Greene as "wacky" and a "lunatic" and announced he was withdrawing his endorsement.
He accused her of constant complaining over recent weeks, contrasting it with his administration's achievements. Greene, in response, posted on X that the "Person in Charge" promotes hatred and division among Americans, leading to violence and near civil war.
Trump's decision to withdraw his support was specifically linked to her interest in the Epstein files.
