represent. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) Scorched Earth for the President Donald Trump in a new york times In a profile Monday, she dismissed the president’s claims of Christian faith and pointed to her stance on the Epstein dossier as contributing to his breakdown.
Greene, a Trump loyalist for years, spoke to The Times about her break with the president Robert DraperClaiming she was “naive” because she was part of what she called a “toxic” political culture, she said she found it inconsistent with her Christian beliefs.
Greene, who now finds herself labeled a “traitor” by the president and his most embarrassing Republican critics, explained that her break with Trump intensified after the conservative activist was killed in September. Charlie Kirkshe recalls as a pivotal moment.
While watching Kirk’s memorial service, Green said she was struck by the contrast between Kirk’s widow’s forgiveness and Erica Kirkas well as Trump’s remarks on stage. Unlike Kirk, he chose to “hate” his “opponent.”
“It just shows where his heart is,” she later texted Draper, adding: “It just shows where his heart is. That’s the difference, her having a sincere Christian faith and proving he doesn’t have any.”
green told era The incident forced her to reflect on the image of a brawler she said Trump helped normalize and of which she was a part.
“We on this side have been trained by Donald Trump to never apologize and never admit that we were wrong,” she said. “No matter what, you just keep hitting your enemies. As a Christian, I don’t believe in doing that. I agree with Erica Kirk, she did the hardest thing and spoke out.”
“Charlie died,” Green told Draper on another occasion. “I realized I was part of this toxic culture. I really started to examine my faith. I wanted to become more like Christ.”
Greene insists that the real break from Trump’s perspective is her stance on his release. Jeffrey Epstein document.
“This is Epstein. Epstein is everything,” she told the outlet era.
Green pushed for the mandatory release of investigative materials, arguing that it symbolized elite impunity: “Wealthy, powerful elites do terrible things and get away with it. And women are the victims.”
The break sparked broader criticism of what she saw as differences between Trump and congressional Republicans over “America First” policymaking, infuriating Republican lawmakers and leading the president to label her a “traitor.”
“Will I or my children be murdered because he called me a traitor?” she said she asked herself after receiving a pipe bomb threat and an anonymous email directed at her son.
Shortly after she announced she was retiring from Congress, but she always insisted she hadn’t changed — MAGA had.
“Everyone said, ‘She’s changed,'” Green told Draper. “I haven’t changed my perspective. But I’ve matured. I’ve developed depth.”
She added: “I learned about Washington and I came to understand the brokenness of this place. If none of us are here to learn the lessons and grow and mature through the lessons, then who are we?”
Marjorie Taylor Greene scorched Trump in a lengthy New York Times article — claiming “he has no faith whatsoever” and that her stance on Epstein was the final straw.
