Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said in a recent podcast that President Trump responded “unkindly” when she sent her a message saying she and her family had received death threats after she resigned from Congress.
Greene told the “Piers Morgan Uncensored” host on Wednesday that she contacted FBI Director Kash Patel and other senior Trump administration officials after threats against her “escalated” to one of her children.
“I’m very disturbed that my children are getting death threats because of him,” she said on the show, claiming some of the warnings echoed Trump’s own words, including labeling her a “traitor.”
“I am not a traitor to my country. Standing up for rape victims does not make me a traitor,” Greene added, referring to her support for victims of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and pressure on the Justice Department to release documents related to the case.
The former congressman said she warned the president of the threats against her, but he “didn’t show any compassion.” Green said that was the last time the two spoke.
“What did he say to you?” Morgan pressed.
“He has no sympathy for the death threats that my children are receiving. He basically blames me that if my son is killed, it’s going to be my fault,” the Georgia Republican’s response seemed to shock Morgan.
Greene went on to say that the exchange felt like a “nail in the coffin” in terms of her impression of Trump.
“Some of my biggest political enemies would never say that to me,” she argued. “Democrats in Congress with whom I may have disagreements would never say something like this to me. No one has ever said anything like this to me.”
“I don’t know what kind of person basically wouldn’t sympathize or care about someone’s child being threatened with being killed. It’s just, it’s unimaginable,” Green added.
In a statement to The Hill, the White House dismissed Greene as “a quitter who has pathetically tried to stay relevant by appearing on liberal media shows to slam President Trump.”
“Unfortunately, Trump Derangement Syndrome has corrupted former Congresswoman Greene’s peanut-sized brain,” spokesman Davis Ingler said.
Greene’s once-close relationship with the president began to sour in late 2025 as she criticized the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files and his handling of domestic issues such as affordability and health care.
A public spat between the two erupted in November after Trump withdrew his support for Greene and called her an “angry lunatic” among other derogatory terms. She then decided to resign from the House of Representatives early.
The former MAGA ally has since become an outspoken opponent of U.S. military action in Iran and Trump’s rhetoric surrounding the conflict, viewing the decision to launch a joint strike against Tehran as a “betrayal” of his 2024 campaign promises.
Last week, she called for the passage of the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office after he escalated the conflict by threatening to attack civilian infrastructure if Tehran did not come to the negotiating table.
Greene told Morgan on the podcast that she thinks the deportation proceedings are “extremely unlikely” to happen and believes Republicans are “serving Donald Trump as if he’s some kind of cult leader.”
“I don’t know how anyone can not stand up to the president when he says something like wiping out an entire civilization, especially no one in government or any self-professed Christian Republican serving in the House or Senate,” she said.
“They have to speak up. When the president says these things, everybody in the administration and everybody in Congress is unwilling to challenge him and say we need to check on his mental state,” Green added.
