In A First Since 1999, U.S. Gives A Miss To NATO Huddle As Trump Distances DC From Anti-Russia Bloc<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
She said she believed he had failed to keep domestic policy as his top priority, pointing specifically to his support for the crypto and pharmaceutical industries rather than measures to aid the American people.Greene broke with the president on issues of affordability and foreign affairs, citing the high cost of living in her district and nationwide. During the government shutdown she sided with Democrats to extend health care subsidies under the Affordable Care Act, a move she never expected to undertake. She also became the only Republican member of Congress to publicly characterise the war in Gaza as a \u201cgenocide\u201d and voted against the Antisemitism Awareness Act despite having previously voted to denounce antisemitism.Greene said in her resignation video that \u201cthose are the areas that are still getting everything they want, while the people, we\u2019re still out here saying, \u2018We want to see action on areas for the American people, not for the major industries and the big donors.\u2019\u201dShe criticised the congressional exercise on antisemitism. \u201cIt becomes an exercise that they force on Congress, and I simply got tired of it,\u201d she said, later adding, \u201cWe don\u2019t have to get on our knees and say it over and over again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
Republicans in Congress mocked Trump privately<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
Greene accused other Republicans of fearing a harsh response from the president on Truth Social. \u201cI think they\u2019re terrified to step out of line and get a nasty Truth Social post on them,\u201d she said, noting that some colleagues who once mocked Trump have since reverted to \u201ckissing his ass\u201d and wearing a MAGA hat. Greene herself said, \u201cMAGA is President Trump\u2019s phrase. That\u2019s his, his political policies. I call myself America First.\u201dShe also said that the Republicans privately makes fun of Trump only to come around to support him when he won their party\u2019s 2024 White House nomination, outgoing GOP House member Marjorie Taylor Greene said on Sunday. \u201cI watched many of my colleagues go from making fun of him, making fun of how he talks, making fun of me constantly for supporting him, to when he won the primary in 2024, they all started \u2013 excuse my language, Lesley \u2013 kissing his ass,\u201d Greene, a Georgia Republican, said in a clip of an interview that is set to air on Sunday. On the release of files concerning Jeffrey Epstein, Greene said the president was \u201cextremely angry\u201d that she had signed the discharge petition. \u201cHe said that it was going to hurt people,\u201d she recalled. \u201cI had asked him, \u2018These women are the ones that were hurt. They were raped at 14. They were raped at 16. I watched them stand in front of the press trembling, their bodies shaking as they were telling their stories, many of them for the first time.\u2019 And I had told him, I said, \u2018You know, you have all kinds of people come in the White House, have these women come in the White House. These women deserve to be heard.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n‘Received death threats after Trump called her lunatic’<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n
Greene said she received death threats after Trump called her a \u201clunatic\u201d and a \u201ctraitor.\u201d She claimed there was a pipe bomb threat to her home and direct threats to her son. \u201cThe subject line for the direct death threats on my son was his words, \u2018Marjorie Traitor Greene.\u2019 Those were death threats,\u201d she said. She informed both the president and the vice president; Vice President JD Vance told her they would look into it, while the president\u2019s response \u201cwasn\u2019t very nice,\u201d which Greene described as \u201cextremely unkind.\u201dDespite her split from Trump and decision to resign, Greene\u2019s popularity in her home district remains strong. She refuted reports that she plans to run for president, saying she has \u201czero desire\u201d to campaign for the position. \u201cI would hate the Senate. I\u2019m not running for governor,\u201d she told correspondent Lesley Stahl. Of her future plans, she concluded, \u201cSurprise, surprise, I\u2019m not your politician with a whole itinerary of plans or political ambitions.\u201d<\/div>\n
