WASHINGTON, DC: Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene issued an extraordinary public warning on Saturday, November 15, saying that private security firms are now contacting her over fresh threats to her safety, which she claims are being “fueled and egged on” by President Donald Trump.

In a lengthy post on X, Greene claimed that, despite being a staunch supporter of Trump and “helping him get elected,” the president’s recent rhetoric against her has sparked a surge of hostility.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says she was warned of escalating danger

“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,” she wrote.

“Aggressive rhetoric attacking me has historically led to death threats and multiple convictions of men who were radicalized by the same type rhetoric being directed at me right now. This time by the president of the United States,” she continued.

Greene, who noted that she “overwhelmingly votes for President Trump’s bills and agenda,” was stunned by the escalation.



“As a woman I take threats from men seriously,” she added, saying that she now has a “small understanding” of the pressure faced by women who have accused Jeffrey Epstein and “his cabal.”

The Georgia Republican said that her phone has been “blowing up with constant amazing support,” but warned that the “toxic violent nature of American politics must end.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene links Trump’s rhetoric to radical internet trolls 

The clash began after Greene challenged Trump’s position on the release of the Epstein documents, an explosive political flashpoint that has sparked debate across the party.

Greene said in her post, "As a Republican, who overwhelmingly votes for President Trump‘s bills and agenda, his aggression against me which also fuels the venomous nature of his radical internet trolls (many of whom are paid), this is completely shocking to everyone." 

Despite the heated exchanges, Greene concluded her message with an appeal for unity. "Our country is worth saving and it can only be done if we pull together and save ourselves,” she said.

Feud intensifies after clash over Epstein files

Greene’s alarming statement comes amid a widening rift between her and the president, fueled by a string of blistering social-media exchanges over the weekend.

Trump berated Greene after she publicly questioned his stance on the newly unsealed Epstein files, mocking her political relevance and accusing her of disloyalty.



Greene fired back repeatedly, saying that Trump was misinformed, surrounded by bad advisers, and unfairly targeting her despite her track record of loyalty to his legislative agenda.

Their feud spilled into Saturday, with both posting sharply worded messages that drew widespread public attention.
