WASHINGTON, DC: Senator Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t holding back. She was one of the four Republicans who voted to make the Jeffrey Epstein files public, a move that clearly didn’t sit well with Donald Trump, who called her “wacky.”

Greene posted on X (formerly Twitter) saying that voting against releasing the Epstein files would spark outrage among women and hurt Republican support. The post was shared on Sunday, November 16, and gained 4.6 million views within a few hours.

Her warning came after Congressman Troy E Nehls voted “no” to defy Trump and offered his support to the president against the Epstein file vote. She re-shared the post to send a strong “ultimate warning” to her fellow Republican colleagues.

Marjorie Taylor Greene warns Republicans risk losing women’s support amid Donald Trump's online attack

The Republican lawmaker has faced criticism for voting yes to release the Epstein files, though she also earned support from 27 of Epstein’s survivors. She shows no signs of backing down in the political battle she’s engaged in.

Greene reshared a post by Congressman Troy Nehls as an example, who wrote, "President Trump - I stand by you in the fight to save America. I’m not going to let this hoax, manufactured by Democrats, slow us down."

She added her own caption, "The ratio on this post should serve as the ultimate warning to all of my Republican colleagues. You vote NO on Tuesday to release the Epstein files and face severe outrage from America."

She cautioned that opposing the Epstein file vote could backfire. She said, "Republicans don’t have support from women, and this right here is a perfect example of why."

Marjorie Taylor Greene fires back at Donald Trump over Epstein files clash



Marjorie Taylor Greene accused Donald Trump of spreading lies about her and trying to intimidate other Republicans ahead of next week’s House vote on releasing files connected to the late financier. Greene said she now has a “small understanding” of the fear and pressure experienced by Epstein’s victims. 

“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,” she wrote.

There’s clearly a major feud between Greene and the president. Previously, Trump escalated his attacks, calling her a “Lightweight Congresswoman, traitor, and a disgrace” to the Republican Party.
