Response to Trump's Attacks

  • πŸ’” Marjorie Taylor Greene expresses sorrow for President Trump, viewing his hateful rhetoric and name-calling as poor leadership that contributes to America's toxic political environment.
  • πŸ›οΈ She notes that Trump's attacks, including calling her a "traitor," stem from his team not informing him about her legislation, much of which aligns with his campaign agenda and executive orders.

Impact of Political Rhetoric on Safety

  • ⚠️ Greene highlights that Trump's words led to serious death threats against her and her family, including a pipe bomb threat at her home and on her family's construction company.
  • πŸ˜₯ A direct assassination threat on her 22-year-old son was particularly distressing, leading her to send the threats directly to Trump.
  • πŸ’” Trump's reaction to these threats was described as "unkind" and lacking sympathy, shocking Greene.

Criticism of Trump and Republican Leadership

  • βš–οΈ She criticizes the "political industrial complex" and the "weaponized justice system" used for political purposes by both parties, including the Biden DOJ and state AGs against Trump.
  • πŸ“ˆ Greene points out her 98% voting record with Trump, questioning how she could be considered a traitor.

Women's Role in the Republican Party

  • 🚺 Greene agrees with Congresswoman Nancy Mace's assessment that many Republican women are not taken seriously and their legislation is sidelined.
  • 🚫 She cites the example of her "Protect Children's Innocence Act," a key piece of legislation aligned with Trump's promises, which has not been brought to the House floor for a vote by Speaker Mike Johnson.
  • πŸ“’ Greene notes that Republican women are increasingly speaking out against the speaker due to being marginalized.

Resignation from Congress
