- Greene says her office reported 773 death threats over five years, including assassination threats against her son and harassment from both online and phone sources.
- She claims threats shifted from left to right after clashing with Trump over Epstein documents, highlighting deep GOP fractures and her early resignation.
In the cutthroat arena of American politics, where loyalties shift like sand and tempers flare hotter than a Georgia summer, few stories capture the raw underbelly of division quite like the one unfolding with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The firebrand Republican from Georgia, once the unyielding voice of the MAGA movement, dropped a bombshell over the weekend: her office has tallied more than 700 death threats over the past five years.
And in a twist that has tongues wagging from Capitol Hill to the heartland diners, she says the latest wave isn’t coming from the usual suspects on the left—it’s pouring in from the right, sparked by her very public fallout with President Donald Trump.

Details of Greene’s Statements
Greene laid it all bare in a series of raw, unfiltered posts on X on Sunday, painting a picture of a congresswoman under siege.
“My office has reported 773 death threats to Capitol Police, but those were just the threats that came directly into my office via call or email, and don’t include the countless threats online to myself and my family members.
We just didn’t have enough people to constantly monitor that,” she wrote, her words carrying the weight of someone who’s stared down the abyss of anonymous rage one too many times.
It’s a chilling tally, one that underscores just how toxic the political bloodstream has become.
But what makes Greene’s revelations hit like a gut punch is the evolution of her tormentors.
For years, she says, the venom flowed steadily from progressive corners—predictable, if infuriating, in the eyes of her conservative base.
Then came her stand on the Jeffrey Epstein files, a cause that thrust her into the spotlight as an unlikely champion for survivors of the disgraced financier’s web of abuse.
She signed onto a House discharge petition demanding the full release of government documents tied to Epstein, a move that rippled through Washington like a stone skipped across a frozen pond.
That ripple turned into a tidal wave when Trump, the man she’d long hailed as a political savior, turned on her.
The Fallout with President Donald Trump
In a blistering Truth Social post, he branded her “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Green” and fumed that she was “a disgrace to our GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY!” Suddenly, the threats flipped scripts.
“All of the death threats came from the ‘left’ until I stood with the Epstein Survivors, woman who were raped as teenagers, abused, and trafficked by rich powerful men, and that’s when President Trump turned on me and called me a ‘traitor’ and then new death threats and harassments came from the ‘right’ or somewhere,” Greene posted, her frustration bleeding through every keystroke.
This isn’t just personal drama; it’s a microcosm of the fractures spiderwebbing through the Republican Party and the broader “America First” coalition that propelled Trump back to the White House.
Greene, elected in the 2020 wave that swept in a new breed of unapologetic conservatives, has been Trump’s megaphone—rallying crowds with her sharp-tongued takedowns of the “deep state” and championing policies from border walls to Second Amendment absolutism.
Her reelections in 2022 and 2024 only burnished her bona fides as a survivor in a district as red as they come.
Yet here she is, announcing her early exit from Congress on January 5, 2026, just weeks into what was supposed to be her third term.
The special election to fill her Georgia 14th District seat is already looming, a contest that could either heal or hemorrhage the MAGA faithful further.
The Toll of the Public Fallout
In her X thread, Greene didn’t mince words about the toll.
She described a barrage that went beyond boilerplate hate: unwanted pizza deliveries laced with doxxing attempts, pipe-bomb hoaxes rattling her staff, and—most gut-wrenching of all—assassination threats aimed at her son.
“I sent these assassination threats on my son to President Trump in which he responded with harsh accusatory replies and zero sympathy,” she revealed, a line that lands like a betrayal in a family feud.
And then there’s the security void that’s haunted her tenure.
Despite the deluge of dangers, Greene claims she’s never been assigned a Capitol Police detail. Any protection?
It’s come out of her own campaign coffers, a line item that’s drawn scrutiny before but now feels like a tragic footnote.
Campaign finance records, as Newsweek has previously reported, show she’s shelled out hundreds of thousands on private guards—expenditures that predate this Trump rift by years.
It’s a reminder that in Congress, where threats have become as routine as roll calls, vulnerability isn’t partisan; it’s universal.
Greene’s story doesn’t exist in isolation.
It’s part of a grim chorus echoing across the aisles.
Just last month, during a CBS 60 Minutes sit-down, she recounted how Trump “grew furious” over her Epstein petition—a fury that has since metastasized into this full-throated feud.
Meanwhile, a cadre of Democratic lawmakers with national security chops reported their own threat spikes after Trump labeled their warnings against “illegal orders” as “punishable by DEATH.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer disclosed in early December that three of his New York offices fielded emailed bomb threats.
It’s a bipartisan bloodletting, fueled by the same hyper-polarized fever that’s gripped the nation.
Even her fellow Republicans are sounding the alarm. Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee told Axios last month that the relentless harassment has pushed several colleagues toward early retirement: “It takes a toll on people.”
Sen. Elissa Slotkin, a Michigan Democrat, confided to NBC News in November that her office has fielded “hundreds and hundreds, if not, you know, closer to a thousand threats.”
And Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts vented on X in September about a fresh onslaught from right-wing corners:
“My office has received an extraordinary number of violent and graphic threats yesterday and today from right-wing individuals online and over the phone—directed toward me, my family, and my staff—after I pointed out the simple fact that President Trump should join Speaker Mike Johnson and other level-headed Republicans in condemning political violence, not inciting it further.”
As Greene wrapped her thread, she circled back to her core: “My voting and legislation has always been conservative and unapologetically America First.”
But in a nod to the ultimate cost of dissent, she mused darkly, “Must I stay until I am Charlie Kirk’ed?”—an eerie reference to the assassination of conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk earlier this year, a tragedy that still sends shivers through activist circles.
Moving Forward
Her parting shot? A broadside at the GOP’s current trajectory: “A Congressional Republican majority who takes orders from the WH and relinquishes all control to the executive branch, is not serving the will of their voters.
And an admin that only provides results through executive orders only provides temporary policies to the American people.”
She closed with a plea that transcends sides: “Regardless of left or right, death threats and political violence is out of control.”
Newsweek reached out to Capitol Police on Sunday for comment but has not yet received a response.
As the special election gears up and the Trump-Greene chasm widens, one thing’s clear: In this era of endless outrage, the real casualty might be trust itself.
Will Greene’s exit mark the end of an era for MAGA’s unflinching vanguard, or just the spark for the next round of infighting?
Only time—and perhaps a few more X threads—will tell.
