ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – A growing feud between President Donald Trump and Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene intensified on Monday, after the two traded blows online and in weekend political show appearances. <\/p>\n

On Friday, the president posted a long message<\/a> withdrawing his support of Greene, a longtime Congressional ally and supporter. <\/p>\n

\u201cAll I see \u2018Wacky\u2019 Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN,\u201d the post on Truth Social reads. \u201cIt seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn\u2019t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement \u2014 which she wasn\u2019t about to get!).\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump then suggested he may back a primary supporter against Greene in the upcoming 2026 primary race. <\/p>\n

Greene, who represents the Rome and greater Floyd County area, handily won her 2024 election with around 65% of the vote. <\/p>\n

The tension with the White House began when Greene vocally broke from her party to support Affordable Care Act healthcare subsidies that were at the center of the recent government shutdown, the longest in American history. The tax credits, which are set to expire at the end of the year, helped Americans cheapen their health insurance premiums. Members of Greene\u2019s constituency and even her own family, she said, used them. <\/p>\n

But Greene said the more recent issue of the release of documents tied to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was the source of tension between her and Trump. <\/p>\n

Greene recently backed an effort to hold a House vote on the release of previously secret documents tied to Epstein. <\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, it has all come down to the Epstein files and that is shocking,\u201d said Greene, speaking on CNN this weekend. \u201cAnd I will not apologize for that. I believe the country deserves transparency in these files, and I don\u2019t believe that rich, powerful people should be protected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump has been hesitant to support the release of the documents, but acquiesced Sunday and joined the growing chorus of lawmakers and officials calling for transparency in the case. <\/p>\n

Greene, who has been a firebrand politician herself, apologized for her often incendiary rhetoric, calling her past politics \u201ctoxic.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to say, humbly, I\u2019m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics. It\u2019s very bad for our country,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve been working on this a lot lately to put down the knives in politics. I really just want to see people be kind to one another and we need to figure out a new path forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump issued no attempt to calm waters with Greene, once arguably his most fervent supporter in Congress. In a separate post<\/a> to his social media site Truth Social, Trump called Greene a \u201ctraitor.\u201d <\/p>\n

Greene, who has been the victim of doxing in the past to the point that Georgia\u2019s General Assembly passed new legislation bolstering penalties, said she feared anew for her safety in light of attacks from the president. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe called me a traitor and that is, that is so extremely wrong,\u201d she said. \u201cThose are the types of words um used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger.\u201d<\/p>\n
