Marjorie Taylor Greene Takes a Flamethrower to Trump and ‘Weak Republicans’
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took a metaphorical flamethrower to President Donald Trump for a post he wrote attacking Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-KY) wife — and had some scorching words as well for the “weak Republicans” who “stay silent” instead of defending their colleague.
Once a staunch supporter of Trump and one of the most MAGA-fied members of Congress, Greene has soured on the president and his supporters, dropping a series of rhetorical bombs even as she complained of threats she’s faced as a result after Trump branded her a “traitor.” Over the weekend, Greene went so far as to declare the MAGA movement “all a lie.”
A particular bitter point of dispute between the two erstwhile allies is the ongoing controversy over the release of the Epstein files (and the content therein), with Greene having spent her last few months in Congress vehemently supporting Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna’s (D-CA) bill requiring the DOJ to release the files.
After mounting pressure — including from Massie, Greene, and other Republicans — Trump signed a law last November to release the files related to deceased child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, with a deadline of Friday, Dec. 19. The law required a wide release of millions of documents, photos, videos, and other files, with redactions limited to victims’ names and other identifying information. The Department of Justice missed that deadline, and since then, there have been additional releases of files that have revealed additional powerful people who were in communication with Epstein, thousands of mentions of Trump, and controversial failures to redact victims’ names. In the most recent release, the files also included nude images of victims that the DOJ had failed to redact. All the while, critics argue that the DOJ has failed to disclose documents that are required to be released by law and redacted information that should not be concealed, including names and other details about the men who allegedly participated in Epstein’s child sex trafficking and abuse.
Trump viciously blasted Massie in a Truth Social post last November in the wake of the bill passing, and also took some swipes at his wife, Carolyn Moffa Massie, whom he married in Nov. 2025 after his first wife, high school sweetheart Rhonda Howard Massie, died in July 2024. Trump again targeted Carolyn Massie on Monday in a post accusing her of turning her husband into a “Liberal.”
“So now he’s attacking my wife who voted for him three times,” Massie posted in response. “Maybe someone told him she’s actually the one who suggested I ask Pam Bondi in person at a dinner when we would get Phase 2 of the Epstein files. Bondi said there were no more files. As they say, the rest is history.”
Greene reacted to Trump’s latest post attacking the Massies on Monday evening by sharing her former House colleague’s tweet and adding a long post of her own that shredded Trump for “treat[ing] those who support him the most like crap” and the “weak Republicans in the House” who “stay silent refusing to utter even a word of support for their ‘friend’ Thomas Massie.”
“Shame on every one of you,” Greene wrote. “Cowards. You make me sick.”
The full text of Greene’s post:
President Trump treats those who support him the most like crap.
Thomas’s wife voted for him 3 times. She’s not a “radical left flamethrower.”
And Thomas Massie votes with the President 91% of the time, but won’t vote to protect Epstein’s sick pedophile and rapists friends or send American’s hard earned tax dollars to Israel’s wars or any other foreign country.
The President should be more concerned with voters, who put him in office, like Thomas Massie’s wife, not super rich donors and their favorite foreign countries and business demands.
Losing elections to Democrats in super red districts, like TX senate, where Trump endorsed, should be sending warning alarms across the President’s desk.
But instead he’s attacking REPUBLICAN Thomas Massie with one of the most conservative voting records in the House and his new wife with a three time MAGA voting record.
And all the weak Republicans in the House stay silent refusing to utter even a word of support for their “friend” Thomas Massie.
Shame on every one of you. Cowards. You make me sick.
