MTG Says Threats Against Family Escalated as Break With Trump Deepened

Just days before her resignation from Congress becomes official, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is escalating a very public break with President Donald J. Trump—this time accusing him of fostering an environment that has put her family in danger.

Greene, who entered Congress in 2021 as one of Trump’s staunchest allies, now says she fears for her life and her family. According to Greene, her office has documented 773 death threats since she took office. Those numbers, she added, do not include the repeated swatting and doxing incidents targeting her Georgia home.

“I don’t want to have anything to do with that anymore because I have seen first hand over the past five years the horrific results of it,” Greene told Atlanta News First on Monday, speaking about the toxic political climate. She went on to accuse the president of behavior she called “extremely unbecoming of the president of the United States.”

Greene also claimed a pipe bomb was recently mailed to her office and alleged that threats specifically naming her son were directly fueled by Trump.

“The direct threats on my son, I fully blame President Trump,” she said.

This is not the first time Greene has been targeted. In 2024, after a police officer responding to a fake emergency call at her home crashed and killed an innocent driver, Georgia lawmakers passed SB 421, increasing penalties for swatting and doxing. The bill was widely understood to be a response to the escalating harassment against Greene.

But her latest allegations extend far beyond the usual partisan friction. Greene said Trump’s private reaction after she alerted him to the most recent incidents “left her shaken.”

“His response was unspeakable,” Greene claimed. “What he said to me, I’m not going to repeat it, but it was absolutely unreal. And he had no sympathy for me or for my family.”

Greene’s falling-out with House Republicans has been building for more than a year. During this year’s government funding battle, she split with the GOP over Affordable Care Act subsidies, and later over the release of documents involving Jeffrey Epstein.

She suggested those documents were the final fracture between her and Trump.

“That’s really been shocking,” Greene said. “I will make no apologies for standing with women who were raped. I think that’s the right thing to do. And I’m sticking with it.”

Greene is scheduled to leave Congress on January 5, 2026.

Her departure sets up a high-stakes primary in Georgia’s 14th District, where a state senator, a former Greene staffer, and several other Republicans are already competing for the open seat. Greene has said she does not plan to endorse anyone.

President Trump, who has largely dismissed Greene’s attacks, took a softer tone last month when asked about her hours after she released a blistering resignation statement. Speaking to ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott, Trump said her resignation was “great news for the country. It’s great.”

He added that Greene “went BAD” after he declined to return what he described as her “never ending barrage of phone calls.”

“Nevertheless, I will always appreciate Marjorie, and thank her for her service to our Country!” Trump said.
