Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a former Trump loyalist, ripped into the president.

The gloves are off.
Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene blasted the President on Tuesday, trading barbs with him after he called her a traitor.
Greene, formerly a staunch Donald Trump supporter, has been at odds with the President over the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. In addition, Greene has accused him of placing more emphasis on foreign affairs like Israel and less on the U.S. economy.
On Tuesday, as she spoke to the press, Greene pointed out that Trump had called her a “traitor” despite her having given him “her loyalty for free” until now.
“I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for five, no, actually, six years for, and I gave him my loyalty for free,” Greene said, according to The Independent. “I won my first election without his endorsement, beating eight men in a primary. And I’ve never owed him anything, but I fought for him, for the policies and for America First, and he called me a traitor for standing with these women and refusing to take my name off the discharge petition.”
“Let me tell you what a traitor is. A traitor is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves. A patriot is an American that serves the United States of America and Americans like the women standing behind me,” Greene emphatically said.

“And I want to tell you that this only became possible today, because the American people, whom we serve as representatives here in Congress, demanded that this vote happen, and they put more pressure on every single elected politician in this city than has ever been put on them.”
Speaking at a press conference alongside the bill’s co-sponsors, California Democrat Ro Khanna and Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie, and a group of Epstein survivors, Greene said the survivors had “fought the most horrific fight that no woman should have to fight” against “the most powerful people in the world, even the President of the United States, in order to make this vote happen today.”
Greene, who was one of four Republicans to sign on to the discharge petition that forced House Speaker Mike Johnson to schedule a vote on the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act, responded to Trump repeatedly labeling her a “traitor” for having defied his demand to remove her name from the congressional discharge petition before it reached the required 218 signatures to force Johnson to bring the bill to the floor.
