Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has reached her breaking point after receiving a surge of death threats from online trolls, she claimed in an emotional statement. The threats, which she described as "hotbeds of venom," were allegedly fueled by President Donald Trump's relentless attacks on social media.
In a scathing series of posts, Trump labelled Greene "Marjorie 'Traitor' Green [sic]," calling her a "disgrace" to the Republican Party. He also suggested she should face a primary challenge, likening her to someone who would "have my Complete and Unyielding Support."
Greene's comments are a stark contrast to her past support for Trump. The two had been close allies until recent months when Greene repeatedly criticized Trump's handling of the Epstein files, his economic messaging strategy, and focus on foreign policy.
On X, Greene fired back at Trump, accusing him of "attacking me and lying" about her. She claimed that Trump was trying to intimidate other Republicans ahead of next week's House vote on whether to release the Epstein files.
However, in a shocking twist, it appears that Trump's online aggression has pushed Greene over the edge. The congresswoman revealed she is receiving threats that "fuel and egg on" by the President himself, describing them as a source of fear and pressure for her and other women who have suffered similar harassment.
"I take threats from men seriously," Greene said in a statement. Comparing herself to victims of Jeffrey Epstein, Greene expressed a newfound understanding of the terror and pressure they must feel.
The feud between Trump and Greene has highlighted the increasingly toxic nature of online discourse and the devastating impact it can have on individuals, particularly women. As Greene's words echo through the halls of Congress, one thing is clear: Trump's actions have left her feeling betrayed and targeted – a victim of his own rhetoric.

. I mean, who wants to get death threats online? It's crazy how these online trolls can be so venomous. And to think they're fueled by someone like Trump, who's supposed to be a leader... it just shows how toxic the situation can get.
. The pressure and stress of dealing with online harassment can really take its toll. I hope Marjorie takes care of herself and gets some support from her colleagues and friends. We need to create a safer space for women in politics who are already under a lot of scrutiny.
. I hope this makes others think twice before engaging in online mean-spiritedness. We need to be kinder and more respectful, even when we disagree with someone.
. I mean, I know Marjorie Taylor Greene got some major heat from Trump, but threats and insults just aren't the answer, you feel? It's like, yeah, she can handle herself in a debate, but that doesn't give anyone the right to try to scare her off or make her life more difficult. And can we talk about how uncool it is for Trump to be basically bullying Greene over social media? Like, if he wants to disagree with her, just have a real conversation or something 
. But instead, he's resorting to name-calling and trying to gaslight her online... it's not cool, dude 
.
And now she's receiving death threats because of his own words? That's just insane. It's like he's trying to create a toxic online environment where people are too afraid to speak up. 
As a woman in politics, Greene should be able to hold her own without being intimidated by someone who's basically trolling her 24/7. But honestly, I don't blame her for feeling betrayed and targeted – Trump's rhetoric can be pretty venomous 
... it's just so sad that this is the kind of behavior we're seeing from a "public figure". 
I'm telling you, this whole situation with Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump is getting outta hand 
! Like, did we really need another example of how toxic online discourse can be? 
According to recent data from the Pew Research Center (
), 59% of Americans believe that online harassment is a major problem in the US, and 71% say it's affecting their daily lives 
. Meanwhile, X (that's Twitter for you non-techies 
) just released some mind-blowing stats: in 2022 alone, there were over 25 billion tweets sent out – but did that many people really have to be subjected to online abuse? 
In fact, a study by the Cyberbullying Research Center found that women are disproportionately affected by online harassment (
. Let's take a closer look at this trend: 
According to Google Trends, searches for "online harassment" have increased by 35% since 2020 
), we can see that the number of users reporting online abuse has more than tripled in just two years 
! It's clear: Trump's actions have consequences, and they're not just limited to Greene or other individuals 
. We need to take a step back and ask ourselves – are we creating a culture where online discourse is toxic? 
.
I'm really sorry to hear that Rep. Greene is going through this 
. It's wild how social media can be used as a tool for harassment & bullying. I feel bad for her having to deal with all these threats, especially when she was once close to Trump 
. It's like he's trying to intimidate others too 
. Greene's got the right to stand up for herself & others who are being targeted 
. We should all be supporting her, not just as a fellow politician, but as a human being who deserves respect 
. Trump's actions might've driven her away from him, but they're also revealing his own toxic behavior 
. I mean, who would want to receive those kind of threats online? It's like she's being bullied on a national stage 
. I don't get why he can't just keep quiet and let her do her job as a congresswoman. Instead, he has to go and make everything personal 
. It's like she was blinded by his charm and charisma... or maybe she thought she could change him from the inside out 
. But now it looks like she's just a pawn in his game, and that's not okay 
.
. And as a parent, it makes me so angry that our kids are being exposed to all this negativity from such an early age 
.
he's basically creating an environment where people feel emboldened to be cruel and hurtful... meanwhile, women who have already suffered so much (like Epstein victims) are being held up as examples of what Greene should feel 
it's so sad to see how toxic online discourse can get, especially when you're a public figure like greene. she talks about feeling pressure and fear because of the threats, it's really messed up 
i feel bad for her, she was actually one of trump's biggest allies just months ago but now he's turning on her. anyway, i hope congresswoman green takes care of herself and finds support 
. I mean we all knew trump was a bit of a loose cannon but who would've thought he'd get under marjorie taylors skin so bad? it's like she said, threats from men are serious and no one should have to deal with that kinda crap in congress 
this whole situation is wild
we need to be more mindful of our words and actions online, especially when it comes to women and minorities
