Citing Epstein Files, Greene Breaks With Republican Party

Marjorie Taylor Greene says she's not just finished with Donald Trump—she's through with the GOP. In a lengthy X post on Friday, USA Today reports, the former Georgia congresswoman wrote that she can "no longer support" the Republican Party and wants "nothing to do with" it. Greene described a civil war inside the GOP that she said is purging "America Firsters" like herself and outgoing Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie. Once a staunch Trump ally who said she backed him 98% of the time, Greene said the relationship collapsed over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, after which Trump labeled her "Marjorie Traitor Greene," a nickname she says triggered threats against her family.

Greene, who resigned her House seat earlier this year rather than seek reelection, argues that her policy views haven't changed, but that Trump and the party have abandoned the movement she thought she was advancing. She accuses Republican leaders and figures she helped elect, including Vice President JD Vance, of staying silent as she was vilified. "They are under full capture and control," Greene posted, ending by asking readers, "What will you do about it?"
