Of all the Republicans who have broken with Donald Trump over the years, the most shocking rupture was with Marjorie Taylor Greene, the former Georgia Congresswoman who was long one of Trump’s most outspoken loyalists. After she began breaking with Trump over such issues as the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and Israel, Greene ultimately chose to leave Congress earlier this year.
In a speech in April, Greene revealed that Trump had made a shocking comment to her about her son.
Per The Daily Beast, Greene was speaking at the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity in Texas, and shared that she called around to top Trump officials after she began to receive death threats, following Trump referring to her as a “traitor.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene: ‘Trump texted me that if my son gets killed, I deserve it because I was a traitor to him. I’d probably get put in jail if I released the texts. That’s our president’

It was a speech that Greene had told versions of in recent weeks. But this time, she got a laugh when she took a shot at FBI Director Kash Patel.
“I did hear from Kash Patel, he said, ‘On it,’ but I haven’t heard from him since,” Greene said, in the speech, before adding, “I don’t know what he’s on.” This led to laughs from the crowd, especially since the speech came not long after the publication of The Atlantic article alleging drinking and other dysfunction on the part of the FBI director.
Greene then talked about what Trump had said to her.
