Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene broke with Donald Trump last year, leading her to resign from Congress, and since then, she’s repeatedly ripped the president, over everything from the Iran war to the Epstein files to support for Israel.

Now, Greene has dropped another nugget about her break with the president.

According to The Hill, Greene had already shared that she had received death threats over her criticism of the president, with some of them directed at her children.

Appearing on Piers Morgan’s show, Greene told the FBI about the threats.

“I was so upset over death threats on my children because of him,” Greene told Morgan. “I’m not a traitor to my country. Standing up for rape victims doesn’t make me a traitor,” she said, contrary to what Trump said of her. As for her son, Greene claimed that Trump “had no compassion for death threats on my children. He blamed me basically that if my son were to get killed, it would be my fault.”

Greene, in a CNN appearance last December, had hinted that Trump had said something terrible to her about the threats against her son, but did not specify what:

“Some of my biggest political enemies would never say that to me,” Greene said on Morgan’s show. “Democrats that I may have had disagreements with in Congress would have never said that to me. No one’s ever said those types of words to me… I don’t know what kind of person basically has no compassion or care to someone’s child being threatened to be killed. It’s just, it’s unimaginable.”

The White House responded to The Hill’s report, describing Greene as a “quitter who is pathetically trying to stay relevant by going on liberal media shows to bash President Trump… Unfortunately, Trump Derangement Syndrome has rotted former Congresswoman Greene’s peanut-sized brain.”

The statement did not, however, contain a denial of what Greene claimed.
