Trump says ‘Marjorie went BAD’

President Donald Trump on Saturday reacted to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s surprise resignation announcement, stating that “Marjorie went BAD.”

Trump once again referred to the Georgia Republican as a “traitor,” citing her association with Republican Rep. Tom Massie of Kentucky, who sponsored the bill advocating for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files by the Justice Department.

Greene, previously a close ally of Trump, mentioned backlash from the president over her support for the bill in her resignation statement, declaring that her last day in the House of Representatives would be Jan. 5.

“Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown, due to declining poll numbers and to avoid facing a strong primary challenger with Trump’s endorsement, has chosen to resign,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

“Her association with Tom Massie of Kentucky, who Trump refers to as Rand Paul Jr. for his opposition to Republican Party policies, did not work in her favor,” Trump added.

“For some reason, perhaps due to my lack of response to her constant calls, Marjorie turned against me,” he stated.

“Nevertheless, I will always value Marjorie and appreciate her service to our country.”

Trump initially opposed the bill for releasing the Epstein files but eventually signed it into law after it passed both the House and Senate with overwhelming support.

In an interview with NBC News, Trump remarked that Greene’s political future within the Republican party might face challenges.

“I would like to see her succeed,” Trump expressed, hinting at a possible reconciliation.

“She needs to take some time off,” he suggested.

When asked about the possibility of reconciling with Greene, Trump stated, “I can mend fences with anyone.”

Last week, Trump indicated his support for a potential primary challenger against Greene in the upcoming election for Georgia’s 14th District seat.

In her resignation statement, Greene asserted, “I cannot subject myself, my family, and my district to a divisive primary instigated by the President we once championed, especially when Republicans are at risk of losing in the midterms.”

She added, “I refuse to be a victim hoping for a resolution while standing up for justice for abused women.”

“Defending victims of abuse should not lead to accusations of treason and intimidation by the President of the United States, whom I supported,” Greene concluded.
