Greene Slams Trump After Pipe Bomb Threat Claim

Republican-Guardian Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene on Sunday strongly condemned President Donald Trump's attacks on her in recent weeks and hinted that his rhetoric may have been responsible for the recent pipe bomb threat and fake pizza delivery at her construction company.

Greene wrote in a post on Instagram, "President Trump's unwarranted and brutal attacks against me were a warning to dangerous extremists who could launch serious attacks on me and my family."

The congresswoman did not provide any further details about the pipe bomb threat. Her comments come after an attack on the home of an Indiana state senator on Sunday, when Trump criticized her and other Republican lawmakers for not redrawing the state's congressional map before next year's elections.

Greene warned that Trump and other conservatives are "muddying the waters and stirring up hysteria" by calling her a "traitor" to the Republican Party. "And ultimately, it could be harmful or even fatal."

When asked Sunday evening about Greene's claim that her comments threatened her life, Trump told reporters, "I don't think her life is in danger. Frankly, I don't think anyone cares about her."

The feud between Greene and Trump escalated over the weekend after the president announced his withdrawal of support for Greene on Friday via Truth Social. Greene has drawn the ire of Trump and other Republican congressional leaders after breaking with her party on several high-profile issues. Most recently, she criticized Republican congressional leaders for their approach to healthcare during the government shutdown and for their opposition to legislation ordering the Justice Department to release government files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

"It really makes you wonder what's in those files and who and what country is putting so much pressure on them?" Greene wrote on X on Saturday, and later clarified on Sunday that she doesn't believe Trump would be involved in any wrongdoing if the files were made public.

The lawmaker also said on Saturday that she's been receiving threats after Trump criticized her on social media and announced his withdrawal of support for her. Greene said private security companies are contacting her to issue warnings for her safety, "because a massive network of threats against me is being created and amplified by the most powerful man in the world."

Greene has faced similar allegations before. In 2021, then-Representative Fred Upton, Republican-Mich., received death threats after supporting a bipartisan infrastructure bill. She told The Detroit News that the threats came after Greene shared the names and phone numbers of Upton and a dozen other House Republicans who supported the bill.

Interviewing Greene on "State of the Union" on Sunday, anchor Dana Bash said that when Trump has attacked or criticized others, Greene has never spoken out against him—unless such attacks are directed at her.

"Dana, I think it's fair criticism, and I would like to humbly say I'm sorry for engaging in this toxic politics," Greene said. "It's very bad for our country. And it's something I've thought about a lot, especially since the murder of Charlie Kirk."

The U.S. Capitol Police said in a February assessment that threats against lawmakers, their families, and staff increased for the second consecutive year in 2024, from about 8,000 verbal and direct threats in 2023 to nearly 9,500 last year.

Many lawmakers expressed concerns about their safety following the murder of conservative activist Kirk in September. Meanwhile, a new NBC News poll found that more than six in 10 registered voters believe "extremist political rhetoric" played a significant role in Kirk's murder.
