Marjorie Taylor Greene Takes a Swing at GOP Leadership, Blasts Anyone Trying to ‘Prevent’ Epstein List ‘From Coming Out’
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) joined CNN’s Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown for a lengthy interview on Thursday that covered everything from the government shutdown, to some of Greene’s more controversial statements of late, to the House vote on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files.
As the conversation wound down, Brown asked Greene about Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) recently slamming her for dabbling in what many viewed as anti-Semitism.
“So you recently suggested on X that a quote, ‘foreign government or powerful people may try to kill you.’ Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas shared that post of yours on X, writing, quote, ‘Why do crazy people keep thinking the Jews are trying to kill them?’ What do you say to Cruz, and what did you mean by that?” Brown asked.
“Well, first, that was an extremely ridiculous thing for Ted Cruz to say. I never said Jewish people. I’m not anti-Semitic. I don’t hate any people group for their identity or who they are. So that was unbelievably low for a sitting U.S. senator to say that. But what I’m talking about is very real. I have a tremendous amount of death threats,” Greene replied, adding:
It’s documented. I have some of the highest amount of death threats as a sitting member in the House of Representatives. And when you speak about certain issues, we can watch the calls and the emails and the messages—they increase, and the threats increase.
And so when I say I am seriously concerned for my life, and I say, “If something ever happens to me,” I really mean it. It’s okay for me to say that. This is the time that we’re living in, where we’re seeing political violence, and I’m totally against it completely in every which way. But when I say something like that and to have another Republican of my own party insult me and insinuate I’m saying something I never said is absolutely unacceptable.
