Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene responded to President Donald Trump Tuesday at a news conference outside the U.S. Capitol alongside female victims of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“I was called a traitor by a man I fought for for five, no, actually, six years, and I gave him my loyalty for free,” Greene said, referencing a social media post by Trump over the weekend in which he called her “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Greene.”
“I won my first election without his endorsement, beating eight men in a primary, and I never owed him anything, but I fought for him, for policies, and for America first, and he called me a traitor for supporting these women and refusing to remove my name from the recall petition.”

“Let me tell you what a traitor is. A traitor is an American who serves foreign countries and himself. A patriot is an American who serves the United States of America and Americans like the women who now stand behind me,” Greene continued.
Trump withdrew his support for Greene over the weekend after she criticized him and his administration for their handling of the Epstein investigation, along with other matters.
