President Trump late Friday announced he is pulling his endorsement and support of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and would support a primary challenge against her — a major escalation of their growing beef after months of the House Republican criticizing fellow GOP members and the commander in chief himself.
“I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding that despite his record, “all I see ‘Wacky’ Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!”\
Trump in the post called Greene a “ranting lunatic” and that she has “gone Far Left.”
The un-endorsement came days after a discharge petition to force a vote on a bill directing the Department of Justice to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein got enough signatures to succeed. Greene was one of four Republicans to sign on, in spite of fierce objections of Trump.
Greene’s split from the president she had once adamantly supported started months earlier, after Trump discouraged Greene earlier this year from running for statewide office in Georgia, which Trump confirmed in the post.
