Greene says – Marjorie Taylor Greene said she can no longer support the Republican Party after time spent with Thomas Massie, citing the release of Epstein files, the party’s silence amid attacks, and her own break with Trump’s agenda. She also pointed to what she described
When Marjorie Taylor Greene posted on X on May 29, it wasn’t a routine political update. She described saying goodbye to Thomas and Carolyn Massie, then made a sharper break than many expected: she said she can “no longer support” the Republican Party.
Greene wrote that the Republican Party’s “civil war” was successfully “gutting the true America Firsters. ” naming herself as one of the people caught in the backlash. She said most Americans don’t understand “the extent of what’s happening” and what it would “produce. ” framing her message around a widening rift she believes has moved beyond President Trump and into the party itself.
The break comes after Greene publicly split from Trump and his administration last fall over how the Epstein files were handled. She said Trump referred to her as “Marjorie Traitor Greene,” and that she faced threats to herself and her family after that.
Greene’s distancing from the party is tied to what she described as a sudden reversal from her own record. She said she voted with the president “98% of the time. ” and that her conservative legislative actions—including the House passing her articles of impeachment of Biden’s DHS Secretary and her bill making it a felony to trans children under 18—became meaningless once the Epstein files were not being released.
She also cited her work as DOGE Chair defunding waste, fraud and abuse, and she tied the shift to what she said was manipulation of “low educated Republicans,” alleging they were influenced by “bot armies” and “bought and paid for social medial influencers” spreading “absurd lies” about her.
Greene said her relationship to Massie followed the same road, even as the two traveled different paths. She wrote that together they ended up “targeted and then ostracized by the very officials they helped to elect.” In her account. Trump has rejected “America First” ideology and will “do anything possible to cut the head off of anyone who tries to fly its banner.”.
That theme—support that turns into isolation—ran through her post as she described what happened after she worked to elect Trump. She said she went from “traveling the country to get Trump elected” to being called “a traitor” while “not a single Republican (even the ones I helped get elected like JD Vance and others) … [uttered] a word of public support” for her.
For Greene, the conclusion was blunt: “abundantly clear that the Republican Party is something I can no longer support and want nothing to do with.”
“None of my policy views have changed. ” Greene said in the same post. arguing that the party—and not her positions—shifted during the president’s second term. She wrote that “everything changed about the man I supported to be president and the party I supported to gain the majority. ” describing the GOP as “under full capture and control.”.
She added that if someone refuses to be “captured and controlled” they will face retaliation, saying “their captors will set out to kill you,” while “the party sits in silence while it happens.”
Greene said the turn on Massie was “unforgivable” and that she believed the onslaught would have come for her too if she hadn’t resigned. She referenced watching what she described as Charlie Kirk being “assassinated” and said she knew they would do “probably worse” to her and her family.
She also accused campaign tactics used against Massie of misleading voters. Greene said campaign ads lied about his voting record, and she argued “naive older voters in his district were easily fooled,” helping elect a successor “with no voting record” who “refused every single debate” with Massie.
“The capture is complete,” Greene wrote. “What will you do about it?”
Greene’s political exit is already in motion. She chose not to run for reelection during the 2026 cycle and resigned at the beginning of the year, triggering a special election for her Georgia seat in the 14th congressional district.
Though Greene is no longer part of the Republican Party, the district attorney who replaced her in Georgia has aligned closely with Trump’s agenda. Rep. Clay Fuller won the special election against Democrat Shawn Harris, and Greene noted that he won by a significantly smaller margin than she had.
Greene’s account paints Fuller as an immediate continuation of the messaging coming from Washington. She wrote that Fuller parroted messaging from the White House from the moment he stepped foot in Congress and has been a strong supporter of the president. During the campaign, he called himself a “MAGA Warrior” and attributed much of his election success to Trump’s endorsement.
Fuller also describes himself as an “American First” politician, a label Greene said she used during her campaigns. He is set to face reelection in November, again against Harris.
In Greene’s view. Fuller’s next test will come from how he handles the issue of war in Iran—especially since. as she described it. he has strongly supported the president’s approach. The pressure. she said. will intensify because the president’s national support tanks will be part of the political environment around the race.
