Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says President Donald Trump gave what she called an “unimaginable” response after she told him about death threats she’d received—some directed at her son.
Greene, a longtime ally who later became one of Trump’s sharper critics, made the claim Wednesday while speaking with Piers Morgan on his “Uncensored” show. She said Trump showed “no compassion” when she informed him about menacing messages that, in her telling, began escalating around her children.
“The only time I reached out to him was via text message after I had resigned and he had been attacking me and I was receiving, just, I can’t even count how many death threats,” Greene said. She also described forwarding the threats to FBI Director Kash Patel, Vice President JD Vance and other senior White House officials.
Greene said the threats “escalated on one of my children,” and that she then contacted the president again—this time, she said, because of how upset she was about death threats on her children tied to Trump’s political attacks. “I even texted the president, and I was so upset over death threats on my children because of him,” she claimed, adding that her message to Trump was meant to alert him to what was happening.
She said Trump’s reply was essentially blame-shifting. When asked what Trump said, Greene replied, “He basically blamed me,” explaining that Trump told her that if her son were to get killed, it would be her fault. Greene confirmed the account when pressed, and the exchange landed with what sounded like stunned disbelief from Morgan.
Greene said she told Trump that no child should ever be forced into the middle of political violence or threats tied to disagreements between leaders. Still, she argued, Trump “had no compassion whatsoever.” She characterized Trump’s response as “like a nail in the coffin,” saying it “tells me exactly who Donald Trump is,” and she added that even some of her political enemies wouldn’t have said something like that.
She also claimed, “Some of my biggest political enemies would never say that to me,” and noted Democrats she once disagreed with in Congress. “No one’s ever said those type of words to me,” she said. Greene ended by saying she “don’t know what kind of person basically has no compassion or care to someone’s child being threatened to be killed. It’s just, it’s unimaginable really,” which, in a way, is the phrase that’s stayed with her throughout the retelling—unimaginable, and not really meant to be a political talking point.
(One small detail from the interview atmosphere: during these kinds of cable-style sit-downs, you can almost hear the studio air shift when a guest pivots from describing events to describing motive—like the moment the conversation turned to who blamed whom.)
