Fake Pizza Deliveries, Bomb Threat Plague GA GOP Lawmaker Challenging Trump

ATLANTA, GA — A split in the Republican Party lingers as two of its own members are at odds, with U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene saying she has been the target of a bomb threat and false pizza deliveries after severing ties with President Donald Trump.

Greene, a longterm Trump supporter representing Georgia's 14th congressional district, says she is being called a traitor after declining to further back the president. She, however, did say she would continue supporting his administration.

In recent weeks, Greene has escalated her criticism of Trump's focus on foreign policy over what she has said should be an agenda that concentrates on Americans, as well as his reluctance to release more documents involving the Jeffrey Epstein case.

"I stood with President Trump when almost no one else would," Greene tweeted Sunday. "I campaigned for him all over this country and spent millions of my own dollars helping him get elected. That’s why being called a 'traitor' isn’t just hurtful, it puts a target on my back and puts my life in danger. And it only divides our country even more. But even through this, I still support the Trump administration and want to see it succeed for the American people. I believe in transparency. That’s why I’ve pushed to release the Epstein files. Survivors deserve the truth, and I won’t apologize for standing with them."

On Friday, Trump said he would support a primary challenge against the Georgia congresswoman.

“All I see ‘Wacky’ Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!” Trump wrote on his social media platform as his motorcade whisked him from Air Force One to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

On Saturday, Trump tested out a new nickname for her, calling her “Marjorie Taylor Brown” because “Green grass turns Brown when it begins to ROT!”

Trump has successfully stamped out other challenges to his power over the years, but Greene is not backing down. She even suggested that she, not Trump, may be the true champion of the “America First” agenda.

“I believe in the American people more than I believe in any leader or political party and the American people deserve so much better than how they have been treated by both sides of the aisle,” she wrote in her own post Saturday.

She also said she is worried about her safety because “threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world.”

Greene on Sunday said pizzas have been falsely delivered to her home, as well as the home of family members. Additionally, a pipe bomb threat was received at her construction company.

"President Trump’s unwarranted and vicious attacks against me were a dog whistle to dangerous radicals that could lead to serious attacks on me and my family," she tweeted. "Unfortunately, I’ve been down this road before. As a matter of fact, as I campaigned all over the country and defended President Trump, I received dozens of swatting calls on my house and my family members homes along with these hoax pizza deliveries, but even more severely I have received some of the most death threats of any Member of Congress that led to multiple men being convicted and serving time in prison. And all of that came from the left."

She continued: "... This puts blood in the water and creates a feeding frenzy. And it could ultimately lead to a harmful or even deadly outcome. Also, the timing of this just happens to be days before we take the vote on releasing the Epstein files. I love America and the American people, and I swore an oath to uphold the constitution and always do so. I am not a traitor. However, when the President of the United States irresponsibly calls a Member of Congress of his own party, traitor, he is signaling what must be done to a traitor."

Greene started her congressional tenure as Trump was leaving the White House, and she supported the election lies that fueled the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

She became a media fixture as a target of liberal scorn and a promoter of Trump-style conservatism, and was a loyal lieutenant in his comeback campaign in 2024.

But tension seemed to begin earlier this year when Greene was exploring a potential 2026 campaign against Jon Ossoff, one of Georgia's two Democratic senators.

Trump said he sent Greene a poll showing that she “didn't have a chance." She ultimately passed on the race and later declined to run for Georgia governor while attacking a political “good ole boy” system that she accused of endangering Republican control of the state.

In a series of weekend tweets, Greene said she can rightfully disagree with Trump during her support of his administration. Believing in forgiveness, she said she would be willing to move forward with him.
