Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Trump Told Her If Her Son Got Killed, It Would Be Her Fault
The big picture: In an interview with Piers Morgan, Marjorie Taylor Greene said she’s received nearly 773 death threats since her falling out with Trump — including direct threats on her youngest son and pipe bomb threats on her home and family business. She says when she texted Trump about it, he blamed her, showing “no compassion whatsoever.”
Why it matters: This isn’t just a feud between two former allies. It’s a window into how far Trump is willing to go against anyone who breaks from him — and a reminder that his rhetoric has consistently produced real-world violence against the people he targets.
What Greene says happened
Greene told Piers Morgan that after Trump repeatedly called her a “traitor” for pushing to release the Epstein files — something Trump himself campaigned on — the death threats against her escalated to include her son. She texted Trump to let him know. His response, per Greene: he blamed her. She said she told him no one’s children should ever be the victims of political violence. She says he had no compassion.
The scale of the threats
In a previous interview, Greene described pipe bomb threats against her home AND her family’s construction business, along with direct threats against her youngest child. She says she’s formally reported nearly 773 death threats. That’s not a rhetorical number — that’s a legal record.
The pattern
Trump incited the January 6th insurrection AND pardoned those convicted for participating in it. He has openly threatened Democratic lawmakers and encouraged supporters to do the same. Greene is one of many figures he’s targeted who have subsequently received death threats. Election workers threatened over his 2020 lies have been documented extensively. His supporters have repeatedly demonstrated they treat his words as a call to action.
Why this matters heading into midterms
Trump is ramping his rhetoric back up. And the pattern holds: targets of his anger become targets of his base. The consequences aren’t abstract — they’re pipe bomb threats, hammer attacks, assassination attempts, and election workers driven out of their jobs.
By the numbers
773 — official death threats Greene says she has reported
2 — pipe bomb threats (home and family business)
1 — alleged text from Trump blaming Greene if her son were killed
The bottom line
You don’t have to like Marjorie Taylor Greene to find what she’s describing alarming. Threats against a politician’s children are not a partisan issue. And a president who, by her account, has no compassion for those threats — and who is willing to say they’d be her fault — is telling the country exactly what his political opponents, including former allies, can expect.
