(NewsNation) — Republican Rep. Marjorie Tayor Greene of Georgia is apologizing for taking part in what she calls “toxic politics” amid a feud with President Donald Trump.
In an interview on CNN on Sunday, Greene said the feud is something that is “very bad for our country,” and said she wants to see people being kinder to one another.
“It’s been something I’ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated. I’m only responsible for myself and my own words and actions, and I’m committed—and I’ve been working on this a lot lately—to put down the knives in politics,” Greene said.
Greene, who has long been one of Trump’s strongest supporters, was one of four Republicans to sign a discharge petition to force a House vote on the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. In a post on social media platform X, she tied that to Trump pulling his endorsement from her and attacks on her character.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump called Greene “wacky Marjorie,” and accused the lawmaker of betraying the Republican Party.
“I never thought that fighting to release the Epstein files, defending women who were victims of rape, and fighting to expose the web of rich powerful elites would have caused this, but here we are. And it truly speaks for itself,” Greene wrote. “There needs to be a new way forward.”
