Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: 'I'm Not in a Cult'

- Before her election, Greene supported executing prominent Democratic politicians, including claims that Nancy Pelosi was guilty of treason, a crime punishable by death. She also liked a Facebook post in January 2019 that advocated for "a bullet to the head" of Pelosi. - In February 2021, the House of Representatives voted to remove Greene from all her committee assignments due to her history of controversial and violent remarks. Eleven Republicans joined the Democrats in the 230-199 vote to remove her from the Budget and the Education and Labor committees. - Greene was a vocal supporter of the QAnon conspiracy theory, becoming the first open supporter to be elected to Congress. She has since tried to distance herself from the theory, stating in a speech that she disavowed it. - Her history of espoused conspiracy theories includes suggesting that the 9/11 attacks were a hoax, that mass school shootings were "false flag" operations, and that a 2018 California wildfire was started by a space laser controlled by a Jewish cabal. - In June 2023, Greene was expelled from the conservative House Freedom Caucus after a dispute with fellow caucus member Congresswoman Lauren Boebert. - A significant rift formed between Greene and Donald Trump, whom she had previously supported with a 98% voting alignment, over the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Trump reportedly called her a "traitor" for her stance. - Citing the public feud with Trump and ensuing death threats against her and her family, Greene announced in November 2025 that she would resign from Congress, effective January 5, 2026. - The "I'm not in a cult" comment was part of a social media post ahead of a Trump visit to her former district, where she criticized Republicans for being on a "struggle bus" and failing to address rising health insurance costs.
