Trump Blasts Greene After ‘60 Minutes’ Broadside, Escalating GOP Rift

The president’s Monday Truth Social barrage escalates a rift she opened on 60 Minutes by alleging his attacks fueled threats.

Overview

  • Trump on Monday denounced Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Truth Social, calling her a "traitor" and a "very dumb person" while also attacking 60 Minutes and its parent company.
  • In the interview, Greene said Trump’s "traitor" label preceded a pipe bomb threat at her home and direct death threats to her son, which she reported to the White House and that an official said were referred to the FBI.
  • Greene claimed many House Republicans once mocked Trump privately but now hesitate to oppose him because they fear being targeted by his Truth Social posts.
  • She tied the break to her push to force release of Jeffrey Epstein–related records; the House and Senate passed the measure with near‑unanimous support and Trump signed it after telling her the disclosures would "hurt people."
  • Greene remains set to resign Jan. 5, 2026, described herself as "America First" rather than MAGA, criticized Trump’s domestic priorities, and sparred with Lesley Stahl over toxic political rhetoric.
