In a televised interview on CBS News' "60 Minutes," Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, expressed her discontent with former President Donald Trump, whom she previously supported. Greene accused Trump of inciting death threats against her and her son and criticized him for not adhering to his campaign promises focused on improving the lives of Americans. She stated, "For an 'America First' president, the No. 1 focus should have been domestic policy, and it wasn’t."

Greene identified herself as "America First" rather than using Trump's slogan "Make America Great Again," indicating a distinction between her political stance and Trump's policies. Other Republican figures have also voiced concerns regarding the party's response to issues affecting American affordability. In contrast, Trump has highlighted lower gas prices and issued an executive order to investigate anti-competitive practices impacting food supply chains.

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson defended Trump, asserting that he has fulfilled many of his campaign promises, including border security and addressing inflation. Greene's interview followed her announcement of her resignation from office, which is set to take place a year before her term concludes. This decision came after she diverged from Trump and other party leaders by signing a bipartisan petition that led to the release of government files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump responded to Greene's criticisms by labeling her as "Marjorie Traitor Greene" and dismissed her concerns about death threats, stating, "I don’t think her life is in danger."

During the interview, Greene recounted a conversation with Trump regarding her support for the Epstein files' release, describing his reaction as angry and unsympathetic. Despite pressure from Trump, Greene and three other House Republicans succeeded in bringing the Epstein bill to a vote, which passed with overwhelming support.

Greene reported receiving numerous death threats following her break with Trump, sharing that she had communicated these threats to both Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel, with Patel responding positively. Greene denied any intentions to run for president in 2028, emphasizing her lack of desire for higher office and expressing frustration over skepticism regarding her statements.
