Far-right activist Laura Loomer slammed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) for supporting an effort to force the Justice Department to release files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, calling her a “traitor” to President Trump and his MAGA base.
Greene joined a press conference outside the Capitol with Epstein’s accusers Wednesday as they offered emotional testimony about their experiences and hammered the government for keeping the files under wraps.
Their message was not targeted at the president, according to one accuser, but at least one person in the crowd held up a sign that referenced Trump as the 47th president.
Loomer took a screenshot of Greene standing in front of the sign and vowed to show the photo to the president in an effort to expose Greene as a “phony fraud.”
“Why did @RepMTG attend an anti-Trump press conference today and stand in front of signs that called President Trump a pedophile? The sign says ‘Release the Epstein Files #Pedo47,’” Loomer wrote in a post on the social platform X. “I am showing this photo to President Trump.”
“It’s time for Marjorie Traitor Greene to be kicked out of MAGA for being the phony fraud she’s always been,” she added.
Loomer suggested Greene is retaliating against Trump for not picking her as vice president or supporting a hypothetical bid for governor or senator.
“So now she’s trying to take him down. This is why I call her Marjorie Traitor Greene,” the key Trump ally said. “She is truly despicable. If you work for Trump and you’re calling @RepThomasMassie and @RoKhanna out but you’re not calling @mtgreenee out, you’re disloyal to President Trump.”
Greene — one of the four members of the House GOP conference who signed on to the discharge petition spearheaded by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) — has defended her push for transparency as an issue that is “not about politics” but about seeking justice for the victims.
“There’s become two Americas. There’s the America for the rich and the powerful and the elite — where they never face any struggles or problems and never experience what real America goes through,” Greene said at the press conference Wednesday. “And then there’s forgotten America that faces all the problems and deals with all the issues and never gets justice for being sexually assaulted and raped by a monster.”
“So this isn’t one political party or the other,” the Georgia Republican added. “It’s a culmination of everyone [who] worked together to silence these women and protect Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal.”
Greene noted in an interview on Real America’s Voice “Bolling!” on Wednesday that she “got a lot of pushback” from the White House trying to pressure her not to sign the discharge petition. But she said she doesn’t blame Trump for the pressure — only those who work for him— and said she urged the president to host victims at the White House.
“I want him to be the hero and champion of this issue,” Greene said in the interview. “And I want him to fight for these women, because I know him to be a fighter.”
The duo has feuded in the past, including ahead of the 2024 election, when Greene repudiated Loomer over what the GOP lawmaker characterized as “appalling and extremely racist” comments mocking former Vice President Kamala Harris’s Indian heritage.
Loomer, in turn, called Greene a “raging antisemite” and dismissed her own remarks merely as a “funny joke about Kamala Harris.”
The far-right activist, in a subsequent social media post Wednesday, said she has long called Greene a “Trump hater” and felt “vindicated” after the press conference that day.
“I’ve had to deal with this nasty b‑‑‑‑ lying about me and pretending to be pro-Trump for years while I have been warning everyone MTG is & always has been a Trump hater,” Loomer wrote on X. “I told you!”
Greene’s office did not respond to an immediate request for comment.
