Following a weekend that saw President Donald Trump call anti-LGBTQ+ Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) a “traitor” over her push for the release of the Epstein files, police in Georgia confirmed Monday that the congresswoman had been the subject of multiple assassination threats.

As Newsweek reports, the Rome, Georgia, Police Department said in a statement that it had received via email two “assassination threats toward MTG and her family.”

Greene had previously claimed on Sunday that Trump’s comments about her on social media were “a dog whistle to dangerous radicals that could lead to serious attacks.” She claimed that her home had already been targeted with “hoax pizza deliveries” and that the office of her construction company had received “a pipe bomb threat.”

“Now that President Trump has called me a traitor, which is absolutely untrue and horrific… This puts blood in the water and creates a feeding frenzy. And it could ultimately lead to a harmful or even deadly outcome,” Greene wrote in a November 16 X post.
