GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene commented on President Trump denouncing her as a “wacky” complainer and the role she played in coarsening political discourse, during an interview Sunday morning with CNN:

DANA BASH, CNN: You posted on X that President Trump, with his comments, is fueling a hotbed of threats against you. Obviously, any threats to your safety are completely unacceptable, but we have seen these kinds of attacks or criticism from the president against other people. It’s not new, and with respect, I haven’t heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you. REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: Dana, I think that’s fair criticism, and I would like to say humbly I’m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics. It’s very bad for our country, and it’s been something I’ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated. I’m only responsible for myself and my own words and actions, and I am going-I’m committed, and I’ve been working on this a lot lately-to put down the knives in politics. I really just want to see people be kind to one another. And we need to figure out a new path forward that is focused on the American people, because as Americans, no matter what side of the aisle we’re on, we have far more in common than we have differences. And we need to be able to respect each other with our disagreements. And we need to be able to respect each other with our disagreements. BASH: So, just to put a button on this, you regret the things that you have said and posted in the past, the Facebook post that was taken down of you in 2020 holding a gun alongside the Squad, encouraging people to go on the offense against the socialists, liking a tweet of somebody calling for the execution of Nancy Pelosi and former President Obama, just examples? GREENE: Well, Dana, as you know and many people know, I addressed that back in 2021. And, of course, I never want to cause any harm or anything bad for anyone. So that was addressed back then. And I very much stand by my words I said then. And I stand by my words today. I think America needs to come together and end all the toxic, dangerous rhetoric and divide. And I’m leading the way with my own example, and I hope that President Trump can do the same.
