Marjorie Taylor Greene rails against ‘insane’ Trump after Easter Iran threat

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Sunday slammed President Trump’s message to Iran earlier in the day, saying he is “insane” and “not a Christian.”

Early Sunday morning, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.”

“There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F—in’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”

Less than two hours later, Greene posted a screenshot of his post to the social platform X and wrote, “On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted.”

“Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness,” she continued. “I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit.”

Trump has threatened the Iranian government against continuing to restrict shipping through the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing U.S. and Israeli strikes on the Middle Eastern country. On Saturday morning, he wrote on Truth Social that Iran had 48 hours to open the passageway “before all Hell will reign down on them.”

Iran’s restrictions on shipping in the strait, through which roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil passes, have led to global energy prices rising — including at the gas pump in the U.S. 

But Greene wrote Sunday that the strait is closed because the U.S. and Israel launched an “unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop” a nuclear weapon. 

“You know who has nuclear weapons? Israel,” she added. “They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it.”

Greene has frequently criticized Trump and the Israeli government since the conflict began on Feb. 28, and she has specifically accused the president of betraying his MAGA base by starting another U.S. war in the Middle East. 

That followed Greene’s falling-out with Trump last year, which stemmed from her breaking with the president on his authorization of strikes on Iran and his handling of files regarding the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, among other issues. That led Trump to renounce his support of Greene in November, which spurred the Georgia firebrand to depart Congress in January.

On Sunday, she said Trump’s latest rhetoric “hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing.” She also reminded Christians that Jesus says, “Love one another and forgive one another,” including their enemies. 

“Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians,” she said. “Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace. Not escalating war that is hurting people.”

“This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most. This is not making America great again, this is evil.”
