WASHINGTON, DC: A viral post has stirred outrage online, alleging that Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly claimed President Donald Trump once sent her a chilling text warning that her son could be killed, blamed her as a "traitor," and suggested that revealing the messages could land her in jail.
But did she actually make such a statement? Let's fact-check the claim.

According to an X user with the handle @NoLieWithBTC, a viral post claimed that, "Marjorie Taylor Greene just revealed she has text messages from Trump that could get her "put in jail" if she releases them."
The post further alleged, "Donald Trump texted me that if my son gets killed, I deserve it because I was a traitor to him." It also stated, "I'd probably get put in jail if I released the texts. That's our president. That's the man who says MAGA is everything he wants it to be."
The post went on to gain more than 332K views and sparked widespread discussion in the comments, with users divided over its credibility.
One user commented, "So she already went out to say basically what was in the text but sharing the actual text is what she's worried about? I'd think creating doubt by merely saying it would cause bigger issues than just releasing the texts. Sounds like hogwash."

Fact Check: True, the post about MTG's claims involving Trump is true
After reviewing available information on MTG's claims involving Donald Trump, the post is considered accurate in reflecting her statements. Greene has made public remarks about text messages she says she received from Trump.
Marjorie Taylor Greene:
Donald Trump texted me that if my son gets killed, I deserve it because I was a traitor to him. I'd probably get put in jail if I released the texts. That's our president. That's the man who says MAGA is everything he wants it to be. pic.twitter.com/XwYZ2aZY7n

Following her resignation from Congress and her increasingly vocal criticism of Trump over issues such as the Jeffrey Epstein files, the Iran conflict, and other political matters, Greene stated that Trump's public criticism of her and his alleged labeling of her as a "traitor" led to death threats against her and her family.
She further claimed that when she confronted him about these threats via text, Trump responded by saying it was her fault and that she "deserve[d] it," adding, "If my son gets killed, I deserve it because I was a traitor to him."
Speaking at The Ron Paul Institute in Clute, Texas, on Saturday, May 2, Greene said she had saved the messages, noting that Trump frequently communicates directly with allies, lawmakers, and public figures via his personal phone. She also speculated, "I'd probably get put in jail if I released them publicly."
During the same speech, Greene described the threats she and her family allegedly received, stating, "'You're a traitor. You deserve to die. You're a traitor, we're going to kill you,'" and added that her youngest son was also targeted, quoting threats such as, "'But it was the one that came in, and they kept coming, [to] my son, my youngest, my baby boy: 'We're going to snuff out his life. We're going to put a bullet in his head.'"

Of course he is. And if it was even just a rumor that Biden said something so callous to a Republican whose son was getting death threats the Republicans would be screaming in outrage and claiming that proves he's unfit for office and is promoting violence against his opponents and should be impeached. Trump does it and...
...not that we needed any more examples of what massive useless hypocrites they are.
She wasn't receiving death threats until she turned away from trmp
While I would agree the number of death threats increased after her falling out with Trump I would love to see proof she didn't get any before that.
So it is accurate that she made the statement but if the statements are true is not necessarily true.
Why did she save the messages if she planned on never revealing them? Why does she believe she would go to jail if she did? What would the charges be?
In todays political climate I could see this being true. I hope the people doing this are held accountable.
They're both liars but Trump is in his own category.
I never knew there were categories of lying.
You dont think there can be a liar, but someone else be a bigger liar?
A liar is a liar. With that said, there are certainly gradations of liar, like the difference between someone who did tell one little white lie and regrets it still and a person who lies about everything all the time and just about every word out of their mouth is a lie, someone like Donald Trump. He's the kind of guy who lies for no other reason than to spice up a story. If he hit a golf ball a respectable 200 yards, when he's retelling the story, he hit it 300 yards. He also lies to avoid responsibility, and he lies to take credit from others. He is a prolific liar, which of course is very different than the old woman who lied to her friend when they asked if their grandbaby was the cutest thing ever. There is simply no valid reason to believe a single thing that comes out of Donald Trumps mouth. The only reason why someone would do such a stupid gullible thing as to believe Trump is if they had "invested", likely their head and neck, deeply in Donald. No one would want to admit that the man they're wearing as a hat is a lying sack of shit that they're having trouble taking off their heads. It's easier now for them to just double down on stupid and claim "I love this hat! This is the best choice I could have made! I love high gas prices and another feckless war in the middle east!", which of course requires being completely dishonest with oneself.
There are liars, and big liars, and big fat presidential-level liars.
suddenly, the left can’t get enough of mtg and they believe everything she says…
the new Liz Cheney.
What do you think about Trump telling her that her son deserved death threats?
Do you accept everything mtg says as the truth?
If he said it, it’s a terrible thing to say. If he said it
they are both liars, but it sounds like something trump would do to his "enemy".
