Former U.S. representative Marjorie Taylor Greene blasted President Donald Trump for issuing more threats against Iran, in what she called an “evil” social media post on Easter Sunday.
“On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted,” she began in an X post alongside a screenshot of Trump’s scathing Truth Social Post. “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.”
Greene, a once staunch Trump ally, said the president has “gone insane” and all of his supporters are “complicit.”
Noting that she’s “not defending Iran,” she continued, “But let’s be honest about all of this. The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the 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.”
The ousted MAGA outlier then accused Israel of having nuclear weapons.
“You know who has nuclear weapons? Israel. 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. Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing.”
Greene went on to decry that on Easter “of all days” Christians should remember that “Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another — even our enemies.”
Slamming Trump as a fake Christian, she stressed that “his words and actions should not be supported by Christians,” and Christians in the Trump administration “should be pursuing peace” and “urging the President to make peace.”
“Not escalating war that is hurting people,” she added. “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.”
MTG’s post came after Trump posted an expletive-laden message on Sunday telling Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz or “you’ll be living in Hell.”
“JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah,” the president added in the post.
On Saturday, Trump made more threats against Iran on Truth Social while reminding the Middle Eastern country of the April 6 deadline he set for them to open the strait.
“Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT,” he wrote. “Time is running out — 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them.”
Trump’s former campaign manager Bill Stepien defended the president’s Easter post while appearing Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“This is the first war fought in this age of social media with this president. I think he does things very differently. I think he does things in his own way — different than Biden, different than Obama. And I think we were seeing this playing out this morning,” he said of Trump.
