Amid rising calls for her expulsion from Congress, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia said Saturday she had spoken with former President Donald Trump and added she’ll “never apologize” for the controversial actions and recently resurfaced comments, which as she faces backlash over.

In a series of tweets, the Republican said on Saturday morning, “I had a GREAT call with my all time favorite POTUS, President Trump! I’m so grateful for his support.

“The blood thirsty media and the socialists hate America Democrats are attacking me now just like they always attack President Trump.”

Thanking Trump for his support, Greene said “so grateful for (Trump’s) support and more importantly the people of this country are absolutely 100% loyal to him because he is 100% loyal to the people and America First.”

As Greene rose through the GOP ranks, Trump hailed her as a “future Republican Star.” Although some Republicans have condemned Greene’s comments, but GOP House leaders welcomed her into their ranks when she entered Congress and have so far declined to discipline her. She has been a staunch supporter of Trump and the policies he pushed while in office.

The 46-year-old Congresswoman had repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians in 2018 and 2019 before being elected to Congress.

However, that’s not the end. She has a track record of provocative rhetoric, including past comments using Islamophobic, anti-Semitic and racist tropes, as well as embracing baseless and thoroughly debunked QAnon and other far-right conspiracy theories, CNN reported.

Earlier this month, Twitter blocked her from tweeting for 12 hours after she joined hands with the former president to baselessly claim that the November 3 elections in Georgia had been “stolen” in a tweet. The micro-blogging site cited “risk of violence” as the primary reason.  

Even as House Democrats increasingly call for Green to be booted from Congress, she, on Saturday, denied to apologize for her comments and in one of her tweets declared: “I won’t back down. I’ll never apologize. And I’ll always keep fighting for the people.”

Although it’s unclear where Greene’s purported conversation with Trump took place, it comes at a tumultuous time for the Republican Party, as GOP leaders are divided over the former President’s role in inciting the Capitol riots that ultimately led to his second impeachment. The leaders also try to navigate a path towards Trump’s future involvement with the party.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has announced he will talk with Greene next week, but it’s unlikely that she will face any repercussions.
