Marjorie Taylor Greene calls for Trump’s removal: ‘He’s out of control’

(Gray News) — Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is calling for President Donald Trump to be removed from office.

Greene joins dozens of Democrats who came out to say that Trump should no longer serve in the White House, either through the impeachment process or the 25th Amendment, which allows the vice president and the Cabinet to declare that a president is no longer able to perform the job.

In a recent interview with CNN, Greene took issue with several of Trump’s recent statements. She focused on the threat he made Tuesday on Truth Social when he posted, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”

While Trump eventually pulled back on his threat and agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran, the episode highlighted the growing demands for Trump’s removal.

“It’s absolute madness,” Greene said. “How can any person that is mentally stable call for an entire civilization of people to be murdered, to be wiped out, to never come back again? That’s what the president called for, and that shows that there’s serious instability in his thinking that he would not only say that in a private room, perhaps with his advisers, but actually go to his megaphone, his Truth Social, and post that for the entire country and the entire world.”

Greene added, “I know that it’s a very difficult, hard stretch to see it actually coming through, but the conversation needs to be had, and he’s out of control, and people within the administration need to step up, take responsibility, and rein this in.”

Greene, a former staunch supporter of Trump, said she supported the policies he ran his presidential campaign on. But Greene said those policies have changed.

“I’ve always been a supporter of President Trump for the policies. That’s what I cared about. But once he became president, he changed his policies. What we campaigned on was no more foreign wars, and President Trump said he was going to be the peace president. Well, he’s gone from being the peace president to the war president,” Greene said.

Greene also said that Trump’s handling of the Epstein files played a large role in her decision to end her support for him.

“The president lost my support when he covered up the Epstein files and called me a traitor … because I supported women that were raped at 16 and 18 years old or 14 years old even, and I don’t support the president in going to war in Iran.”
