Marjorie Taylor Greene’s dramatic break from Trump world widened again Tuesday as the Georgia congresswoman used a friendly CNN appearance to accuse Fox News of sidelining her — while praising the very network the former president has spent years vilifying as “fake news.”
Greene, who recently announced she will resign from Congress in early 2026 after a bitter rupture with Donald Trump and GOP leadership, claimed Fox News has refused to book her since she backed a bipartisan effort to release the full Jeffrey Epstein files. That vote ignited a feud with Trump, who branded her a “traitor” and fueled what Greene says were hundreds of death threats aimed at her and her family.

“Fox News doesn’t ever invite me on,” Greene told anchors Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown. “They invited me one time recently after I resigned. We responded back to the producer and they still haven’t said when I can come on.”
Her frustration with the conservative network has been building for months. In a recent conversation with Vanity Fair, Greene alleged Fox is retaliating against her and insisted she now watches it “the least,” preferring CNN, NBC, CNBC, the BBC, and local news. Fox disputes her account, noting she last appeared on the network in June.
Tuesday’s interview continued a surprising streak of warm interactions between Greene and CNN — a shift that has turned the once far-right firebrand into an unlikely fixture on the network she used to deride. In prior appearances, Greene apologized for her “toxic” political rhetoric and reflected on the assassination of Charlie Kirk, saying it forced her to reconsider her role in perpetuating political hostility.
During Tuesday’s conversation, Blitzer and Brown asked Greene about the fallout from her feud with Trump, including his suggestion that she was responsible for threats against herself by backing the Epstein files release. Greene insisted Trump bears responsibility for escalating the country’s poisonous political climate. “He’s a leader in it,” she said. “I call it the political industrial complex… and the president, he’s a leader of that on the Republican side.”

She added she was “literally shocked” by the “unkind and accusatory” things Trump said when she told him she was receiving death threats. Asked whether critics were right that she should “stay in the fight” rather than resign, Greene grew emotional: “I’ve had over 773 death threats… and a direct death threat on my son. Should I have to become like Charlie Kirk? Is that what I have to do?”
Greene’s departure from Congress and her increasingly vocal attacks on Trump and Fox News mark an extraordinary evolution for a politician who once embodied the MAGA base’s most hardline instincts. Now, as she settles into her role as a CNN regular, her break with the right-wing media ecosystem — and with Trump himself — appears to be only deepening.
Whether Greene is forging a new political identity or simply burning bridges on her way out of Washington remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: the former MAGA firebrand is now aiming her fire at the media empire that once helped make her a star.
