Marjorie Taylor Greene receives death threats after Donald Trump says her life is not in danger
Police have confirmed that former Donald Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene received death threats they are investigating after the US president he didn't 'think her life is in danger'.
Greene is a Republican politician who is probably going to be most known on the Eastern side of the Atlantic Ocean for telling British reporter Martha Kelner to 'go back to your own country', and for telling Emily Maitlis to 'f**k off' when asked about the conspiracy theories she spread.
However, something she's said, which is very much not a conspiracy theory, was that death threats had been made against her, and according to Newsweek, the police have said they'd seen the threats.
The Rome Police Department in Georgia said they'd seen two 'email assassination threats toward MTG and her family' which they were now investigating.

The police investigation comes as Donald Trump nicknamed her 'Marjorie Traitor Greene' and said: "I don't think her life is in danger. Frankly, I don’t think anybody cares about her."
A former major supporter of Trump's MAGA movement, Greene had a falling out with Trump over the lack of release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
She is one of several Republicans to support a Democrat action to force the US government to make the rest of the files public, a move which Trump has only just come round to supporting.
Trump, who was formerly a friend and associate of the convicted sex offender Epstein, has always denied knowledge of his crimes and insisted he broke off the friendship a long time ago.
Among the newly released emails from the Epstein files are claims that Trump 'knew about the girls' in an alleged email written by Epstein, who died in 2019, to his partner Ghislaine Maxwell.
The former Trump ally also said that a 'pipe bomb threat' had been made against her office, while police said that an unordered pizza was delivered to Greene's home yesterday (16 November), which could be a message that someone knows her address.
Greene criticised Trump's attacks against her on social media and highlighted the danger her family was now in.
She wrote: "President Trump’s unwarranted and vicious attacks against me were a dog whistle to dangerous radicals that could lead to serious attacks on me and my family.
"Now that President Trump has called me a traitor, which is absolutely untrue and horrific. This puts blood in the water and creates a feeding frenzy.
"And it could ultimately lead to a harmful or even deadly outcome. Also, the timing of this just happens to be days before we take the vote on releasing the Epstein files."
