Former Trump loyalist Marjorie Taylor Greene delivered a blistering put down to the embattled FBI Director Kash Patel during a speech in Texas.
Greene, who broke with the president last year over the Epstein files, took a swipe at Patel while speaking at the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity.
The former representative delivered the jab, which drew a wave of laughter from the crowd, as she opened up about receiving a deluge of death threats amid her feud with Trump.
“I did hear from Kash Patel,” she said, claiming that she had reported the death threats to him. “He said ‘on it,’ but I haven’t heard from him since.
After pausing and breaking out into a smile, Greene quipped: “I don’t know what he’s on.”
The crowd erupted into laughter and applause, as she silently nodded and smiled during the April 25 appearance.
Greene said that many of the death threats she received had referred to her as a “traitor,” as Trump had during a rally. One message, she claims, contained a threat to “put a bullet” in her son’s head.
Neither White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles nor White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair responded when she forwarded the threats to them, Greene claims.
However, Vice President JD Vance was “compassionate and kind,” she said.
“Donald Trump proceeded to tell me that it was my fault and that I deserve it,” Greene alleged.
The former representative gave the speech shortly after Patel filed a $250 million defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic.
The publication had reported that his FBI colleagues had become alarmed by alleged absences and drinking. His lawsuit described the article as being “replete with false and obviously fabricated allegations,” although The Atlantic told The Independent that it stands by its reporting.
Last month it was reported that White House officials have been “openly discussing” who will replace Patel.
Patel was also skewered by SNL in a skit over the weekend, which poked fun at his performance as FBI director.
“What up? It's K Dot, AKA Kash with the K, AKA the most effective FBI director this country has ever had, Kash Patel!” Aziz Ansari, who was portraying Patel, said.
Still in character, Ansari went on to claim that the FBI had conducted an investigation into the shooting at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. He joked that the investigation “could not have been more thorough.”
“And for those of you saying I'm doing a bad job running the FBI, well, what if I told you this agency is only six weeks away from pinpointing the exact location of Osama bin Laden?” he quipped.
