Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) told a reporter that something President Donald Trump said at Charlie Kirk’s memorial was a telling sign that he “does not have any faith.”
In a new article, The New York Times’ Robert Draper detailed the Georgia lawmaker’s severed ties to Trump and made public a text message that Greene sent him condemning Trump’s eulogy for the slain right-wing activist.

“That was absolutely the worst statement … It just shows where his heart is. And that’s the difference, with [Erika Kirk] having a sincere Christian faith, and proves that he does not have any faith,” Greene wrote in her message, Draper reported.
Speaking at Kirk’s memorial in September, Trump trashed his opponents after Erika Kirk told the crowd that she forgave her husband’s killer.
“He did not hate his opponents; he wanted the best for them,” Trump said of Kirk. “That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent, and I don’t want the best for them. I’m sorry. I am sorry, Erika.”

Greene, a once-staunch Trump loyalist, has been embroiled in an ongoing, public feud with the president for months.
The GOP rep’s now-soured relationship with Trump and his MAGA supporters came to a head in November when Trump announced that he was withdrawing his support for Greene, whom he referred to as a “ranting lunatic.”
That same month, Greene announced that she would be resigning from Congress on Jan. 5, 2026.

In response to Greene’s remarks in Monday’s Times piece, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle slammed the lawmaker in a statement to People.
“President Trump remains the undisputed leader of the greatest and fastest growing political movement in American history — the MAGA movement,” he told the outlet.
Ingle added, “On the other hand, Congresswoman Greene is quitting on her constituents in the middle of her term and abandoning the consequential fight we’re in — we don’t have time for her petty bitterness.”

Elsewhere, the Times noted that Greene had argued in early December in her Capitol Hill office that the GOP “has been trained by Donald Trump to never apologize and to never admit when you’re wrong.”
“You just keep pummeling your enemies, no matter what. And as a Christian, I don’t believe in doing that,” she added at the time. “I agree with Erika Kirk, who did the hardest thing possible and said it out loud.”
Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union” last month, Greene said her push to get the Trump administration to release files related to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein led to her break with Trump.

“And I will not apologize for that. I believe the country deserves transparency and these files,” she added. “And I don’t believe that rich, powerful people should be protected if they have done anything wrong.”
