"Well, first, that was an extremely ridiculous thing for Ted Cruz to say. I never said Jewish people. I'm not anti-Semitic. I don't hate any people group for their identity or who they are. So that was unbelievably low for a sitting U.S. senator to say. But what I'm talking about is very real. I have a tremendous amount of death threats,"
"It's documented. I have some of the highest amount of death threats as a sitting member in the House of Representatives. And when you speak about certain issues, we can watch the calls and the emails and the messages—they increase, and the threats increase. And so when I say I am seriously concerned for my life, and I say, If something ever happens to me, I really mean it."
"It's okay for me to say that. This is the time that we're living in, where we're seeing political violence, and I'm totally against it completely in every which way. But when I say something like that and to have another Republican of my own party insult me and insinuate I'm saying something I never said is absolutely unacceptable."
Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared on CNN with Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown and addressed criticism from Senator Ted Cruz after a post on X suggesting that a foreign government or powerful people may try to kill her. Greene denied targeting Jewish people or expressing antisemitism, saying she does not hate any people group for identity. Greene said she receives a tremendous, documented volume of death threats, among the highest for a House member, and that threats spike when she speaks about certain issues. Greene said she is seriously concerned for her life, opposes political violence, and called Cruz's characterization unacceptable.
