The eldest daughter of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is speaking out amid the fallout from her mother’s headlines with President Donald Trump and her subsequent resignation from Congress.

On Friday, Lauren Greene Sanders said she will “always be so proud” of Greene as she shared video of her mother announcing her plan to step down from office in January.

“A one-of-a-kind congresswoman,” Greene Sanders wrote in X. “110% America First, Americans Only.”

A day later, Greene Sanders brushed aside speculation that Greene’s resignation was motivated, at least in part, by a desire to run for president in 2028.

“This is a lie,” he wrote on X in response to a Time article that cited sources close to the Georgia lawmaker suggesting he had set his sights on the White House.

On Sunday, Greene herself also reacted to Time’s reporting with similar sentiments.

“That’s not journalism, it’s called lying,” he wrote in a lengthy post on X along with a screenshot of the article. “I’m not running for president and I never said I wanted to and I just laughed when someone mentioned it.”

Greene rose to national prominence in 2020 as an outspoken supporter of Trump and his Make America Great Again movement. In recent weeks, however, he has surprised his constituents by breaking with the president over his handling of this year’s government shutdown, which ended Nov. 12 after 43 days, and his reluctance to release classified documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In her resignation statement, Greene alluded to the battle over Epstein’s files and also criticized several Republican lawmakers, including House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana.

“Standing up for American women who were raped at age 14, trafficked and used by rich and powerful men should not result in the President of the United States, for whom I fought, calling me a traitor and threatening me,” she wrote.

Elsewhere in her statement, Greene claimed that many establishment Republicans embraced by the Trump administration since his re-election in 2024 “secretly hate him.”

Not surprisingly, Trump publicly withdrew his support for Greene after she began publicly criticizing him and responded to her resignation by once again calling her a “traitor.”

Although Greene’s feud with the president and disillusionment with MAGA have earned her praise from some Democrats, Greene has denied that she has “suddenly changed.”

“I’m doubling down because of how much I love this country and its people,” she told Vanity Fair this month. “I’m radically doubling down, to the point where it doesn’t matter who I disagree with. I disagree with my own side.”
