Daughter Enters Political Fray as Trump-Greene Rift Deepens
The ongoing political conflict between Donald Trump and Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has taken a personal turn as Greene's 27-year-old daughter has publicly entered the fray to defend her mother.
Lauren Greene Sanders, who bears a striking resemblance to her mother, has become an unexpected voice in the increasingly public dispute that has rocked conservative circles.
Online Defence Against "Fake MAGA" Critics
The young social media personality, who boasts a combined following of 48,000 across Instagram and X, didn't hesitate to confront critics attacking her mother online. When one user referred to Greene as "Marjorie Traitor Greene," Sanders immediately fired back with a passionate defence.
"Funny how you have MAGA in your bio and MAGA means 'Make America Great Again,' yet here you are calling her a traitor," Sanders wrote on the platform formerly known as Twitter.
She continued: "She [is] one of the real one[s] who are actually trying to make America great again by unapologetically fighting for us, the American citizens, by being America First."
Sanders urged Trump supporters to set aside their egos and stop fighting among themselves, while pointedly suggesting that critics might be "fake MAGA" supporters.
Denying Claims of Liberal Shift
The public defence comes after Trump dramatically announced he was "unendorsing" Greene, claiming she had "gone Far Left" and become "a ranting lunatic." This extraordinary move followed Greene's efforts to unseal documents that some believe could connect Trump to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes.
Sanders strongly denied Trump's assertion that her mother is becoming more liberal, particularly following Greene's appearance on The View. "Let me be clear - Marjorie Taylor Greene is not becoming a Democrat. Never has been. Never will be," she declared on Instagram.
Instead, Sanders portrayed her mother as "a bigger problem for the Left - and for the weak, woke 'Right'" and praised her for choosing "courage over comfort, every single time."
Growing Political Tensions
The family drama unfolds against a backdrop of significant policy disagreements between Greene and Trump. The congresswoman has notably broken with the former president on several issues including healthcare, tariffs, and the administration's failure to release Epstein-related documents.
During a recent appearance on CNN's State of the Union, Greene even criticised Trump for welcoming Syrian president Ahmed al-Sharaa to the White House. She described the move as "very hurtful to the great men and women who served over in the Middle East" given al-Sharaa's former ties to al-Qaeda.
Despite maintaining that the Epstein documents wouldn't damage Trump, Greene has positioned herself as an advocate for victims, stating: "I stand with these women. I stand with rape victims, I stand with children who are in terrible sex abuse situations."
Personal Relationships Under Scrutiny
The political controversy has spilled over into Greene's personal life, with her boyfriend Brian Glenn, chief White House correspondent for pro-Trump outlet Real America's Voice, facing backlash for publicly declaring his love for her.
Trump loyalist Laura Loomer demanded Glenn lose his press pass after he shared a photo with Greene and wrote "I love this woman." The ensuing social media exchange turned ugly, with Glenn responding "Shut up b***h" and Loomer making unspecified references to infidelity.
Meanwhile, Sanders has used her platform to ask for prayers for her mother's safety after Greene claimed to be receiving death threats. The 27-year-old, who only announced her public social media presence in March, appears to be embracing her role as both daughter and defender in one of American politics' most dramatic public rifts.
