Trump said 6 words at a memorial that made Marjorie Taylor Greene question his faith, and she’s not holding back

Marjorie Taylor Greene says President Donald Trump’s words at Charlie Kirk’s memorial showed he lacks religious faith. The Georgia Representative shared her thoughts in a text message that was recently made public by The New York Times.

According to HuffPost, Greene sent the message to reporter Robert Draper. “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,” she wrote. 

Trump spoke at Kirk’s memorial service in September. After Erika Kirk told the crowd she forgave the person who killed her husband, Trump went in a different direction. He said Kirk didn’t hate his opponents and wanted the best for them, but Trump disagreed with that approach.

Trump’s controversial words at the memorial divided his supporters

Trump openly stated at the memorial that he hates his opponents and doesn’t want the best for them. “He did not hate his opponents; he wanted the best for them,” Trump said about 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 and Trump have been in a public fight for several months now. She used to be one of his strongest supporters. Their relationship completely broke down in November when Trump pulled his support from Greene and called her a “ranting lunatic.”

That same month, Greene announced she would resign from Congress on January 5, 2026. The falling out between them has been linked to Greene’s push to release files about Jeffrey Epstein. The controversial Epstein files remain heavily redacted, despite her efforts to make them public. She said she won’t apologize for wanting those documents made public.

The White House hit back at Greene’s comments through spokesperson Davis Ingle. He told People magazine that Trump leads the MAGA movement, which he called the fastest growing political movement in American history. Ingle criticized Greene for quitting on her voters in the middle of her term.

Greene has said the Republican Party learned from Trump to never apologize or admit being wrong. She explained in December that as a Christian, she doesn’t believe in constantly attacking enemies. 

Trump has recently emphasized his defense of Christian communities globally, though Greene questions the sincerity of his faith. Greene said she agrees with Erika Kirk, who showed incredible strength by publicly forgiving her husband’s killer.
