Hi everyone,
President Trump has vowed to primary Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Greene has been a staunch supporter of Trump but now, as the two have come to virtual blows over Epstein and the fate of MAGA, Greene took a spin on CNN to complain.
Trump called MTG a "traitor," and she said this was the most hurtful thing of all because it has increased the death threats against her. When asked by Dana Bash what the beef was between the two, MTG said it all came down to Epstein, that notorious sex trafficker who died in prison in New York City while awaiting trial.
MTG said she "stands with" the Epstein victims, survivors of sex trafficking, and others along that vein. "I believe the country deserves transparency in these files. And I don't that believe rich, powerful people should be protected if they have done anything wrong. And so I'm standing with the women and I will continue to do my small part to get the files released," she said.
When asked if she's suggesting that Trump is in some way culpable in the Epstein mess, MTG said "Well I think that's the part that has so many people confused. The women themselves that I've talked to have said Donald Trump did nothing wrong. Some even told me they voted for him and those are the women I would like to see in the Oval Office with support." Her question, and Bash's, is "why fight the release so hard."
But here's the question: are there any files? The DOJ has released a bunch of stuff, Democrats never cared about Epstein prior to MAGA freaking out about it. And now the Dems are whipping up a frenzy about it. In the meantime, it was revealed just last week that Virgin Island Delegate Stacey Plaskett was literally texting with Epstein during the impeachment hearings against Trump in 2019. He was a tool of the Democrats long before he was a cudgel for them.
But it's not just Epstein, Greene is angry that Trump hosted the new, terrorist-style president of Syria at the White House. She doesn't like Trump's new stance on H1-B visas and the importation of Chinese and foreign students—and she's right about that stuff.
One thing is clear, however, while the Republicans rip themselves apart, Democrats continue to coalesce like a viscous slime that is impossible to get off surfaces and definitely doesn't separate.
