MODERATORS
 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said that her defense of survivors of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and threat to disclose the identities of some of the men who abused them broke her relationship with President Donald Trump, who said his “friends will get hurt” if she went through with it.

Greene’s claim came in remarks from two long interviews published Monday in the New York Times Magazine. After a closed-door meeting with Epstein victims in September and a subsequent news conference where she made the threat to share the names of some of the men, Greene said Trump rebuked her.

Greene told the Times that the last conversation she had with Trump was when she requested that he invite some of the survivors to the Oval Office. Trump, she recounted, replied that they did not deserve the opportunity.

As Mother Jones’ Julianne McShane reported, the congresswoman has still made attempts to reconcile with Trump. And as the Times pointed out, Greene admitted that she only spoke out against Trump when his attacks targeted her.

There it is.

Apparently that's enough to make her a "moderate".

It'll be really nice when I dont have to hear about this looney anynore

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think she's going to be around for a while.

She jumped ship at the perfect time. She'll be hired as a pundit and write a book, and be rested and ready for 2028.

She will run in 28... If there are elections.

She will bomb out of the primary in record time. Only the hardcore magats like her and they will never vote for a woman

Sarah Palin has entered the chat.

Also,. look at Kamala Harris. She didn't do well the the primaries, and ended up Veep.

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And many claim palin lost the election for mccain.

And we all saw how Kamala did in the general. Chuds have no interest in pushing for progress.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

Palin was a lousy candidate, and Kamala was going for the top job after Biden looked weak.

I can't predict the future, but I doubt we've seen the last of MTG

[–] GuyFawkesV@lemmy.world 33 points 2 weeks ago

"she made the threat to share the names of some of the men". Yet she didn't.

A Republican turned on another Republican?

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

his "friends will get hurt"

The most hard to believe quote out of all of this. He has no friends. His one and only friend was a sex offender/human trafficker who is dead.

[–] diabetic_porcupine@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

Bro even Epstein didn’t like trump

This is probably part of the made for television dramatic diversion of other issues as the carrot dangles closer. But by now we should all know there will be no justice. This will drag on while the fourth reich moves forward.

read between the lines. her family was threatened. to 'get hurt'... that is why she resigned from Congress rather than vote against
