‘I’m like, “[Expletive] you,”’ Marjorie Taylor Greene said about receiving threats from White House officials

Marjorie Taylor Greene has come out swinging at the White House over the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case.

The rift between the MAGA firebrand and White House deepened after a Trump official apparently told her that her support of bipartisan legislation ordering the release of the so-called Epstein files would be viewed as a “very hostile act.”

Greene is one of four Republicans, alongside Reps. Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace and Lauren Boebert to have signed on to a discharge petition to force the release of files related to Epstein. If a discharge petition receives the signature of a majority of members, they can force a vote without the consent of leadership.

    By calling MGTs choice a “very hostile act”, Trump is threatening MGT with hostility. She better not be swayed by Trumps threats. She isn’t alone. Most Americans are with her on this.

      It’s entirely kayfabe guys. Please read up on it, understand that our entire future of politics and social discourse is going to be kayfabe. The sooner we can digest and accept this fact the sooner we can use this as a tool instead of trying to “take the higher road” which our population has broadly forgotten about.

      I am sad that so many progressives and leftists are not seeing this for what it is.

      I hate it here.

        It really goes to show you how fucking dumb she is though. Yeah, good, she’s sticking to her principles here (that or her check hasn’t come through yet), but she actually believes all the bullshit she’s been peddling for these years. If she isn’t corrupt, she’s just a complete fucking imbecile.

            I don’t share this sentiment. Not only because I don’t believe they are all stupid, but because I feel it lets them off the hook. They can basically get away with anything if we say they are just stupid when, in fact, they know exactly what they are doing. I believe the vast majority of them are very intelligent, they are just greedy, corrupt, evil fucks.
