The New York Times published a detailed article today on the break-up between Trumpedo and rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. She has angered Trumpedo by believing the Jeffrey Epstein victims and refusing to say it's all a hoax.
For Greene, the decades that Epstein spent eluding justice for exploiting and sexually assaulting countless girls and young women while amassing a fortune, and the seeming efforts by the government to cover up the injustice, “represents everything wrong with Washington,” she told me. This September, Greene spoke with several of Epstein’s victims for the first time in a closed-door House Oversight Committee meeting. She knew that the women had paid their own way to come to Washington. She saw some of them trembling and crying as they spoke. Their accounts struck her as entirely believable. Greene herself had never been sexually abused, but she knew women who had. In her own small way, Greene later told me, she could understand what it was like for a woman to stand up to a powerful man.
After the hearing, Greene held a news conference at which she threatened to identify some of the men who had abused the women. (Greene says that she didn’t know those names herself but that she could have gotten them from the victims.) Trump called Greene to voice his displeasure. Greene was in her Capitol Hill office, and according to a staff member, everyone in the suite of rooms could hear him yelling at her as she listened to him on speakerphone. Greene says she expressed her perplexity over his intransigence. According to Greene, Trump replied, “My friends will get hurt.”Friends? What friends?
And who cares if pedophiles “get hurt” when they're outed as pedophiles?
Greene has gone from being one of the most ardent defenders of Trumpedo to wondering if she or one of her kids will be murdered after Trumpedo has labeled her a traitor.
Ah, well, if you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
Or worse.
