Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) made clear on Saturday afternoon that she has no intention of taking her own life after making the case for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
The controversial conservative lawmaker appeared to be making the case that a “foreign government or powerful people” would attempt to silence her permanently to halt her efforts and, should she be found dead like the convicted pedophile in his jail cell, there needs to be an investigation.
lived like a tool and might die like a tool
another martyr in the making?
are they recycling the nutjobs while they are not needed anymore?
But it’s only an issue in the news because it has become a political fight and it should not be one.
Like religion, or medicine?
Still, as much as I dislike her, I appreciate that she’s taking a stand on this issue.
I don’t trust her, but I also don’t trust the people she’s claiming she’s afraid of.
I don’t think she’s faking the fear. Plenty of people get swept up into the fascist machine because of fear for acting out. Eventually your just forget who you are
Like the end of the SA leadership: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Long_Knives
This is one thing that she’s actually been very consistent about.
Three hours later, she hinted that she fears for her life.
She wrote,” I am not suicidal and one of the happiest healthiest people you will meet. I have full faith in God and Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. As a sinner, I am only saved through His grace and mercy. With that said, if something happens to me, I ask you all to find out which foreign government or powerful people would take heinous actions to stop the information from coming out. Not only about this issue, but because of the truth that I have been speaking. The People understand what I’m saying.”
Meanwhile Candace Owens seems to be implying today that Charlie Kirk’s accused assassin is also at risk of being Epsteined
I hate to say this bc of all the insane conspiracy theories I’ve heard these two spout, but I feel like there is a decent chance these both might be legit concerns, but they’ve cried wolf (or Jewish space lasers) so many times in the past, nobody is taking them seriously now.
MTG will be fine but that kid who killed kirk… Would fit better into the MAGA narrative dead than alive.
It’s very convenient that the guy who supposedly shot up the ICE facility is dead.
Hey, he hated ICE so much he killed… detainees. Wait.
Hey, he wrote “anti-ice” on one bullet with a sharpie, that’s pretty much a signed confession.
/s for those who need it
Dead men
tell no talesdon’t deny they belong to antifa.
Nothing will happen, but if MTG does it offed because of the Epstein files. Then we are in interesting times.
I’m sure it will be blamed on the libs.
I’m not so sure honestly. MTG is a true believer I think or is at least better at playing one than other Republicans. She has repeatedly said things that would have a MAGA republican posting on twitter a few hours later groveling to the god king for forgiveness but stuck to her guns.
To be clear I really really don’t like jewish space lasers lady but I think she is an actual Qanon believer and not a LARPer.
Unironically I’m also in this boat. She’s a good gague for the cultists.
'We are all afraid’: Murkowski says fear of retaliation from Trump administration is ‘real’
Remember this from back in April? I just thought she meant they might try to sabotage her re-election…
Already ending up like stallin’s people huh, WHO COULD HAVE CALLED THAT SHIT ON DAY ONE
“Those dastardly Clintons have killed again!”
It’s legit. We’ve heard of senators, congresspersons and judges saying the same things for months, in the MSM, no less. Take. Her. Seriously.
Of course they are legitimate concerns. Epstein was a warning, they can get anyone anywhere. They got Kirk, and they can get anyone.
the message was sent long ago.

I would take this as the moment they fell in line:
The train carrying members of Congress to a Republican retreat in West Virginia last month struck a garbage truck that had entered a railroad crossing after safety gates had come down, according to a new report released Wednesday.
Authorities identified the person killed as Christopher Foley, 28, of Louisa County, Va., one of two passengers inside the truck. The other passenger, still unidentified, was airlifted to the University of Virginia Medical Center with critical injuries.
The truck’s driver, also still unidentified, was transported to a hospital with serious injuries, according to Madeline Curott, public information officer of the Albemarle County, Va., police department.

The driver of the truck was transported by ground in serious condition. President Donald Trump had said Wednesday afternoon that the driver of the truck had been killed.
Marshall later told MSNBC that he first tried to help the deceased victim but “couldn’t find a pulse, so we started CPR and worked on that person for several, several minutes, and [it] just didn’t go real well for that gentlemen.”
First link is broken.
The same people who got Kirk killed?
With trans bullets, no less.
While listening to a trans Spotify playlist
Wish she was.
Political theater?
It may be, but in the end does it matter?
The key question of course is how the maga base is interpreting this.
Besides Media Matters, are there any groups who track the latest sentiments from right wing outlets, forums, etc?
The key question of course is how the maga base is interpreting this.
At least some of them are going to read it as “the corrupt pedophile Democrats want her dead so they aren’t exposed”. I wish I were joking, but these people might as well be holding the Olympic medal for mental gymnastics in blaming “the left” for everything that ever happens.
I honestly can’t tell.
Always with that vapid cro-magnon bitch
I wish she would for the restoration of integrity and democracy of Congress.
Maybe she’s trying to claw her way up from where Trump and his followers come from.
I’m not especially religious, and my thoughts would suggest not at all religious, but can we pray that some evil unknown (but also widely known to conspiracy theorists) group of wealthy secret organisation /individuals / family make this shitshow of a human disappeared?
You want the israelis to eliminate the critics of their blackmail?
That is a dumb thing to wish for, you should be embarrassed for how stupid your comment is, and how easy you were manipulated by organized parties here.
If she is finally, after all these years, trying to make a stand against an ‘evil unknown’ then why would you pray for her demise?
If she is slain and we celebrate, then nobody else will want to turn on the evil unknown?
But let’s be real I’m 75% sure she is just grifting lol.
Like all the others she is a pathological hateful and bigoted liar. Stop taking her and any other Republican’s word for what it is. Judge them by their deeds. So far the deeds we can judge her for is being complicit in the fascist takeover of the US.
Why does so many people, on lemmy of all places, keep falling for whatever these psychopathic liars say, whenever they say something that is just remotely in line with what they believe themselves? I mean it is no wonder these people had no difficulty taking over the US, it is apparently one of the most gullible places on Earth.
She’s literally up for reelection and even the script that she knew was record scratch turned on its ass thanks to
21st Century Nazi - The Turbo Speedrun. So all she is doing is trying to keep her kushy government health insurance and income for doing nothing - perks that citizens do not get, so she doesn’t have to deal with Sephora/Taco Bell employee health insurance.The paradox of what we’d like to see. She is so definitely just a grifter. Will flow whichever way pays.
If this is her way of foreshadowing a high-commitment shitpost, I’m here for it. Bonus points if it happens when she tries to set up a false flag to blame the anteefers but fails to heroically survive the encounter.
If I were her I would be
