ZombiFrancis comments on Marjorie Taylor Greene Drops Bombshell: Trump ‘Fought the Hardest’ to Bury Epstein Files, Warns MAGA It Was No Hoax

MTG represents the post-Epstein MAGA movement. All the fascist policy, none of the Epstein baggage. She is extremely valuable to the movement pivoting around the pedophilia.

It seems to me to be a good thing if MAGA is fracturing? I'd be more concerned if they were unified in hiding behind one scapegoat, to avoid repercussions from the Epstein files

Yes, it is a good thing. But the rat won't drown itself, so it's looking for any line to safety.

They are winning, these rejections and condemnations of maga defectors all treat them like WW1 countries that unconditionally surrendered, not the victorious party seeking to put a permanent fix in. Rats drown? Hardly. She would've been fine if she didn't speak out. She's not fine because she did speak out.

And right wing influence operations come onto our communities and trash her, to reject defectors because of lack of purity.

Yeah, she's pissed because she realized she's expendable rather than a main character.

Too bad she's a woman. That won't respect her enough to follow her. She's should get her husband to say exactly what she said. Then they'll listen.

I don’t think that’s a bad thing. The fact is, she is still a smarmy lunatic who supports fascism, even if she dislikes Trump personally. The left elevating her as a “reasonable centrist” gives her power and its power she would giddily abuse if given the opportunity.

That raises an interesting question: how many MAGA figures are not compromised by the Epstein files? How much support would they have left from oligarchs and foreign MAGA allies?
