‘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.
Aren’t the progressives all on board with forcing the files to be released?
On this particular issue, yes. But I think they’re talking about other things that the Democratic party supports but that are bad for their constituents.
If we aren’t just talking about this specific instance and instead we’re talking about her attitude in general, is that really the attitude we want to see in progressive politicians?
She bucked the party on war with iran, gaza, and geo engineering.
So yes, fighting against the imperial mandates of party leadership is something we should want to see in all dems, as effective as their meek acquiesance has been…
As far as I know yes.
But, D congresspersons rarely speak against party leadership.
Democrats don’t, but the progressives who caucus with Democrats do.
Depends on the progressive, I’d say. But, they are certainly more willing to, so I might have been better to leave that adjective out of my comment.
