Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said that her defense of survivors of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and threat to disclose the identities of some of the men who abused them broke her relationship with President Donald Trump, who said his “friends will get hurt” if she went through with it.

Greene’s claim came in remarks from two long interviews published Monday in the New York Times Magazine. After a closed-door meeting with Epstein victims in September and a subsequent news conference where she made the threat to share the names of some of the men, Greene said Trump rebuked her.

Greene told the Times that the last conversation she had with Trump was when she requested that he invite some of the survivors to the Oval Office. Trump, she recounted, replied that they did not deserve the opportunity.

    I think she’s going to be around for a while.

    She jumped ship at the perfect time. She’ll be hired as a pundit and write a book, and be rested and ready for 2028.

      She will run in 28… If there are elections.

      She will bomb out of the primary in record time. Only the hardcore magats like her and they will never vote for a woman

        Sarah Palin has entered the chat.

        Also,. look at Kamala Harris. She didn’t do well the the primaries, and ended up Veep.

          And many claim palin lost the election for mccain.

          And we all saw how Kamala did in the general. Chuds have no interest in pushing for progress.

            Palin was a lousy candidate, and Kamala was going for the top job after Biden looked weak.

            I can’t predict the future, but I doubt we’ve seen the last of MTG
