"Marjorie Taylor Greene, now just days away from stepping down as a congresswoman for Georgia, has said in her latest mea culpa interview that she "was just so naive" for believing that Donald Trump was a man of the people.

Greene said the Epstein files represented "everything wrong with Washington" and said it was a story of "rich, powerful elites doing horrible things and getting away with it. And the women are the victims".

After meeting with victims, she claimed, Trump called her and yelled "my friends will get hurt" if the files were released.

In the interview, Greene said that she had been wrong to accuse Democrats of treason. She acknowledged that she is now a political outcast from both sides of the political divide."

She says that she asked Trump to invite Epstein victims to the WH, but he told her that, "they had done nothing to deserve the honor."

Greene says she didn't like MAGA Mar-a-Lago sexualization'

... Outgoing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) told The New York Times in an interview released this week that she "never liked" the "sexualization" of women she said goes on at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.

"I never liked the MAGA Mar-a-Lago sexualization," Greene said. "I believe how women in leadership present themselves sends a message to younger women."

"I have two daughters, and I've always been uncomfortable with how those women puff up their lips and enlarge their breasts," she added. ...

Nah, she was just fine with going along with it so long as it was convenient and profitable for her.

Same as Elise Stefanik.

Shameless opportunists, nothing more, nothing less.

I think MTG is growing as a person.

I Think her resigning from Congress is a mistake on her part.

She would be an asset if she turns on Trump Completely and is still Reelected.

Stranger things have happened.

The example of that alone would hasten Trump's political Demise....Bigly.

She believed that wildfires were started by space lasers and that the Sandy Hook and Parkland shootings were staged by the government. She's a very stupid person who is easily misled. She has no business being in Congress.

When I first read about her wildfires and space-laser thing, I thought it was an Onion article ...

Americans elect dumbasses because so many Americans Are dumbasses.

It's called representation by your peers.

Nobody ever said Democracy was perfect or even that it is always reasonable.

She's representative of her district.

Warts and All.

Get over yourselves, if you think you can do better,run for office.

In Georgia.

Some Trumpers appear to be on the verge of figuring out that Trump45 and Trump47 aren't just Spinoff TV series from The Apprentice... and that the lead actor might really be having an impact on their lives and their country.

Not in a good way; he's a reflection of their prejudices, racism, bigotry, misogyny, and a number of other irrational fears.

I know several Trump "true believers".

Most are not stupid in a general sense.

They worship successful cruelty and Violence.

It's a character flaw, Not Stupidity in many cases.

Some of the Trumpies I know are "Good People" if you're White and they like you. I would trust them with almost anything.

Kinda like the Tribe,if you're Kosher, then you're Equal, and its a "Vibrant Democracy".

If you're Not...

The Claws come out.

Up to and including Genocide and War.

Human Nature is Perverse and unaccountable.

Like effetepustule, the horse-faced mutant from Georgia is an apologist for Vlad the war criminal.
