Context

To be clear to set the record straight on my support for the Massie Epstein discharge petition.

I stand with girls and women who are sexually abused and raped.

Period. Every time. At all times.

For me, it’s not about a pissing contest between political parties or political enemies.

The Epstein rape and pedophile network must be exposed.

The women and their attorney have said over and over that Donald Trump did nothing wrong and he was the only one that helped the women. That is factually true.

Also, the Democrats who had power for the past four years never did a single thing or showed they even cared about these women who were victims of Jeffrey Epstein. They could have exposed the entire thing while they had power but never lifted a finger to do so.

If anyone is implicated, then they have the right to clear their name.

Just as millions of Americans have had to do when falsely accused of a crime.

I’ve had to do that many times and even had to defend myself against lies and pay massive attorney bills to do it.

For example, I was wrongly accused of insurrection and actually had to sit on a witness stand, in a Georgia court of law, and defend myself and clear my name.

Release all the Epstein information by any means possible.

And return the focus to helping Americans.

I hear daily about how Americans can’t afford to pay their health insurance monthly premium, can’t afford rent, can’t afford to buy a home, can’t afford to pay for care for their aging parents, and can’t afford life in general.

The obsession over the Epstein files and fighting about it should not be happening and needs to end.

But it’s only an issue in the news because it has become a political fight and it should not be one.

My name is staying on the discharge petition and I will dive into the Oversight committee investigation just as I do with every investigation.

And to be clear once again, I stand with the women, and the women who were raped at 14.

    Isn’t Marjorie potato head correct on the issue of Gaza? I support her on this issue. Just because I disagree with her on lots of other issues doesn’t mean she is incorrect about the Epstein files and Gaza…

    The people do understand, these are not left or right issues

    Edit: also it feels weird to say it but please don’t wish death on people. Dehumanizing each other is how we get here.

        Antisemitism accusations are really running dry at the moment, I suppose you want to compare the current, ongoing genocide in Gaza to Potato Head Greene’s comments about Jewish space lasers?

        Good luck with that, hoss

        The antisemitism arguments are also running dry because the Palestinian people are Semites, same and equal to the people of Israel.

          No, she’s a literal, actual antisemite. There are enough decent people calling out the horrors in Gaza. You don’t need to defend this piece of trash.

            I will as long as you refuse to respond to the actual policy issue that she is referring to instead of attacking her for receiving death threats,

            You make yourself sound like a terrible human being for attacking her when she is literally saying that she is living in fear for expressing her first amendment rights

            Your antisemitism arguments no longer hold water as I explained earlier. Mtg is against giving weapons and spending any more god damn federal funding on Israeli weapons to continue their ongoing slaughter of innocent civilians in Gaza.

            And also, your comments seem to be antisemitic. Do you acknowledge the ongoing genocide in Gaza by the Israeli government?

              Lol, “attacking her for receiving death threats”. I made one comment pointing out what she really cares about, nothing about the alleged danger the queen of bullshit is claiming.

              And she’s not against killing innocents. She’s against Israel, full stop. Learn to value your allies’ values. You roll around with trash, you don’t get to pretend you’re clean of that shit.

              Lastly, I already called out the genocide, so your bs gotcha is as useless as she is. Get some actual points next time.

                You sound really upset?

                I assume maybe you’re like me and don’t read the original post a lot of times so just an FYI, your antisemitism arguments again at her are fodder for late night television.

                You’re trying to deflect from literal genocide by laughing at MTG feeling vulnerable from death threats here.

                Prove me wrong bruh

                Also I don’t know if you watch the news but most of the fucking world is against the Israeli government right now, including supermajorities of Americans (from both sides of the aisle)

                Committing genocide against a foreign and sovereign government and people (as Israel is currently doing) will tend to have that effect.

                  Well, I haven’t “laughed at her”, nor have I deflected anything about the genocide. Got anything more substantial to accuse me of?

                  most of the fucking world is against the Israeli government right now, including supermajorities of Americans (from both sides of the aisle)

                  Then go rally around one of them. Why are you so committed to defending this particular bigot from criticism and deflecting from her well documented antisemitism?

        She is more principled than Biden, Obama, Bush, and all the other corporate republicans and democrats, including newsom, Buttigieg, Kamala, and Hillary.

        As much as I would love to make fun of her I’m not gonna do it because of these two issues she has expressed policies I agree with… there’s actually a few other things where she aligns with progressive values as well to be honest but I would have to remember them… damn it it’s a couple of other things lol

            When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. -Maya Angelou.

            On these two issues, Epstein and Israeli governments corruption fraud abuse tinkering in us politics and the ongoing genocide in Gaza, MTG is correct

            And no, I will not shut the fuck up but thank you for offering

            Well, wait… Obama can’t run

            But at least Obama gives awesome speeches while he fucks you over. Oh, I guess privatized mandatory health insurance is so fucking amazing lol, he does get Obamacare which they are still fighting to dismantle.

            But you see now with Trump how much of a pedestal the president gets. Obama was weak as fuck.

            Him and bush and clinton and the folks before him chose to commit literal war crimes rather than help the American people

                No, between the two, Obama can’t run because he has already served two terms. But not saying I would vote for potato head green though

                  The question was would you prefer MTG as president right now over Obama, Biden or Harris?

                  Biden or Harris couldn’t be president right now because Trump is and they’re pretty low on the list of presidential succession.

      I don’t know, I am generally a pacifist, but I absolutely wish death on ICE agents and I feel zero guilt for it. I firmly believe they are a net negative stain on the world and offer no redeeming qualities.

        There’s some people I wish didn’t exist, but here we are. I promise, it doesn’t do you any good to hold hate in your heart for these guys, although I hear you.

        Words are very important, there’s a difference between saying I wish death on someone versus I wish they would stop spewing their hate and acting on it… the first thing that comes to mind is the Mario and Luigi guy. I wish corporations were not considered people according to the citizens united case so we could get money out of our politics… but it’s not cool to go around randomly shooting people I suppose…. Same with the Kirk killer. That guy was vile, but he didn’t deserve to die like that.

        I guess I just think that what we are arguing about is more of a symptom and not the actual problem.

        Don’t make fun of someone for receiving death threats, in general specifically, but especially if it’s about a policy or specific issue you literally agree with them on.

      She’s a Nazi and she thinks Israel killed Kirk for being one of the other conservatives pushing for the release of the Epstein files.

      Honestly can’t say I’d be particularly surprised to find out Epstein was running a compromat manufacturing ring for Israel, it just wouldn’t be a Jewish thing, it’d be an inevitable result of oligarchy and making security exceptions for fascist states thing.

        She might not be a Nazi, actually. And that might be the reason for the death threats.

        She’s an idiot for other reasons, including being a maga true believer.

        Wait, she’s definitely an anti-Semite, even if she’s coincidentally right about Gaza.

        I meant she’s not a Forth Reich American Nazi that wants fascism here (and is decidedly pro Israel).

        Sorry our historical rerun has a few lines crossed.

    She is a stupid, uneducated, attention needing, nutjob. The fact that she is on the right side for an issue doesn’t change that fact. I can’t think of someone - no matter how deplorable they may be - that I disagree with 100% of the time, just like I can’t think of someone I agree with 100% of the time.

    She got the russian money but didn’t deliver, so the FSB thinks about a window accident.

    She knows it and warns us.

    That first sentence makes my brain itch. So many grammatical errors. I can’t tell if she’s happy or not?
