MAGA firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene has joined forces with Democrats to pressure the Trump administration to release the entirety of the Epstein files

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said the CIA, FBI and the Justice Department “holds the truth” on Jeffrey Epstein as she vowed to reveal “every damn name” of the purported high-powered clients of the late financier’s underage sex trafficking operation.

The Georgia representative, a Trump loyalist, dialed up the pressure on her own party by speaking at a news conference on Capitol Hill Wednesday, hosted by fellow rogue GOP Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California.

Greene has backed Massie’s “Epstein Files Transparency Bill,” along with fellow GOP congress members Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace. They were joined by as many as 100 survivors of Epstein’s abuse at the event.

      Twice, she’s surprisingly pro-palestine and a lot better then most dems on calling it a genocide and for an arms embargo to israel.

      Horrible on almost everything else though…

        I’d bet it’s driven by shame and vengeance. She probably actually thought those old smoky backrooms would open for her, but she’s probably already realized she’s marginally important at best, and is reaching for another 15 minutes before grassroots efforts pry bar her ass out of that seat.

        She’s grasping for anything she thinks can hurt the people who “wronged” her.

        Even then, I have to wonder how much of that support is actually caring about people suffering due to genocide and how much of it is Ms. Space Lasers hating Israel for being Jewish.
