Marjorie Taylor Greene says she was ‘naive’ for believing Trump is man of the people

“I realized that I’m part of this toxic culture. I really started looking at my faith. I wanted to be more like Christ.”

Press (x) for doubt

This from the jewish space laser lady ?

    Nah. This backtracking is bullshit. She knew exactly who he was. She just fell off his coattails for whatever reason and now she’s playing the victim, even if it’s being a willfully ignorant victim.

    You know, it can’t be ignored that when someone middle or left or presumed left suddenly flips and goes MAGA they are immediately elevated and worshipped as an addition to the MAGA hivemind. Take Niki Manaj for example.

    But the left isn’t tripping over themselves to put former MAGA toads on a pedestal. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a fruitcake. I don’t know what her motivations are for turning on Trump and MAGA, but her previous lunacy makes her difficult to trust, to say the least.

        The rush of motivation can obfuscate the river of the obvious

        I mean it (sorta, let’s not get too picky about this) literally makes you an idiot when you let it do that, but it totally can

        Edit: quickly -> picky. Autocorrect fucked me when I was looking at the keyboard, and I didn’t notice 'til after

    She was being dumb personally making her insider trades for the whole world to see. She became a joke and everyone knew exactly what she was doing so she was cut out and got effed, so now she’s mad.

    So she’s either lying or willfully ignorant. I’m leaning towards the former. Either way, not someone worth listening to. Go away, Marge.

      I still don’t see the point of her lying. Maybe she’s pissed she didn’t get a job in the Trump admin. In any event, Democrats won’t elect her for anything, she’s leaving politics.

        Oh I get it, clear as day. Trump’s dying in front of our eyes with frontotemporal dementia, and god knows what else. Not to mention the Epstein files scandals. Once Trump is dead, the cult collapses. Anyone, like Vance, trying to step into his shoes get ALL the blame for ALL the things.

        tl;dr: She is wisely getting ahead on the coming crash.

        I loathe the woman, but she’s nowhere near as stupid as people think.

          Not to save her political career, that’s over. Could be the Epstein stuff is actually shocking to her because she’s an idiot.

        Could be many things. One thought is, she’s just all pissy she got played and she’s trying to stir the pot a bit on her way out before she descends into nowhere.

        Or maybe she thinks she start a grift like Charlie Kirk giving speeches or some shit (hence the Christ thing.)

          Would bet my life on this. These people only ever talk about Christ when they’re trying to grift the Christians. She saw how many people were happy to blow their entire retirement fund on Trump merch and she sees some of those people now being upset at Trump. So she moves in, talks some trash about Trump (because that’s all these people ever want, never solutions, only trash talk), sprinkle a little Jesus on it for the razzle-dazzle, boom you just sold $10m worth of MTG merch. Use that money to grease some palms and you’ve got speaking engagements booked at TPUSA events for the next hundred years.

    The mainstream media continue to inexplicably rehabilitate her image and as you can see by the comments here it’s literally working

      They are a person who saw that they were the problem. They get credit for that. They might still be a miserable person but we should encourage all Trump supporters to admit their mistake. Some of them might need some knife marks on their forehead but we will get to that later.

      “The mainstream media” bullshit is for Trumpers.

      She’s getting a small level of coverage because of her sharp departure from previous statements.

      She might be full of shit but the media simply reporting what she says is not unethical in any way.

    You know. I hope she’s earnest about this wake up call and becomes a MAGA “reformist.” Bad people in toxic systems can do good things in life, and her following isn’t trivial.

    …But proof is in the puddin. Especially with her history.

    I will also say that, if she’s betting on a Trump collapse, that is not a great bet and she knows it. If she simply wants power, it doesn’t seem like she’d be leaving Congress while saying these things.

      If she were in it for the power, she’d use her new role as ‘maverick’ in the GOP’s razor-thin margin to play kingmaker.

      If she were in if for the money, she’d retire as soon as her pension vests.

      If she were Truly Awakened, she’d resign as soon as she learned she’s been tainted by a toxic system.
