Marjorie Taylor Greene has pointed to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal as a major source of voter dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump and the GOP. She said the issue is fueling backlash ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.
Marjorie Taylor Greene slams Trump’s handling of Epstein files
After announcing her resignation from Congress in January, the former representative found herself at the center of a fallout with Trump. The fallout also strained her ties with the Republican Party. Now, Greene is raising concerns about the GOP’s prospects in the upcoming midterm elections.
The 52-year-old wrote, “For anyone who is confused about why Democrats are likely to win. Here’s your starter pack of reasons. We tried to stop all this. But Trump doesn’t like me and Massie. He likes his Epstein friends and Netanyahu.”
Her remarks followed a post by Thomas Massie, who had earlier shared his own concerns, stating, “What’s coming was avoidable, but Republicans in Congress let Trump start a war, increase spending, arm a genocide, betray MAHA, and cover up for Epstein’s co-conspirators. I was ousted with over $30 million of foreign lobby money for refusing to go along, and here we are.”
Greene also weighed in on the GOP’s chances in the midterms during her conversation with CNN. She said, “I think it’s a complete referendum on Donald Trump—his betrayal, where he promised no more foreign wars and to bring world peace; not releasing the Epstein files, defending pedophiles and rapists instead of helping women who were raped as 14- and 16-year-old girls.” Trump was friends with Jeffrey Epstein during the 1990s and early 2000s.
Greene also added that the upcoming elections would serve as a referendum on House Speaker Mike Johnson and other congressional Republicans. Greene accused them of failing to stand up to Trump or advance their own priorities in the House and Senate.
