Khanna and Massey urge release of Jeffrey Epstein files
Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ro Khanna, and Thomas Massie joined survivors in urging the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s files.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has been out and about lately, feuding with President Donald Trump and many Republicans.
Now, some political observers are wondering if Greene, a longtime MAGA supporter, is setting a new tone for a potential presidential run in 2028. The Georgia Republican was pressed about a possible run for the White House in a Monday, Nov. 17, feature in Vanity Fair.
According to the paper, Green initially claimed, “I burned down the military-industrial complex, Big Pharma, and now the health insurance industry, lobbying groups here in Washington, D.C.”
When asked again, Greene said, “I have never said I would run for president.” After being asked the question a third and final time, she gave a different answer. “Well, I’m not thinking about running for president. I’m literally putting my heart and soul into trying to get the job done,” Greene told VF.
The former MAGA fan favorite was ousted by President Trump after spending much of her first year in office bashing her party in Congress and running afoul of House Speaker Mike Johnson.
The public breakup appears to center on Trump’s past relationship with convicted child molester Jeffrey Epstein, the release of government files on the disgraced financier, and Greene’s warning about rising health care costs, which were at the center of the government shutdown.
Last week, President Trump made it clear that he had a falling out with Greene, calling her a “freak” and giving her a new nickname: “Marjorie Traitor Greene.” The president claimed her recent change was due to his refusal to endorse her in next year’s Georgia Senate primary and dismissed her recent appearance on “The View” as a final act of defiance.
In an interview, the Georgia Republican said it was “embarrassing” that the Republican-led House of Representatives was in recess a month after the government shutdown.
“All ‘weird’ Marjorie does is complain, complain, complain!” President Trump posted on social media on November 14, saying he would no longer support her and encouraging other candidates to challenge her next year in the Republican primary for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, which she has represented since 2020.
Green posted in response. ”I do not worship or serve Donald Trump. I worship God, Jesus is my Savior, and I serve my district, GA14, and the American people.” Still, she told CNN’s Dana Bash on Nov. 16 that she hopes the two recover from their feud.
Asked if there was a path forward for the president and the Georgia Republican, Greene said: “I certainly hope they can reconcile.” “I can only speak for myself. I’m a Christian, and one of the most important parts of our faith is forgiveness, and I value that.”
