Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump texted her that her son deserves death threats

https://people.com/mtg-claims-trump-texts-said-her-son-deserves-death-threats-11966958

"MTG Says She Would 'Probably Get Put in Jail' If She Released Trump Texts Allegedly Saying Her Youngest Son Deserves Death Threats
And when she confronted the president via text about the threats on her life and her children, Greene alleges, “Trump proceeded to tell me that it was my fault and that I deserve it. If my son gets killed, I deserve it because I was a traitor to hi
m.”

Greene was fine when he was doing this to liberals. But this is still some crazy shit and deserves coverage.

Her son's safety - yes!

But her? A racist, homophobic, transphobic, creepy person decided that pedophilia was a line she couldn't cross.

Whatever

When she goes on like this, I wish someone would stop her and ask her why she supported it in the past when Trump did this to other people. Trump has been doing this stuff for a decade now, she only has a problem now that it's her and her family.

In fact, when Trump's rhetoric spawned a kidnapping and murder plot against Governor Whitmer in Michigan, she defended the kidnappers.

She heckled Biden at every opportunity and then gloated on Fox fucking News about maliciously voting against every single policy he brought before Congress. That woman is a vile POS.

But I believe she regretted some of her prior actions.

It certainly doesn’t mean I trust her, but I hope she works toward rectifying her part in creating the toxic political atmosphere we live in. She needs to understand she shares responsibility for where we’re at. She has a long way to go.

She made a generic statement about admitting she contributed to it, but didn't say she was sorry for specific things she did. It was a copout.

And this is typical of all Conservatives, they only care when it's happening to them.

She's simply enlarged her target pool. I'm not about to 'sugar o'er the devil himself' simply because he hates trump too-- the devil remains true to his own nature... and so does Ms. greene.

Trump’s threats are wrong, and were wrong when MTG was full on MAGA. The best way to end Trump is to drive him and his supporters out of power. Until then, she continues to be self serving. Nothing new.

So, yeah, she's a grown-ass woman who ought to have been able to tell the difference between a pile of shit and a pile of buckwheat pancakes.

So yeah, fuck her.

In a statement to PEOPLE responding to Greene's allegations, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle called her “a quitter who is pathetically trying to stay relevant” by bashing Trump, adding “unfortunately, Trump Derangement Syndrome has rotted former Congresswoman Greene’s peanut-sized brain.”

I'll take whomever we can get. The only reason I microscopically respect (??) her is bcz she isn't trying to backtrack on who she is. She's still maga and as shitty as that is ... she stands by her convictions. I know. Fucking dichotomy. They did this to all of us. Ugh
