Things are really getting ugly in Trump World.

Keystone Kash humiliated as crowd bursts into laughter
Story by Ewan Palmer • 5h • 3 min read

FBI Director Kash Patel was hit with a humiliating wave of laughter after being attacked onstage by MAGA wildcard Marjorie Taylor Greene.

In a speech at the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity in Texas, Greene discussed the alleged death threats she received after turning on President Donald Trump over the botched release of Jeffrey Epstein files. The former Georgia congresswoman said she received a barrage of threats after Trump blasted her as a “traitor,” including some that also targeted one of her adult sons.

Greene said she forwarded the threats to Patel, Trump, Vice President JD Vance, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and deputy chief of staff James Blair. “I got no response from Susie Wiles, none, and she’s a mother and a grandmother and a woman. I got no response from James Blair because he only cares about making money on campaigns.

“I did hear from Kash Patel, he said, ‘On it,’ but I haven’t heard from him since,” Greene said, before wryly adding: “I don’t know what he’s on,” prompting a huge burst of laughter from the audience. Greene’s April 25 remarks came days after a bombshell report from The Atlantic on Patel that included allegations of “excessive drinking” as well as “conspicuous inebriation and unexplained absences” during his time heading the FBI.

Snip

Elsewhere during her speech, Greene alleged that Trump did get back to her about the alleged death threats her family had received, but only to blame her for them.

Sooner or later they'd be at each other like scorpions in a bottle.

It wasn't that long ago that she was abusing others who weren't sufficiently "loyal enough" for Chump. Now she's on the outside looking in.

They actually did her a favor by kicking her out of their club, but she just doesn't realize it yet.

Looks like she’s deconstructed herself from the Cult…good for her…she’s apparently paying a price, and I LOVE that for her. Her vocal opposition to the regime may show other cultists they can leave as well. But I’d bet my last dollar she’s still as racist, homophobic and KKKristian as ever. Until that changes, she’s, at best, a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
