Amid the "feud" between President Trump and Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, mainstream media outlets are giving Greene a more sympathetic ear and Greene is more than happy to oblige.
During an interview with Dana Bash on CNN yesterday, Greene stated
I would like to say, humbly, I’m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics; it’s very bad for our country. It’s been something I’ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
I’m only responsible for myself and my own words and actions … and I’ve been working on this a lot lately, to put down the knives in politics. I really want to just see people be kind to one another.
Yet in the very same interview, Greene also stated:
I think it’s the question that many Americans are asking, especially when we saw information recently come out in these e-mails that the Oversight Committee that I serve on has released.
And we saw Jeffrey Epstein with ties to Ehud Barak. We saw him making business deals with them, also business deals that involved the Israeli government, and seems to have led into their intel agencies. And I think the right question to ask is, was Jeffrey Epstein working for Israel.
Well, so much for putting down the knives and being kind to one another. At least where it concerns Jews.
According to Greene's logic, Jeffrey Epstein is Jewish and is therefore working for Israel and, Israel, in turn, is trying to prevent the release of the Epstein files.
Can you say Anti-Semitism 101?
Given Greene's earlier reference to the assassination of Kirk, she has seen fit to amplify claims that Israel was somehow responsible for his murder.
Lest we forget, Greene pinned JFK's assassination on Israel less than six months ago. Mind you, the same country which commemorated a Catholic President with a national memorial.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is and has always been a conspiracy theorist and there's no conspiracy theory older than anti-Semitism.
As for Greene being on the outs with Trump, I wouldn't bet the farm on that either. In yet the same interview with Bash, Greene insisted that she still supports Trump and "wants to make up" with him.
Unless Laura Loomer is serious about moving to Georgia to issue a primary challenge, I think the chances of Greene getting back in Trump's good graces are quite good. And if Loomer does challenge Greene, I think Greene probably prevails.
Yes, I don't have a problem with Greene's support for releasing the Epstein files. But I question her motivations for doing so. In which case, methinks the mainstream media should avoid giving Marjorie Taylor Greene more credence and credibility than she deserves.
