Marjorie Taylor Greene Accuses Trump Of Gaslighting Americans On PricesGeorgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene continues attacking her own Republican Party and she isnt showing signs of slowing down.
President Donald Trump has made it a point to spew lies regarding inflation and grocery prices, and Greene addressed these claims on The Sean Spicer Show on Thursday.
President Trump and his administration does deserve a lot of credit for lowering inflation and holding it steady, but that doesnt bring prices down, and so gaslighting the people and trying to tell them that prices have come down is not helping, its actually infuriating people, Greene told the former White House press secretary.
Greene added that the Trump administration cannot pull the wool over the American peoples eyes.

Greene says Trump's stance on Epstein files is "huge miscalculation"
Washington Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Friday that President Trump's opposition to releasing files from the federal investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is a "huge miscalculation." In an exclusive interview on "CBS Mornings," Greene said she doesn't believe the president has anything to hide, noting that some of Epstein's victims have said Mr. Trump "has done nothing wrong."
Greene, of Georgia, was among the four House Republicans who joined all Democrats in signing on to a discharge petition that forces a vote in the House on a measure compelling the Justice Department to release materials related to its probe into Epstein. The vote is expected next week.
Mr. Trump has slammed the focus on Epstein as a "hoax" pushed by Democrats to deflect the blame for the government shutdown, which was the longest in U.S. history and ended Wednesday.
"Some Weak Republicans have fallen into their clutches because they are soft and foolish," he wrote on Truth Social on Friday. "Epstein was a Democrat, and he is the Democrat's problem, not the Republican's problem! Ask Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, and Larry Sommers about Epstein, they know all about him, don't waste your time with Trump. I have a Country to run!"

He didn't lower inflation, he's raised it.

(76,693 posts)The last 3 years (presuming nothing will happen in the next 46 days to change '25) were 3.4%, 2.9%, & 3.0%.
So, he did indeed preside over an increasing inflation rate.
Not much of an increase, but the exact opposite of lowering it, which is what she claimed.

(797 posts)Since shes unelectable for statewide office in GA, Im guessing shes angling to cash out in the DC swamp by working as a lobbyist or on the staff of one of the 1000s of DC-based think tanks/foundations/PACs or any other uni-party organizations.
Having been in my share of relationships with MTG-type crazies, Ive learned they can suppress it for a bit. But, it always comes back.

A swerve that steep isn't mere common sense; it's a lobotomy.

The spinning isn't working.
Though MTG has pushed for the opening and complete disclosure of the files, she is still MAGA and ambition driven. She's reading the tea leaves and knows the Trump-owned GOP holds a losing hand. So, she'll say whatever she thinks will keep her nasty head above water.
All these people are snakes.
