Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) made clear on Saturday afternoon that she has no intention of taking her own life after making the case for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The controversial conservative lawmaker appeared to be making the case that a “foreign government or powerful people” would attempt to silence her permanently to halt her efforts and, should she be found dead like the convicted pedophile in his jail cell, there needs to be an investigation.

Three hours later, she hinted that she fears for her life.

She wrote,” I am not suicidal and one of the happiest healthiest people you will meet. I have full faith in God and Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. As a sinner, I am only saved through His grace and mercy. With that said, if something happens to me, I ask you all to find out which foreign government or powerful people would take heinous actions to stop the information from coming out. Not only about this issue, but because of the truth that I have been speaking. The People understand what I’m saying.”

Meanwhile Candace Owens seems to be implying today that Charlie Kirk's accused assassin is also at risk of being Epsteined

I hate to say this bc of all the insane conspiracy theories I've heard these two spout, but I feel like there is a decent chance these both might be legit concerns, but they've cried wolf (or Jewish space lasers) so many times in the past, nobody is taking them seriously now.

Nothing will happen, but if MTG does it offed because of the Epstein files. Then we are in interesting times.

I'm sure it will be blamed on the libs.

[-] scintilla@crust.piefed.social 18 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not so sure honestly. MTG is a true believer I think or is at least better at playing one than other Republicans. She has repeatedly said things that would have a MAGA republican posting on twitter a few hours later groveling to the god king for forgiveness but stuck to her guns.

To be clear I really really don't like jewish space lasers lady but I think she is an actual Qanon believer and not a LARPer.

'We are all afraid’: Murkowski says fear of retaliation from Trump administration is ‘real’

Remember this from back in April? I just thought she meant they might try to sabotage her re-election...

Already ending up like stallin's people huh, WHO COULD HAVE CALLED THAT SHIT ON DAY ONE

"Those dastardly Clintons have killed again!"

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 14 points 2 weeks ago

It's legit. We've heard of senators, congresspersons and judges saying the same things for months, in the MSM, no less. Take. Her. Seriously.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Of course they are legitimate concerns. Epstein was a warning, they can get anyone anywhere. They got Kirk, and they can get anyone.

[-] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 weeks ago

MTG will be fine but that kid who killed kirk... Would fit better into the MAGA narrative dead than alive.

[-] TrippaSnippa@aussie.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago

It's very convenient that the guy who supposedly shot up the ICE facility is dead.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Hey, he hated ICE so much he killed... detainees. Wait.

[-] TrippaSnippa@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Hey, he wrote "anti-ice" on one bullet with a sharpie, that's pretty much a signed confession.

/s for those who need it

Dead men ~~tell no tales~~ don't deny they belong to antifa.

[-] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Alleged assasins of fascist icons seem to have a weird habit of killing themselves before they can be questioned properly about anything

[-] magnetosphere@fedia.io 49 points 2 weeks ago

But it’s only an issue in the news because it has become a political fight and it should not be one.

Like religion, or medicine?

Still, as much as I dislike her, I appreciate that she’s taking a stand on this issue.

[-] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 43 points 2 weeks ago

I don't trust her, but I also don't trust the people she's claiming she's afraid of.

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 21 points 2 weeks ago

This is one thing that she's actually been very consistent about.

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think she's faking the fear. Plenty of people get swept up into the fascist machine because of fear for acting out. Eventually your just forget who you are

the message was sent long ago.

I would take this as the moment they fell in line:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/truck-hit-by-train-carrying-gop-lawmakers-was-in-crossing-after-warning-ntsb-says

The train carrying members of Congress to a Republican retreat in West Virginia last month struck a garbage truck that had entered a railroad crossing after safety gates had come down, according to a new report released Wednesday.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/train-carrying-gop-lawmakers-to-retreat-hits-truck-on-tracks-1-killed

Authorities identified the person killed as Christopher Foley, 28, of Louisa County, Va., one of two passengers inside the truck. The other passenger, still unidentified, was airlifted to the University of Virginia Medical Center with critical injuries.

The truck's driver, also still unidentified, was transported to a hospital with serious injuries, according to Madeline Curott, public information officer of the Albemarle County, Va., police department.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/train-carrying-gop-lawmakers-retreat-hits-trash-truck-n843311

The driver of the truck was transported by ground in serious condition. President Donald Trump had said Wednesday afternoon that the driver of the truck had been killed.

Marshall later told MSNBC that he first tried to help the deceased victim but "couldn't find a pulse, so we started CPR and worked on that person for several, several minutes, and [it] just didn't go real well for that gentlemen."

The same people who got Kirk killed?

[-] DaMummy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

With trans bullets, no less.

[-] Kurious84@lemmings.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe she's trying to claw her way up from where Trump and his followers come from.

Political theater?

[-] lennybird@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

It may be, but in the end does it matter?

The key question of course is how the maga base is interpreting this.

Besides Media Matters, are there any groups who track the latest sentiments from right wing outlets, forums, etc?

Wish she was.

[-] Fyrnyx@kbin.melroy.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

I wish she would for the restoration of integrity and democracy of Congress.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 2 weeks ago

Neither was Epstein, honey-bunch.

[-] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

My instinct is typically to never trust anything that comes out of the bitch's mouth.

But given her saying this implicates the assholes she typically enthusiastically cheerleads, I'm more inclined to take it as legit.

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

If this is her way of foreshadowing a high-commitment shitpost, I'm here for it. Bonus points if it happens when she tries to set up a false flag to blame the anteefers but fails to heroically survive the encounter.

The only ones who would harm her over this would be other Republicans. I wish she would let that sink in, because she's spent her career propping them up.

Marge thinks way too highly of her worth to the world. They won't kill her because she's a joke and has nothing they fear. "Release the Epstein Files!" isn't evidence, doll.

[-] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Girl you're not important enough to kill. You think you're so relevant cause you talk loud, you're not
