Context

To be clear to set the record straight on my support for the Massie Epstein discharge petition.

I stand with girls and women who are sexually abused and raped.

Period. Every time. At all times.

For me, it’s not about a pissing contest between political parties or political enemies.

The Epstein rape and pedophile network must be exposed.

The women and their attorney have said over and over that Donald Trump did nothing wrong and he was the only one that helped the women. That is factually true.

Also, the Democrats who had power for the past four years never did a single thing or showed they even cared about these women who were victims of Jeffrey Epstein. They could have exposed the entire thing while they had power but never lifted a finger to do so.

If anyone is implicated, then they have the right to clear their name.

Just as millions of Americans have had to do when falsely accused of a crime.

I’ve had to do that many times and even had to defend myself against lies and pay massive attorney bills to do it.

For example, I was wrongly accused of insurrection and actually had to sit on a witness stand, in a Georgia court of law, and defend myself and clear my name.

Release all the Epstein information by any means possible.

And return the focus to helping Americans.

I hear daily about how Americans can’t afford to pay their health insurance monthly premium, can’t afford rent, can’t afford to buy a home, can’t afford to pay for care for their aging parents, and can’t afford life in general.

The obsession over the Epstein files and fighting about it should not be happening and needs to end.

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

My name is staying on the discharge petition and I will dive into the Oversight committee investigation just as I do with every investigation.

And to be clear once again, I stand with the women, and the women who were raped at 14.

      Antisemitism accusations are really running dry at the moment, I suppose you want to compare the current, ongoing genocide in Gaza to Potato Head Greene’s comments about Jewish space lasers?

      Good luck with that, hoss

      The antisemitism arguments are also running dry because the Palestinian people are Semites, same and equal to the people of Israel.

        No, she’s a literal, actual antisemite. There are enough decent people calling out the horrors in Gaza. You don’t need to defend this piece of trash.

          I will as long as you refuse to respond to the actual policy issue that she is referring to instead of attacking her for receiving death threats,

          You make yourself sound like a terrible human being for attacking her when she is literally saying that she is living in fear for expressing her first amendment rights

          Your antisemitism arguments no longer hold water as I explained earlier. Mtg is against giving weapons and spending any more god damn federal funding on Israeli weapons to continue their ongoing slaughter of innocent civilians in Gaza.

          And also, your comments seem to be antisemitic. Do you acknowledge the ongoing genocide in Gaza by the Israeli government?

            Lol, “attacking her for receiving death threats”. I made one comment pointing out what she really cares about, nothing about the alleged danger the queen of bullshit is claiming.

            And she’s not against killing innocents. She’s against Israel, full stop. Learn to value your allies’ values. You roll around with trash, you don’t get to pretend you’re clean of that shit.

            Lastly, I already called out the genocide, so your bs gotcha is as useless as she is. Get some actual points next time.

              You sound really upset?

              I assume maybe you’re like me and don’t read the original post a lot of times so just an FYI, your antisemitism arguments again at her are fodder for late night television.

              You’re trying to deflect from literal genocide by laughing at MTG feeling vulnerable from death threats here.

              Prove me wrong bruh

              Also I don’t know if you watch the news but most of the fucking world is against the Israeli government right now, including supermajorities of Americans (from both sides of the aisle)

              Committing genocide against a foreign and sovereign government and people (as Israel is currently doing) will tend to have that effect.

                Well, I haven’t “laughed at her”, nor have I deflected anything about the genocide. Got anything more substantial to accuse me of?

                most of the fucking world is against the Israeli government right now, including supermajorities of Americans (from both sides of the aisle)

                Then go rally around one of them. Why are you so committed to defending this particular bigot from criticism and deflecting from her well documented antisemitism?

                  Do you deny that Netanyahu and the current Israeli government are bigots?

                  Why are you supporting genocide?

                  MTG has expressed concern and support for the Semitic Palestianian people. Supporting Palestinians is pro-semitic, not anti-semitic…

                  The Palestinian people are equal to and just as important as the citizens of Israel. I’m sorry if this hurts your feelings. But, your personal feelings don’t actually matter when it comes to the facts.

                    No.

                    Where have I done that?

                    She’s lying.

                    Never said they weren’t.

                    Now answer my questions.
